Italian-Style Egg Skillet

Cooking Time: 35

Uncategorized

After finishing this dish last weekend, Courtney immediately demanded the recipe. He couldn’t stop talking about how awesome it was. Funny thing is, it has a heaping cup of “m word” in it. That’s right, MUSHROOMS. I said it – she who cannot be named. Thing is, we’ve had it...

Plantain Frittata with Cajun Chicken Sausage

Cooking Time: 90 minutes

Uncategorized

Outside of the international cuisine, I’ve not been sharing many recipes in this space as of late. I don’t see a lot of value add to sharing my version of something you can find elsewhere, so unless I a) made somewhat substantial modifications to the recipe and b) plan to...

One Pan Autumn Chicken Dinner: Roasted Chicken Thighs with Brussels Sprouts, Sweet Potatos, Apples, Bacon and Beets

Notes from a Messy Kitchen

This may be my new go-to fall recipe. It’s unbelievably tasty, with crispy herbed chicken thighs alongside the abundantly roastable vegetables that characterize fall. It’s also incredibly versatile, and lends itself well to the customizability that is so crucial when you have a CSA box delivered each week. You could easily...

Coconut Crusted Chicken Fingers with Honey Dijon Dipping Sauce

Notes from a Messy Kitchen

Ever get a craving for chicken McNuggets? No? Mmm, yeah… me either. Technically speaking it was a craving for honey dipping sauce that actually sparked the making of this recipe. When I was a kid, my Happy Meal go-tos were a cheeseburger or McNuggets. Now I find nothing less appealing than...

Paleo Veggie Noodle Turkey Lasagna

Notes from a Messy Kitchen

I’m not so sure what to call this dish. It was born out of my Hungry Harvest box, that’s for sure. I guess it’s one part lasagna, one part pastelón, one part veggie casserole… while incorporating turkey chili. Regardless, it’s one part healthy, one part delicious, and a lot of parts...

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....

A Burger Salad You’ll Be Eating All Summer

Notes from a Messy Kitchen

A great bun can make a burger, but more often than not it’s just a filler, doing little more than serving as a vehicle to get the burger to your mouth without the use of a fork… and taking up valuable stomach space. When out for dinner, I’ll sometimes...

Oops, it’s Soup! Roasted Red Pepper Tahini Soup with Roasted Tomatoes, Pan Fried Mushrooms and Grilled Chicken

Notes from a Messy Kitchen

Sometimes things don’t turn out as planned, but they still turn our really, really, really good. This soup is one of them. It was actually intended to be a spaghetti squash dish with roasted red pepper sauce. Courtney couldn’t resist buying a massive spaghetti squash (seriously, this thing was the size of...

Paleo Shrimp and Grits {Whole30}

Notes from a Messy Kitchen

While sitting on the bank of the Mississippi River eating beignets, I recently texted my husband “I could live here.” I’m talking about New Orleans of course, and I really do think it’s a place I could call home. My pants however? They’d probably not survive long in the Crescent...

Bacon Wrapped Guacamole Stuffed Chicken Breasts

Notes from a Messy Kitchen

I have a pet peeve that involves bacon. You’re at the store, and you pick a package up. You look at it and think, “hey, this bacon looks pretty good – look at all that meat!” But then you get home and open the package, only to find the strips have been carefully...
