This post is sponsored by Pacific Foods — a brand I’ve loved and used for many years! Thank you for supporting the brands who keep The Kitchen Paper up and running. Cinnamon rolls are one of those things I rarely make, since it usually means making a huge pan of them. I just can’t handle eating…

Rhubarb Cream Cheese Coffee Cake
Orange Rhubarb Swirl Pound Cake
Oooh baby! It’s been a while since I’ve made a pound cake! I love making/eating pound cake — but somehow I’ve forgotten about it for a while. UNTIL NOW! Welcome back with this beauty: orange rhubarb swirl pound cake. Exact same principle as my strawberry swirl pound cake: fruity puree swirled into rich buttery pound…
Candied Citrus Ricotta Cake
OH HAAAY #CHEESEBABYSHOWER! Some of you might already “know” Sarah of Snixy Kitchen, but if you don’t… go check her out. Today is her virtual baby shower, since her #cheesebabygirl is due in a few weeks! If you know me at all you know 1) I love cheese, and 2) I love babies, so ……
Molasses Scones with Candied Ginger & Pecans
Oh HELLOOOO fall flavors! Are you guys ready for this? Yeah, I AM! One of the best things about moving to Portland (that sentence could end with pretty much ANY true statement about living in Portland…) has been connecting with other people in the food (blogging or otherwise) community. THERE ARE MORE FREAKS LIKE ME!…
Pumpkin Bread
How is it possible I have not yet posted a pumpkin bread recipe on TKP? How is it possible that it’s September? OMG. How is it possible for this bread to be SO DARN PERFECT?! I dunno how, but it totally is perfect. That’s it. That’s really all I have to say. This bread is…
Coconut Zucchini Bread
SO MANY BURGERS! You guys may have noticed an unusual number of burger pictures on my instagram — they’re a result of it being burger week here in Portland! There are a bunch of restaurants participating this year (more than 30!), each of which makes a special $5 burger for burger week. MUST EAT ALL…
Brown Butter Rhubarb Muffins
Oy. Are we ready for a Wednesday brain dump? I HOPE SO because here’s one coming your way. This week is a battle of the conflicted emotions. Not necessarily in a bad way, and certainly not in a dramatic way, but just in a “I need to figure this stuff out” kind of way. Mostly this…
Orange Carrot Cake Bars
Guys. I’m gonna let these bars do most of the talking today — I’m short on words and these bars are NOT short on awesome. So much orange zest! Tangy cream cheese frosting! Crunchy pecans! I’m calling these carrot cake BARS because they’re more dense than a normal carrot cake. Just how I like my…
Strawberry Swirl Pound Cake
Throwback Thursday! This is perfect timing: BERRY SEASON IS FAST APPROACHING! I’ve been stocking up on all sorts of sale items this week at the grocery: cheap strawberries and cheap avocados! My guacamole consumption at the moment is obscene. In a wonderful way. AS IS MY STRAWBERRY SWIRL POUNDCAKE INTAKE! Oh man. I actually need…
Favorite Fudge Brownies
Throwback Thursday! This recipe is from waaaay back when I first started blogging and had no idea what to do with a camera. Every Thursday I’ll be featuring an “old” recipe with a little makeover! These brownies are my “go-to” brownies — I use them as a base for any brownie variations (like these or…
Hot Fudge Pudding Cake
Oh hellooo SnapChat! Are you guys on snapchat? I AM! Ha! I finally bit the bullet and got “thekitchenpaper” on snapchat! Um, follow me, please? I have *no* idea what I’m doing, but it seems every other food blogger decided to get on snapchat last week, so I figured I’ll hop on the trend, too….
Flourless Chocolate Torte
This torte is my go-to dessert for dinner parties. It is so easy to throw together, a total crowd-pleaser, and gluten-free! Last night we had a dinner party of 13 people, so in addition to soup, more soup, bread, salad {like this one}, and lemon bars, I made this! Now, I’ve posted this recipe before….
Whole Wheat Chocolate Zucchini Bread
Is it possible that traveling in the US for two weeks is ten million times more exhausting than traveling in SE Asia for four months? I conclude that YES, it is WAAAAY more exhausting! Fun, yes, but exhausting. We had a whirlwind wedding tour that took us to Seattle, then a redeye to New York…
Pecan Banana Bread
Today is a big day! I made a huge “to-do” (more like “to-cook”) list a few months ago, and was pretty nervous I wouldn’t actually be able to finish it. Yesterday I cooked my final four (!!) recipes on the list, and finished photographing the last one this morning. Woohoo! I’ve definitely had some ups…
Chocolate Almond Flour Cakes for Two
I may or may not currently feel somewhat like death, despite feeling incredibly successful and excited about today! We woke up at 4 am this morning, which is a solid five hours earlier than usual, after less than five hours of sleep… and then spent the morning on airplanes and are now in Missouri! I…
