Maple Syrup Cinnamon Rolls
I’m having a serious maple moment. As in, I frequently find myself thinking “What would this be like with maple syrup on it?” or “what would this taste like if I swapped ___ for maple syrup?” or “hey, nobody is here to judge me, I’m gonna drink that maple syrup straight from the bottle!” ……
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…
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….
Apple Pecan Cinnamon Rolls
Yeaaah Portland!! Can you tell I’m excited to be home? A little bit? If you follow my instagram, you’ve probably noticed we aren’t in Montana anymore. West coast best coast! Now that we’re here at my Mama’s house, I’m seriously considering making these cinnamon rolls again. I made them a few weeks ago because, just…
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….
Raspberry Cake Doughnuts with Raspberry Glaze
Apparently today is National Doughnut Day! How fitting! I’ve been hankering to make these all week, and hearing about this “holiday” gave me the perfect excuse to do it. Did you know that this isn’t just an arbitrary “food holiday” like “National Blueberry Muffin Day” but rather has some actual historical background? Even better. Not…
Berry Buttercream Frosting
So, I realize I’ve been completely MIA with absolutely zero explanation for the past week. Oops. I have no real excuse for skipping out on you — I had posts planned, photographed, etc. and then just got distracted in preparation for a killer ski weekend in Big Sky! My bad. In my defense, I did…
Best Vanilla Bean Cupcakes with Chocolate Buttercream
Lately, my imagination has been going BONKERS. Seriously, I’m having insane dreams at night, and daydreaming more than ever (which is actually saying a lot) about all sorts of may-happen-in-the-near-future kinds of things. Honestly? It’s really, really fun. Derek and I have been doing some hilarious, and productive, brainstorming lately. Although I can’t quite share…
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…
Soft Sugar Cookies (Lofthouse Style)
Everybody has a guilty pleasure food. I’m sure of it. How could you NOT have one? Guilty pleasures are, to me, the foods you know you shouldn’t buy/make/eat — but you LOVE them. And every once in a while you give in. Some of these might be considered guilty pleasures for health reasons, but I…
Pumpkin Spice Layer Cake with Caramel Cream Cheese Frosting
It’s still pumpkin season, right? Even if it isn’t, I can’t wait a year to post this cake because it was too delicious. I’m not one for bragging, but somehow I need to convey to you how awesome this cake was! No joke, it was fantastic. The pumpkin flavor is subtle, leaving the cake a…
Brown Sugar-Pecan Cupcakes with Caramel Frosting
Thanksgiving is almost here! I’m getting excited to head home to Oregon this week, which will include baking a lot of pumpkin or pecan filled recipes! I spent this weekend learning to skate ski (I’m pretty much a pro now, look out for me in the next winter olympics), attempting (multiple times) to make ravioli…
