Hellloo from the other siiiiiiiiiide! Anyone else? If you’re my neighbor, you’re altogether WAY too familiar with this song since I’ve been belting it out at 100% volume for the last three days straight. It’s a minor issue. I can’t stop! I don’t even particularly care for the song/identify with the sentiments, but I LOVE…

Nori Rice Krispie Treats
I think this might go in the running for “weirdest recipe posted on TKP” — a list which includes the mysteriously popular oreo cookie butter and… and… and I’m actually not sure what else I’d put on that list. Most of the stuff I’ve posted I’m 100% confident about! That’s not to say I’m not…
Rhubarb Grapefruit Custard Pie
When is the last time I made pie? Seriously, I can’t remember. I feel like I used to make pie ALL THE TIME, but honestly: I think it’s been nearly two years — maybe even since Thanksgiving two years ago! Living in Asia didn’t inspire any pie-baking, nor did the hot hot summer here in…
Maple Coconut Milk Blueberry Popsicles
Ummm I think I’d better share these puppies before summer is really REALLY over… They’re too good to keep until next summer! This weekend brought us some much-appreciated rain, and cooler weather, in Portland. Hallelujah! I am so SO SO ready for fall (reasons number one two and three), and now I’m convinced it’ll actually…
Chocolate Crackle Cookies
Throwback Thursday! Here’s a recipe I posted about a month after I started blogging, way back in the dark ages. It was time to get rid of the cringe-worthy yellow pictures, and replace them with slightly better, white-balanced images! Ha! Nevermind that these remind me of Christmas — they’re great anytime you want a chocolate…
Ginger Cardamom Rhubarb Compote
Time for a little love note! I’m feeling overwhelmingly grateful for you guys today — which is maybe a bit odd, since I haven’t met most of you… but here it goes: Thanks for being here. Thanks for leaving me comments that literally make me laugh out loud, and for sending me kind words when…
Salted Chocolate Chunk Oat Flour Cookies {Gluten-Free}
Oat flour cookies! YEAH! Get on board, errbody! These are gluten-free, without all sorts of weird gums and xums and powders and shtuff. You know what I mean? Yeah. Good old OATS blended up and put into cooooookies. I said that like “cooooookie crisp!” Again, you know what I mean? Roll with it. I’m coming…
Mixed Berry Croissant Pudding with Whiskey Butter Sauce
Only one day left on the trail! We’ve been hiking for five days now, and finish on the West coast of England tomorrow, after hiking through sheep field after sheep field and cow pasture after cow pasture and going through kissing gate after kissing gate — I feel like I have a pretty solid grasp…
Chipotle Adobo Chocolate Pecan Ice Cream
I can’t wait ANY LONGER to share this recipe with you guys! I made it a few weeks ago and it’s on my schedule to share later in July but it is SO FREAKING AMAZING I just have to get it out there! Stat. NOW! So here we are. Also, here we are IN ENGLAND!…
Chocolate Almond Espresso Shortbread Cookies
Um, good morning! K maybe afternoon for some of you (heeeey East coast!). Happy FRIDAY! Friyay! WEEKEND! Who else is excited?? I most certainly am. I also just ordered this bangin’ t-shirt which perfectly encapsulates all of my life feelings/goals/realities. THE BEST! You know what also encapsulates all of my life feelings/goals/realities? THESE COOKIES. Almonds…
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 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…
Salted Chocolate Oat Fudge
This right here is #1 reason I’m loving life at the moment. I mean, there are a million wonderful things to love (great weather, great friends, fun outings, upcoming trips, etc.) HOWEVER: This salted chocolate oat fudge (with pecans!) is hands down the most addictive thing I’ve made in recent history. AND I SWEAR TO…
Raspberry Rhubarb Crisp
Welcome back to my absolute favorite rhubarb flavor combinations E.V.E.R. Raspberry + rhubarb = dreams coming true. I’m actually seriously passionate about this: BEST FLAVOR COMBO EVER. BEST USE OF HYPERBOLE EVER. Heeeeeeyaaah! {Note to self: cut down on coffee} This crisp may appear to be one little tiny serving, but I assure you it’s…
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…
Easy Chocolate Pudding
Thank you all so much for the overwhelming outpouring of love and support after the news in yesterday’s post. I woke up yesterday in my new apartment — living alone for the first time ever in my life — to find so many comments and emails and facebook messages and tweets full of encouragement and…
