I’m very emotionally invested in the birthdays of my co-workers. If I know it’s your birthday, and you’re in the office, there will be treats on your special day. I don’t care if you won’t tell me the actual day (I celebrate birthmonths too), or don’t want to disclose your age (irrelevant to birthday treats)......
I was a little nervous about this week’s recipe.  A few weeks ago Matt posted an interview with one of the recipe developers he and Renato work with for their cookbooks, and she specifically name checked these cookies as the most difficult recipe she has developed for them. Uh oh. It turns out they weren’t......
  I never order Crème Brûlée when I’m out, but I know people who must have it if they see it on a menu. Sure, I like it, but it’s not something I ever crave, or feel the need to make at home. Of course, for this week’s Baked Sunday Morning, I made an exception. I......
Don’t get too excited. Yes, I am actually posting a holiday* recipe BEFORE said holiday, which never happens, but there’s something you should know. The can of Guinness and cute little bottle of Baileys needed for this cake were purchased approximately 358 days ago, when I thought it might be a good idea to make......
It’s so much fun to hang out with other food bloggers: they just get it. These are the people who understand the importance of two new flavours of Oreos. Who hate salad in a bag as much as I do. They know the feeling of making a co-worker’s eyes glaze over after you’ve been talking......
Gastropost asked us a tough question this week: Vanilla or Chocolate? I think it’s an easy answer. Do you ever find yourself with an intense craving for vanilla? No, I don’t think so. And that is why I’m on Team Chocolate. You’ll never find me taking shots of vanilla extract out of the bottle, but......
When I see a Baked layer cake on our Baked Sunday Morning Schedule, the first thing that crosses my mind is if I have a free day to make it. There’s usually three cake layers involved, a cooked frosting, and a few other elements that require some time (see: making two batches of salted caramel......
Last week one of my new friends from work threw a rager to kick off the long weekend right! Ha, not really a rager but it was a super fun night. Obviously I had to bring treats to dazzle everyone, and also to make sure I would be invited to any and all future parties.......
Mom’s choice for her Mother’s Day dinner this year was “some type of chicken casserole type thing and whatever else you think would be good”. Isn’t that the best, most easygoing dinner guest? Love it. I translated her request into the following menu: Chicken, Broccoli & Rice Casserole (this recipe from Annie’s Eats with white......
Who is Aunt Sassy, you ask? And what does she have to do with a triple-layer pistachio cake with honey-vanilla frosting? I have no idea, as the Baked Boys don’t divulge the answer to this mystery in the book. This is a time-consuming baking project, which made it perfect for the long Easter weekend last......
