I truly thought it would be a rhubarb-less year here on Planet Byn. Last year, without any new inspiration, I re-made a couple of my favourite recipes from the archives: Lemon Rhubarb Bundt Cake and Strawberry Rhubarb Tart with Brown Butter Crumble. So I thought I might just skip the whole thing this year, but......

Even though I’ve had Baked: New Frontiers in Baking for about 10 years, I’ve never even thought about making these Honeycomb Bars. Something about all those almonds and dried cherries just never appealed to me. But that’s the fun of Baked Sunday Mornings! Not only making things you’ve been meaning to try forever, but giving......

We had a little cookie exchange at work last week, which is obviously one of my joys in life. I was a little baked out after Champagne & Cookies, but pulled it together enough to make a batch of Chai Chocolate Chip Cookies. The day of our exchange, a few people bailed, so it ended......

It’s been a minute since I’ve made anything with cherries – fresh cherries that is, not that faux cherry chip goodness. I normally just like to eat baskets of them during the short stone fruit season, but Tracy Shutterbean posted these Cherry Pie Crumble Bars on her Instagram and I though I’d given them a try.......

When I sat down to write this post about my friend Francis’ 1st birthday party, I realized I’ve documented all the major events leading up to this milestone: his parents’ engagement party, his mom’s wedding shower, and of course his baby shower! The theme for Francis’ party was Under the Sea, based on his love......

Of all the baking I’ve done with rhubarb over the years, one of the things I’ve never paired it with is chocolate, and I wasn’t about to start now. I just don’t feel like that’s a good match AT ALL, which is why I swapped out the brownie layer of these squares for a blondie.......

Every year when Winter seems to be dragging on forever, I start researching rhubarb recipes, so I’m ready to go when Spring finally arrives. So when I got a text from my friend Erin one weekend at the end of May asking if I wanted any rhubarb from her garden, I automatically knew what my first......

I didn’t think I needed to start off this post with a description of what a Cookie Exchange is, but evidently I do, since I had to explain it to about six of my co-workers this week. So before we get into the details, a brief lesson: a Cookie Exchange is a gathering/party where each person in......

My friend Kristine’s asked me to make some sweets for her sister’s baby shower back in March, and I believe I responded “it is my joy in life to put together a treat table”. She knew she wanted Dolly’s Doughnut, plus two dozen vanilla cupcakes, and then we looked through some of my cookbooks and......

I feel like you often hear that it’s hard to make friends as an adult. I haven’t really found this to be the case, but I work in a huge company and have switched departments twice in the past three years, so have had the chance to meet a ton of new people. While it’s......
