In the battle for top stone fruit of my heart, peaches just win out over cherries. But the thing with fresh cherries is that I just don’t like to bake with them. This is mainly because there aren’t many left to use after I eat them all as a snack, but also due to a pre-blog......
So I dropped the ball on that whole PEACH WEEK thing as promised last Monday, but I promise I’ll have those recipes up while there’s still a few more weeks to capitalize on fresh peaches. We have to pause for a moment though, because I have something so exciting to share! Here’s my niece Charlotte’s 5th Birthday......
I feel like Kramer right now with his Mackinaw Peaches: Jerry, this is a miracle of nature that exists for a brief period! It’s like the aurora borealis! He’s right, because there’s really only a few more weeks to take advantage of amazing local peaches. I’ve had a huge basket on my counter for the last few......
Last week’s Gastropost Mission was all about a Toronto Taco Takeover. You guys know I am sort of obsessed with homemade tortillas, weird taco fillings, and making large portions of delicious shredded things in my slowcooker, but instead of making tacos at home, I decided to venture out. This was influenced by a variety of......
When I need to reset a little bit, and try to get my eating in check (like say, after a full day of eating sugar), the first blog I go to for ideas is Oh She Glows. The recipes on Angela’s blog are all vegan, and I swear you feel healthier just reading them. I have a small......
It’s been just over a year since my friend Barry left my old department, and moved to a new company. In that year, without any other changes to his fitness regime or eating habits, he’s lost 10 lbs. I’ll give that a moment to sink in. This means that without regular access to the treats......
Let’s recap: cupcakes, macarons, pie, donuts. What’s missing? Ice Cream. I’ve never really been one of those people who needs to have ice cream in the freezer at all times, but obviously I can appreciate a good scoop. Ed’s Real Scoop is blogTO’s #1-rated ice cream, and we headed over there as our final stop of......
After a bit of a disappointment with the alleged #1 cupcakes in Toronto, it was time to hop back down through Trinity Bellwoods Park to try blogTO’s #1 rated macaron. Nadège has been on my radar for a couple of years, but macarons have never really provided me with enough motivation to visit....
The first stop on our Toronto Treat Tour was The Wedding Cake Shoppe for blogTO’s #1 rated cupcake. On the way there, we came across Le Dolci, and popped in to see what it was all about. Little did we know, we were about to find our kindred spirits....
Attention, attention! Friends, you need to prepare yourselves. There was an extra special visitor here at Planet Byn last week! The very person who introduced me to food blogs – who unknowingly set this whole world in motion – came for a visit! That’s right, Danielle was here!...
