Fighting food waste one box at a time: What I made with the veggies from my first Hungry Harvest box

Notes from a Messy Kitchen

If you’ve spent much time in the Messy Kitchen, you know how I feel about food waste. If you haven’t spent much time here, I’ll give you the gist: I am vehemently opposed. When one in five children right here in the United States don’t have the food they need...

Paleo Peaches & Cream Chicken Salad

Notes from a Messy Kitchen

I feel I need to confess that when I hear “peaches and cream” the raunchy R&B song from the early 2000’s start’s playing in my head. I need it cause you know that I’m a fiend. Gettin’ freaky in my Bentley limousine. It’s even better when it’s with ice cream....
