It’s throwback Thursday! Every Thursday I’m going to be re-making, and re-photographing, a recipe I posted waaay early in this blog’s life. It’s time to have better pictures for some of my favorites! I originally posted these cookies three years ago, and they’re STILL my go-to cookie for every occasion. I make them for ski…
Chocolate
Banana Date Carob Smoothie
GUESS WHAT DAY IT IS!? I probably don’t even have to tell you. You’re probably so excited already! I know it’s been a while, but it’s MOOTHIE MONDAY! Wooop! In all honesty, there has been a lack of moothie mondays because my blender broke! Boo! It’s been a very Bali experience: the connection between the…
Dark Chocolate Chunk Brownies
Before we came home from Cambodia we had two foods we were looking forward to at home: brownies and Mexican food. We’re easy to please! My mom had brownies waiting for us upon arrival, and in the two weeks following our return I think I had Mexican food for 90% of our meals out (which…
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…
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…
Chocolate Chip Pretzel Cookies
As I mentioned yesterday, we’ve been pretty MIA for the last week and a half. I’m actually pretty surprised that this is the first time in our four months of travel that we’ve really gone off the grid for any lengthy amount of time! In Vietnam I had a data plan so even if we…
Classic Seven-Layer Bars
Don’t forget that the pre-order for Pinterest for Food Bloggers eBook is going on right now! We’ve just finished our first full can of sweetened-condensed milk, here in Vietnam. As is the norm here, I have it in my coffee every morning! Yeah, I feel like I’m totally indulging EVERY morning. It’s pretty great! At…
Chocolate Chili Cookies
I’ve still yet to make anything sweet in our kitchen! I’m kind of in shock, but also mostly just hot and lazy and not willing to go to the effort of finding everything I need! I know, I know. I have no excuse — the place we found on Wednesday (which I told you about!)…
Orange Cookie Bars with Chocolate Ganache
YOU GUYS! I AM LITERALLY ON MY WAY TO VIETNAM! Almost. I’m in the Bozeman (INTERNATIONAL!) Airport! IT’S ACTUALLY HAPPENING. So many caps. Sorry/not sorry. This week has, thankfully, not been quite as hectic as I anticipated! We did a great job of packing this weekend, and getting rid of everything from clothes to furniture…
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…
Chocolate Pecan Torte (Gluten Free)
With less than two months before blast-off, we’re finally starting to think (seriously) about the logistics of this move. We’re getting rid of anything we no longer need, use, or want, but then are putting the rest of our stuff in storage here in Bozeman. The one big thing we needed to take care of:…
Classic Soft Chocolate Chip Cookies
Happy Monday! Hopefully that statement rings true, and not annoying, in your ears! These days, I actually really enjoy Mondays. I feel productive! I’ve been using my weekends, when I’m not out exploring Montana (which I am falling more and more in love with), to organize. I’m becoming a list-maker. OMG. I am not a…
Rocky Road Brownies
You all know that I am a bit of a data freak. When it comes to running, or blogging, I like numbers. I love Google Analytics, and often amuse myself by looking through the list of what people have searched for, resulting in their arrival at The Kitchen Paper. Sometimes I see, with Google Analytics…
Chocolate Coconut Milk Carrot Cake Cupcakes
Holy long title, right? Sorry ’bout it. I just couldn’t ignore the multi-faceted AWESOME of these cupcakes! They seriously are amazing. And… dairy free! If you should care about such things. I had a birthday yesterday. I’m not a huge birthday-celebrator, but I have taken this particular birthday as a kind of “new year” marker….
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…
