Slow Cooker Chipotle Pork Chili
This post is sponsored by Crunchmaster. Thank you for supporting the brands who keep The Kitchen Paper running! Oooh boy! Slow cooker chipotle pork chili! What’s not to like about this? It’s made in a slow cooker (win). It’s full of tasty chipotle smokiness (win). There’s a bunch of veg (win). It takes minimal effort…
Super Greens Frittata
Happy New Year! I hope you all had a great end to 2017 — ideally with some time off relaxing, with family or friends, outside, or just doing something that makes you happy. I spent the last week in Palm Springs with family (did you see all those palm trees!?), and it was honestly amazing. I…
Dill Roasted Cauliflower Soup
This post is sponsored by Pacific Foods, a brand I’ve loved and used for many years! Thank you for supporting the brands that keep The Kitchen Paper up and running!

Chimichurri Steak Kale Salad
This year has two themes for me, food-wise: peanut sauce and chimichurri. They’re both so addicting and versatile! I shared a bowl with peanut sauce last week, so I guess this week we’ll get to chimichurri! This salad is pretty straightforward — veggies, crunch, sweet fruit, and STEAK! Chimichurri serves as a great topping for steak,…
Thai Fish Stick Noodle Bowls
This post is sponsored by Dr. Praeger’s. Thank you for supporting the brands who keep The Kitchen Paper alive! I’ve been eating a lot of noodle bowls. Or, as Marc and I call them, noodley bowls. I figured google might not be as into “noodley bowls” though, so here we are. NOODLE BOWLS. I posted…
Sprouted Lentil Breakfast Bowl
This post is sponsored by Lentils.org. Thanks for supporting those who keep The Kitchen Paper up and running! I have a new obsession: sprouting grains. I can’t stop! We’ll dive into that in a minute, but first let’s just talk about this bowl. Sprouted lentils (did you even know you could do that?!), which require…
Lemongrass Chicken Kale Meatballs
I’m back to work today, after spending the last five days in Colorado! We flew out last week for a dear friend’s wedding in Salida, which is the neighboring town to Buena Vista, where I lived each summer and one winter for about ten years. It was so much fun to visit old friends and…
Vanilla Matcha Cashew Milk
We’re in the final stretch! Literally: 3 more days (including today) of Whole30 and then we EAT ALL THE THINGS! I’m mostly being dramatic, since we haven’t really struggled that much with cravings in the last month — but we are excited to eat some pizza and burgers and tacos and normal “let’s go hang…
Coconut Cranberry Overnight Oats
Happy New Year, everybody! I hope you closed out 2016 with a bang, and welcomed 2017 with optimism!

This year is off to a darn good start — we’re mostly unpacked and settled into…
Roasted Chili Tomato Soup
Happy Monday!! Welcome back from (hopefully) a lovely long-weekend! TELL ME ABOUT ERRTHING YOU ATE! We ate the traditional stuff — turkey, potatoes, gravy, green beans, etc. AND ALSO my brother smoked a turkey (totes tasty), and then tons of ribs/pork shoulder the next day. Uuum YUM. If you’ve been a reader long enough, you…
Butternut Squash Sweet Potato Bisque with Buttered Chanterelles
I had no intention of getting political, or even soap-boxy in any real way, on this blog. Maybe it’s because this election is especially charged, or maybe it’s because I’ve done a ridiculous amount of self-study in the past two years, or maybe I’m just having a grouchy moment: but I’m gonna get a little…
Warm Cocoa Chocolate Pudding with Smoked Paprika Candied Pecans
There are quite a few distressing things popping up on Facebook and Twitter these days — which I, for the most part, ignore. I read the New York Times every day, so I get my news from sources other than social media, but there are some things I definitely am glad to learn from social…
