Sesame Chicken Crunch Salad
This post is sponsored by Crunchmaster. Thank you for supporting the brands who keep The Kitchen Paper running! It happened! We moved! And we unpacked! And now we live in our dream home and life is so so good. Honestly, the last month has felt a bit surreal: our condo sold in 1.5 days (we…
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,…
Watermelon Burrata Salad
This dish might be the most perfect summer dish e.v.e.r. I’ve been making it all summer for potlucks, picnics, snacks, easy lunches — it’s a dish for all occasions! Mostly I’m just 100% addicted to burrata and watermelon both individually and collectively. I know it’s Labor Day and the internet is basically in fall-land now…
Warm Kale, Delicata, Pearl CousCous Salad (+PDX Holiday Brunch!)
Have I mentioned how much I love living in Portland?? Yeah, I know I have like ten bajillion times, and I’m gonna do it again: I LOVE living in Portland. I could go on and on about wonderful food, coffee, scenery, etc. but today: it’s about the wonderful creative women I’ve come to know, work…
Everyday Garlicky Kale
I use a lot of veggies here on The Kitchen Paper. I also ramble on and on about how great they are, how awesome it is to have a Mom with a massive garden, how grateful I am to live in an area with co-ops and organic grocery stores and all things veg-positive. I’m super…
Stone Fruit & Heirloom Tomato Mozzarella Basil Salad
Uuuh yes yes yes yes! Summer in a bowl! CAN YOU TELL I AM EXCITED!? Sorry for yelling. But srsly, this is DEE-LICIOUS. Welcome to part three of the picnic extravaganza! Check out the basil hummus and summer corn quinoa salad if you missed those earlier this week! {Also, let’s give my assistant, Marc, a…
Summer Corn Quinoa Salad
Today we have part TWO of the picnic extravaganza we started on Monday. Woop woop! This summer corn quinoa salad is ridiculously easy to throw together — I actually felt really lame writing the recipe (see below) because literally… throw it all together, and mix. Then eat in massive quantities like you’ll never see corn or…
Simple Breakfast Salad with Poached Egg
I used to be a sweets-for-breakfast kind of person. I LOVED French toast and doughnuts and anything considered a vehicle for maple syrup (which, let’s be honest, is everything). If we went out for breakfast, it was a safe bet that Mary would order something sweet, and definitely not savory. I’m not sure what changed,…
Northwest Kale Salad with Goat Cheese and Hazelnuts
And just like that, I’m 1/125 of the way done with code school! 8/1,000 hours done! AND I AM STILL ALIVE! Clearly. Also, smiling! Happy! Not wanting to die! I mention those in case you thought I might be frowning/unhappy/dead after the first day. I won’t get too nerdy for you here, but suffice it…
Maple Roasted Root Vegetables with Kale & Walnuts
This warm winter meal is full of roasted vegetables flavored with maple syrup and smoked paprika, served on kale for a healthy vegetarian dinner! If you know anyone who lives in Portland (?), you’ve probably heard them whining (or exalting?) the INSANE RAIN this week! It’s been coming down like WHOA, which has been a…
Fried Polenta, Avocado, & Poached Egg Breakfast (plus, KALE!)
I’ve kind of been ignoring the internet. I’ve also kind of been ignoring real life. Where does that leave me? Um, non-existant? Kinda. I spent all of last week moving. MOVING. You guys know my feelings on moving (read: not the warmest). You also know my standpoint on roommates (read: not even close to warm)……
Kale, Delicata, Dill Quinoa Salad with Spicy Almond Butter Dressing
Do you guys remember Marcel the Shell? And more importantly, the SECOND one? For some reason, I was reminded of these brilliant videos last week and have been able to think of nothing besides “treats and snoozin’, snoozin’ and treats” for the last week. So, I re-watched them. AND DISCOVERED THERE IS A THIRD!!! It’s…
Summer Veggie Mung Bean Salad
{You guys! My cookbook, Nut Butters, is being included in a cookbook giveaway at Barn2Door! You can enter HERE!} This salad: all the summer things. ALL THE SUMMER VEG IN THE LAND! Kind of. Plus mung beans. Why mung beans? No real reason. A month ago Whole Foods had a sale on all bulk foods…
Vegan Bowl with Sauerkraut, Pistachios, and Jalapeño Garlic Tahini Sauce
Veg-bowl train: coming in hot! This is another one of those recipes that I could make into the LONGEST TITLE EVERRRR. I guess that’s why I’m sticking with “vegan bowl” as my general “this is healthy and has a $&*@ ton of veggeis in it” name. Beets! Carrots! Kale! Whatever you want! HEALTHY STUFF GUYS,…
Vegan Kale Quinoa Bowl with Peanut Dressing
And sauerkraut! And seaweed! And seeds! And ‘rots! And ‘maters! AND ALL THE THINGS! This is actually what I’ve been eating for the last week, since coming home from Europe, in order to SIGNIFICANTLY RAISE my veggie-consumption. I even told myself I was FORBIDDEN to buy cheese at the grocery store, so I wouldn’t be…
