Wednesday! Halfway through interview week! And I bring you meusli! I don’t have tons to report on the internship/interview front yet: I’m in the middle of my 5 interviews, which are going well and are not nearly as scary as I imagined! I think the last few years of meeting SO many strangers and talking…

Green Enchilada Sauce
My love for all things green runs reaaaaaal deep. Like, REAL deep. Super deep. It’s been my favorite color for at least 22 years now (I remember very consciously deciding, around age 5), and I’m sticking to it. Chile verde! Spinach! Green smoothies! GUAC! They all have my love. Trees! Shrubs! ANYTHING WITH CHLOROPHYL! Yeah,…
Purple Sauerkraut
Soooo, sauerkraut? Yeah, YEAH! Sauerkraut! I’m as surprised as you are that I’m writing about it right now, since up until a week ago I pretty much thought I hated it. I’m sure I’d tried it as a kid — you know the white, limp, salty-as-heck, store-bought stuff? Clearly I’m not a huge fan of…
Strawberry Cashew Milk
Remember the last time I made cashew milk? I’m pretty sure I blathered on about it tasting like drinking pure butter — which may turn some of you away, but to those who stay I LOVE YOU. You know I Love almond milk. I love pecan milk. I’m sure I’d love macadamia milk. But cashew…
Soft Pretzels
Here’s another throwback for you guys! This was one of the very first real yeasty “bread” recipes I ever made, and one of the first ones on this blog! HEYO! I’m such a sucker for soft pretzels… hellooo Auntie Anne’s! This dough recipe can be loaded up with any topping — cinnamon sugar, icing, mustard,…
Pickled Carrot & Daikon {Đồ Chua}
So, we missed a landmark. Just sayin’… This is the 501st post on TKP! 501. Not 500. Oopsies. Who knew I berated you with so many recipes and ramblings? HA! Thank you guys for sticking around (or joining me!). I really appreciate you all! Also, thanks for being patient while I took a break from…
DIY Hot Chocolate Mix
If I had to sum up Cambodia in one phrase, it would be: naked babies. I’m not even kidding, I’ve seen more naked humans (mostly babies and young children, but certainly not all!) in the last three weeks than I think I have in the entire rest of my life. I’m not exaggerating. I’m pretty…
DIY Weddings Magazine Feature
I’m super excited today because our wedding, which was eight months ago yesterday (!!), was featured in the Spring 2014 issue of DIY Weddings Magazine. Woohoo! If you remember from my post about our wedding, we DIYed almost everything — from the decorations to the backdrops to the desserts, and more! I had no clue…
Smoky Jalapeño Ketchup with Sweet Potato Fries
I suppose maybe it’s time to fill you in on our future plans, as I keep getting questions about what’s to come in the next few months. Long story short: anything could happen. You might recall that we had planned to delay our honeymoon to Vietnam until after Derek finishes his degree. That part of…
Homemade Almond Milk
Oh. My. Gosh. Seriously I think I need to go nap for a week because my brain is about to EXPLODE. I decided to do a little website maintenance on Wednesday, as I was feeling productive and ready to take on 2014, which resulted in three days of my site being down and MANY TEARS…
Salted Bourbon Caramels
Merry Christmas Eve, everybody! If you’re of the Christmas-persuasion (or even if you’re not), I hope you’re having a wonderful day and something fun planned for tomorrow! In case you’ve been slacking and need a last minute gift idea, I’ve come to your rescue. Ha! Caramels are a GREAT thing to bring as a gift…
Thin Mint Cookie Butter
I guess husbands can be alright sometimes. Mine came up with this creation, so you can thank him for making me do it! If you’ve been a TKP reader long enough, you may remember Oreo Cookie Butter — one of the very first recipes ever posted on The Kitchen Paper! It seemed ridiculous and totally…
Homemade Cashew Milk
The Thursday before Thanksgiving, the day before we left for our trip to Oregon, I accidentally rented a car for eleven days. Oops! And, AWESOME! I had been toying with the idea of seeing if we could get a cheap car for the week. We were driving to Oregon with a weeks worth of stuff,…

It’s here! You can, officially, order my cookbook! This post will give you a bit of a sneak peak, and show you the various ways you can get your hands on Nut Butters: Twenty Nut Butter Recipes and Creative Ways to Use Them. I’ve been asked a lot why I decided to write about nut…
No Churn Roasted Apricot Ice Cream
Why had I not heard of no churn ice cream until now? Seriously guys, you need to tell me about these things. My life is now 3,509,382 times better. Approximately. Before we get to the ice cream (which is FAB), let’s give you a little update. We moved! Huzzah! My mom came last Thursday, and…
Homemade Pizza Sauce
{have you entered to win a KitchenAid Mixer yet? Today is THE LAST DAY to enter!!} Ooh Monday, how you sneak up on me! I thought Saturday was Sunday, then Sunday felt like Saturday, and now Monday is coming out of nowhere! Can we just do this weekend again? I’m a big fan of the…
