I wrote last week about how I wasn’t finding Ontario peaches up to their normal juicy, delicious standards this summer, but I still had one more thing I wanted to make with them. This galette was the perfect way to coax out their sweetness, mixing them with honey and a little bit of bourbon, all......

I already have an Oatmeal Chocolate Chip Cookie recipe that I love, but I was still looking forward to trying the Baked Occasions version this week. This is a pretty standard cookie recipe, with a few exceptions: Instead of adding the rolled oats whole, you grind the majority of them up in a food processor first......

The collection of rhubarb based cocktails here on Planet Byn is getting quite extensive, and I love it. We’ve made two simple syrups to stir into cocktails, infused vodka with strawberries and rhubarb, made a margarita with a jam base, and last summer a delicious mojito. I had this mint julep recipe bookmarked since last......

The Kentucky Derby has pretty much zero significance in my life. I think I watched it once, but it didn’t involve a big floppy hat or a mint julep which, in my opinion, are the two most appealing parts of this holiday. For Baked Sunday Mornings this week, the Baked Boys are running with the bourbon......

This is it! Our last recipe from Baked Elements! I only joined in on this book about a year ago, but because of the expedited baking schedule of the last five months, have been able to make about half of the recipes. I’ll do a little recap below of my favourite recipes from the book,......

Well, I thought we’d go out with a bang before it’s all Apples, Pumpkins and Pears* around here!  Since I started a new job right in the middle of the summer, it kind of upset my flow in the kitchen, and feel like I didn’t get to make as many pies, crumbles, popsicles and ice......

Summer has arrived in all it’s hot, humid, sweaty glory. After complaining all winter about the polar vortex, I have vowed to embrace this summer, and any time where I start to complain about something heat related, I flash back to every freaking layer of clothing I had to put on back in January, and......

I was pretty excited to make this milkshake, as I thought it would be a nice break from some of the more time-consuming recipes we’ve made over the last few weeks (i.e. Bananas Cake, Turtle Thumbprint Cookies) for Baked Sunday Mornings. What could possibly go wrong with a milkshake? Well, it turns out the milkshake......

This week’s Baked Sunday Morning recipe is a Chocolate Whiskey Tart from the Booze section of Baked Elements. Some of the recipes in this chapter call for whiskey and some use bourbon, which let me to the following question: wtf is the difference? I did some google research, and my conclusion can basically be summed......

Because I don’t have enough cookies to bake in December, this year I decided to do The Great Food Blogger Cookie Swap, thanks to some encouragement from my blogging friends Meg and Heather. The concept is simple: sign up, receive three names and addresses, bake three dozen of the same cookies, and ship out a......
