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…

White Chocolate Candy Cane Cashew Butter
While this nut butter isn’t in my Nut Butters cookbook, you should definitely check out the book if you haven’t already! It has twenty creative nut butter recipes, PLUS twenty ways to use them (more than just as a dip!). Perhaps I’ll include this recipe in the next edition! It is COLD COLD COLD here…
Mexican Hot Chocolate Pudding
Oh man. My brain is EVERYWHERE this morning — bear with me! {Also, must googled if it was “bear” or “bare” — it is bear. “Bare” would be an invitation to undress with me, which is just simply not going to happen}. Right now I’m lying in bed, looking out the window at SERIOUS SNOWFALL!…
Pecan Brown Butter Brownies {Gluten Free}
Thanksgiving is sneaking up on me. I thought, mistakenly, that there was another week before Thanksgiving week… there isn’t. All of a sudden we’re rapidly approaching a VACATION! HALLELUJAH. I have no real reason to feel this way, but I’m totally ready for a break. I’m excited to go home (!!) and see my family…
Flourless Chocolate Cardamom Torte
I told you I was on a cardamom kick. How have I *just* discovered how brilliant this spice is!? Seriously: I want to put it in e.v.e.r.y.t.h.i.n.g. This cake has been floating around pinterest for a while and immediately grabbed my attention. I know I love flourless chocolate tortes, and usually make them as my…
Brown Butter Pumpkin Chocolate Chunk Bars
Well, that’s a mouthful! Literally. You’re going to be shoving these in five at a time, so don’t expect to get much chatting done if you take these to your afternoon tea. Not gonna happen! This weekend was a last minute stay-at-home weekend, mostly because I had a meltdown about all the stuff I had…
Oat Flour Brownies (Gluten Free)
If you are looking for other gluten free desert recipes take a look at my 15 Easy Gluten-Free Dessert Recipes post! The universe must have really been listening to me on Wednesday, because it delivered some serious fall weather AND I LOVE IT. Big thunder storms, cooler temperatures — enough so that I actually got out…
Soft Peanut Butter Chocolate Chunk Cookies
This post is really about love. I’m getting married in less than 3 weeks (!!) and am thus deeply exploring all things LOVE. Including tablecloths, napkins, seating charts, sound systems, and flower arrangements. We spent some time working on our vows this weekend, and let me tell you: what a great way to define and…
No-Churn Chocolate Chocolate Chip Cookie Dough Ice Cream
That’s a mouthful, huh? Sometime I feel like I decipher recipe titles (or create them) in a similar manner to the way my 7th grade self approached algebra problems: in a very specific order. Anyone remember PEMDAS? Or maybe you were more into FOIL? OK enough nerdiness for one recipe: onto the good stuff! This…
Mint Brownie Sandwich Cookies
If you follow my instagram, you know we’re in the wilds of Alaska right now! Yes, this post was pre-written (whaaa?!). Aah the wonders of modern technology — I can leave you for weeks and not miss a beat! Have I mentioned how much I love food blogging? Pretty much the best job ever. EVER….
Mini Caprese Tarts
{Have you entered to win a KitchenAid mixer yet? I’m giving one away here!} Or as Derek calls them, Tomato Cookies. Sometimes I really have a hard time naming recipes (remember the turtle cups?) — this is one of those times. They’re not really tarts, but not dessert cookies. Caprese has mozzarella, these don’t….
Lime Cake Doughnuts with Chocolate Glaze
Two ridiculously decadent recipes in a row? YES. You are welcome, again. I’ve tried quite a few new things this year, in the culinary sense. Pho (faux pho! Ha! Thanks Lynn!), lemon bars, cheez-its — but I have been hankering to make doughnuts for a LONG time now. I’ve considered, many times, buying a doughnut…
Macadamia Mocha Brownies
Oh, you’re welcome! In advance, I mean. You’re welcome for these brownies. #sodelicious It’s Friday, you’re psyched for the weekend, you’ve (hopefully) had an AWESOME week, you (hopefully) have AWESOME plans for the weekend: life is great, right? Right. But what would make it even better? Well, these brownies. Obviously. (I almost just wrote “obvi”…
Chocolate Strawberry Shortcake
I feel like there is an unspoken rule that, if you’re having guests over for dinner, you shouldn’t try anything new. You’re not supposed to make an unknown entity, just in case it doesn’t actually live up to your expectations. Generally, I like to ignore this rule. Generally, that works out quite well. Case in…
Caramel Pecan Chocolate Brownies
First things first, I had a really hard time naming this recipe. As you can see, I went with the (hopefully) most straightforward title possible. Other possibilities included: turtle cups, brownies filled with caramel and pecans, caramel and pecan filled brownies, caramel nut cups, the most insanely delicious dessert I’ve made in a while —…
