As stated numerous times here, I’m just not a fan of (most) fruit desserts – I don’t like tart/creamy things (i.e. Lemon Meringue Pie, Key Lime Pie) and I don’t like HOT FRUIT! But on Thanksgiving, you just have to give the people what they want, and the people want apple pie. This recipe popped......
I slowly continued to recover from COVID this month and got my appetite back in time for lots of tasty treats, including the last trip to my favourite bakery in the GTA: I met up with my friends for a lovely Labour Day weekend night out that began and ended at Seoulshakers for cocktails, with......
For reasons that can’t be explained, every time I’ve gone to Trader Joe’s/Target since the borders re-opened in 2022, I’ve added MULTIPLE bags of freeze-dried fruit to my cart. I have no idea why I keep doing this and it needs to stop. I used one bag last summer to make these Neapolitan Cookies, and......
This was a bit of a weird August for me; I wasn’t living at home for the whole month, until I was, in a very PTSD way. Allow me to explain: I was at Lydia’s for the first week of August doing my annual housesitting/catsitting duties, where of course I ordered from her (and now......
Does this here ol’ blog really need another S’mores recipe? Over the years I think I’ve made every format of S’mores treat on the internet: cupcakes, cookies, squares, pudding, pie and probably more. Alas, I keep seeing these squares on Pinch of Yum and wanted to make them for Kristine’s and my pool day on......
I love summertime and this month was filled with so many adventures, good eats, concerts and even a lot of cooking. Here’s the breakdown: The month kicked off with a pre-Beyonce hype dinner a few days before the concert with my friends from work who were also going. We went to Soos on Ossington which......
Last November, I was out for drinks with my co-workers/friends and after a couple of glasses of prosecco, my friend Mel asked me to make her wedding cake and I said YES. Whoops. I SWORE after last time I was out of the wedding cake game, but a few things made me agree: Mel is......
I guess if I’m posting a savoury recipe here, and a salad at that, you know it’s really good. I forget about this salad throughout the year and then remember it in the summer when it’s too hot and I don’t want to cook, but I still want to eat something quick and tasty. Bonus......
It was quiet here this month because while I baked a lot, nothing was new or needed a dedicated blog post! Instead I’ll just share pictures of a couple cakes below because they were both so cute! I should have more to share next month though: I kicked off the month with a Pride Bake......
This May was quite possibly, the most fun month I’ve had since the pre-pandemic days, but because of that there wasn’t too much cooking happening at home! Here’s what was going on: After getting back from NYC, I met up with Weedy, Heini and Krishna at the new Piano Piano location on Colborne Street (which......
