I love cornbread and don’t make it nearly enough. I have a go-to recipe (that I should actually elevate to My Favourite status here), and I tried Alison Roman’s version at some point during the pandemic. Both of those recipes are the style that I like: plain. Claire’s recipe for Loaded Cornbread is pretty much......
I wasn’t a fan of Potato Salad for most of my life. My Mom made hers with potatoes, hard-boiled eggs and celery, all tossed in Miracle Whip. It led to a lifelong aversion to hard-boiled eggs (still going strong!) and a severe distrust of mayo in all forms, because I never knew the difference between......
Comfort food and nostalgia soaked recipes are reigning supreme over here these days (just wait until 5-cup Salad hits Planet Byn!). I guess you wouldn’t normally think of a raw broccoli salad as comfort food, but it is for me. This is one of my favourite recipes that my friend Katy makes (you might remember......
It’s hard enough to return to work post-holiday vacation bliss, but do we really need a POLAR VORTEX to make things more difficult? It was -40 here yesterday, which makes it just a little bit harder to deal with life, especially under 526 layers of clothes (tights, long janes, yoga pants, hoodie, puffy coat, scarf,......
  Taking a look back in my archives it seems like I only contribute dessert to Thanksgiving dinner, so I’m making sure to blog about the sides I brought this year, because they were AMAZING. The thing with my family is that they just want the regulars around the table, and are sometimes suspicious when......
  I have complicated feelings towards brunch, and I believe they date back to 1998-2002 in Waterloo, Ontario and a little joint called Mel’s Diner. Mel’s was the ideal place to feed your hangover on Sunday morning and for $2.99 you got a greasy plate of bacon or sausage, toast, eggs and homefries (or Mel’s......
Obviously this Bacon Mission was a mission in two parts for me, as I had to try to incorporate it into some form of baked good. I’ve made Peanut Butter Bacon Cookies twice in the past without success. For the first batch I roasted the bacon in the oven, and didn’t like how it was......
Our Gastropost Mission this week started as a joke on Facebook, after they asked us to guess the next ______ vs. ______ Mission. Someone guessed Bacon vs. Everything Else, and they loved it so much it became the Mission for the week. I love it! The vs. Missions are my favourite, and I love a......
It’s been well documented that I love awards shows over here on Planet Byn, and that I consider the Golden Globes to be the Superbowl of award season. Of course, delicious eats are in order to watch the red carpet and ponder the reasons why Jessica Biel decided to wear her great-great-great-great grandmother’s wedding dress....
Every once in a while I like to bust out my waffle iron for a lazy Sunday morning treat. I wanted a waffle maker for the longest time, and then my Mom’s best friend gave me one for Christmas! Amazing! It’s been a bit of trial and error to find a good recipe, and this......
