Gluten-free cupcakes: FINALLY! I’ve been wanting a recipe for gluten-free cupcakes for a while now, but by gluten-free I really mean flourless (or almond flour), since I don’t care to learn the intricacies of gluten-free flour mixing. It seems, well, complicated. One of my favorite gluten-free desserts is this flourless chocolate torte, but I didn’t…

Chocolate Roasted Almond Butter
YOU GUYS! I am REALLY excited today! Please excuse the excessive use of caps lock today — BUT YES I ABSOLUTELY AM YELLING! Yelling out of excitement… not anger. No worries. We’re cool. Why, you might ask, am I excited? Two reasons: This chocolate roasted almond butter is (as Joy the Baker would say) TOTALLY…
Chocolate Mint Chip Cookies
I swear I don’t actually eat only sugar. But this week… it’s really going to look like it. I have a lot of normal recipes to share with you (like grains and veggies), but I also have so many sweet things stocked up that I couldn’t keep these cookies to myself anymore. They are delicious,…
Spiced Molten Chocolate Cakes
I have some seriously awesome friends here in Bozeman. Well, everywhere, actually — but today I’m feeling especially grateful for the Bozemanites. Cheesy-happy post, commence: Yesterday four of my girlfriends here in town took me on a special “Celebrate Mary’s Engagement” day to Yellowstone: it was a phenomenal day! We started with breakfast burritos at…
Flourless Chocolate Torte with Blackberry Coulis
For my FIRST food post exclusively on The Kitchen Paper, I thought I should give you guys something awesome. I mean, all of my recipes are awesome, but this one is EXCELLENT! I’ve made this cake a few times over the years, and it is my go-to gluten-free recipe: I love it! Even if I…
Banana Nut Cookies
Jaaaanuary! January is that time of year when people swear they’re going to do XYZ — exercise more, stop eating so much sugar, get dressed in real clothes everyday, etc. I’m not a New Year’s resolution type o’ gal, I make my decisions on my own time (seriously, other people imposing timelines on me is…
Chocolate Candy Cane Cookies
Remember how I’m supposed to be making this huge transition into working on my own (slash with my Mom!), and how I’m really excited to do it, and how I can’t wait for that time to come? Well… I still can’t wait for that time to come. Which was supposed to be this week. Like…
Brown Butter Cherry Chocolate Chip Skillet Cookie
Monday, Monday. Shouldn’t we be able to sleep in on Monday? They’re tough enough as is, so I vote for an extra hour or two of sleep. We got back from my cousin’s beautiful Midwest wedding late last night, and now I feel like I need a few days to sleep and get back to…
Chocolate Buttercream Frosting
Everybody needs a buddy. A running buddy, biking buddy, shopping buddy, chatting buddy, crying buddy, travel buddy, laughing buddy. Your “go to” person, for each specific activity. You know you two work well together. You know they’ll support you when you need it. You know they won’t let you down. I know I’m grateful to…
Brownie Cheesecake with Chocolate Caramel Ganache
I’m in vacation withdrawal. I know I’ve been home for like… 3 days; however, it’s still lingering over me! California was awesome! I’m daydreaming about working at Stanford, or Condé Nast, or *gasp* GOOGLE. Big dreams, I know. I’ve only ever half considered moving to California (SO many people! Yikes!), but after this last trip……
Green Monster Chocolate Chip Cookies (with avocado!)
Yesterday was a BEAUTIFUL day. It was sunny, warm (mid 50’s!), and definitely felt like spring. Seeing as we still haven’t had a real winter here, I keep expecting that it will come late and every other season will be pushed back as well. Judging by the weather yesterday, perhaps we’ll just skip winter entirely…
S’mores Cookies
You know those days when you just feel really good? Even if things aren’t 100% awesome in every area of your life? I think I’ve been having a lot of those lately. Sometimes things are hard, as they should be in life, but… I’m ok with that. Life wouldn’t be fun without any challenges, right?…
Cream Cheese Brownies with Goat Milk Caramel Swirl
Happy National Cream Cheese Brownie Day! You may or may not have known that today was so special, but if you look here you will see that almost every day of the year has a dedicated food “holiday” associated with it. How freaking cool is that!? My Aunt sent me that link and I immediately…
Almond Flour Chocolate Chip Cookies
I have this bag of almond flour in my cupboard. It’s been sitting there, unopened, for a few months now, with me not really knowing what to use it for. The THOUGHT of almond flour was exciting, clearly, but I had no real plans for it. My live-in athlete has been hounding me for a…
Chocolate Pecan Pie
Clearly, I love pecans. Their rich, buttery flavor is perfect! In the last month I’ve posted pecan cupcakes , cookies, more cookies, and pancakes – so why not follow up with a pie?! I’m a bit picky about my pecan pies: they cannot be too gooey. There is little more disappointing than biting into a…
5 Minute Fudge
It’s almost Christmas. It always surprises me how late the “OMG IT’S CHRISTMAS” feeling hits me – but it’s close enough now that I’m starting to feel it! Luckily I bought all my gifts a few weeks ago – do you have yours? If not… make this fudge! This fudge seriously could not be easier:…
