Khloe Kardashian Is Going to Break Pinterest With Her Kitchen Organization Technique

Khloe Kardashian is no one hit wonder. Just this year she has released a GF socializing app, shared the best parts of her workout routine and even let us get a peek at her fab fitness closet. But did you know this Kardashian sister also has home decor secrets up her sleeve? She showed off her homemaking skills in a recent video on her just-launched site (yep, Kim, Kylie, Kendall and Kourtney weren’t the only ones to get their own URLs this week) by revealing her unique cookie jar-filling routine that’s so cute it jus might break Pinterest.

She shared that after she posted an Instagram of a gorgeous floral arrangement, people kept commenting and asking about the cookie jar in the background, so she figured she’d share her secret because she knows we all want a kitchen as impressive as hers ;)

In the vid, Khloe swears this technique only takes 5 to 10 minutes and that she does it once a month because “like you pay your rent you’re gonna redo your cookie jars,” plus, it keeps the cookie stash fresh. To get your own cookie jar to become gorgeously stacked and lookin’ like a statement piece in your kitchen, all you’ve gotta do, according to Khlomoney, is get a two gallon glass jar, grab your cookies of choice (her faves are Double Stuffed Oreos) and stack away by starting at the edge and working your way around and up. Pro tip c/o the future soon-to-be author, don’t place any cookies on the inside of the rings (except for the base layer), as that’s a waste of cookies ;)

She also swears she doesn’t replace cookies when someone eats one because she’s not “crazy, just organized.” Now get to stacking those cookies in the jar!

Do you stack the cookies in your cookie jar like Khloe does? Let us know your techniques in the comments.

It's 2024; changing up Thanksgiving staple dishes is totally cool. It's almost time to serve stuffing cups and mashed cauliflower puree, but do you dare go beyond the classic pumpkin or apple pie? The answer is yes. There are so many new ways to incorporate your favorite Thanksgiving ingredients that you might as well try them all! (Well, as many as you can anyway).

You can always opt for new takes on apple crisp, unique pecan recipes, and pumpkin pie alternatives. Or, if you'd rather skip the pies altogether, try something completely new. Here are some of the best Thanksgiving desserts that break the mold and taste delicious while doing so.

Einkorn Pumpkin Chocolate Chip Cookies

Calico + Twine

These aren't your average cookies. Not only are they packed with pumpkin flavor, but they're fluffy like cake instead of dense like other chocolate chip cookie recipes. One thing you'll want to note is that this recipe is specified for Einkorn flour (which hasn't been hybridized, meaning it's full of health benefits and flavor), so if you use another kind, you'll want to follow Kaetlyn's instructions on ratios.

Pumpkin Pie Brownies 

The Cookie Rookie

Boxed brownie mix (which is already a good Thanksgiving dessert) gets a gooey upgrade when layered with pumpkin, cream cheese, and warming spices.

Sure, we all love the idea of a roasted turkey on Thanksgiving, but IRL, they’re usually overcooked, bland, and in need of a good dose of gravy to make up for their lackluster flavor. This year, think outside of the box and treat your friends and family to a stellar meal that will awaken their tastebuds! You’ve DIYed your own pie stand, you’ve created the perfect tablescape, and you’ve even worked extra hard on your place settings. You might as well make one of these main course dishes focused on Thanksgiving proteins (including some veggie options!) that are just as impressive as your decor.
