Kristine and I tried to squeeze* in one more pool day yesterday before this Summer wraps up. I blended up these Frozen Watermelon Mojitos at home, then (safely) raced over to my parents’ backyard before they could melt. We sipped on these, caught up and went for a quick dip. Even that little bee in the......
When it comes to ice cream and other frozen desserts, I basically crave my usual favourite flavour profiles: chocolate, caramel, cookie dough, peanut butter, etc. I definitely stay away from any fruit flavours (that’s my aversion to anything tart + creamy at the same time) and I hate fruit sorbets of any kind. Because of......
I first made these fudgesicles all the way back in 2010! But in the spirit of Summer and Baked Sunday Mornings, I gave them another shot this week. This is a basically a frozen pudding pop, with the addition of some espresso powder. I was curious to see what would happen if I substituted the......
I really feel like I’ve been off my popsicle game for the last few Summers. There’s just a treasure trove of awesome ideas in the Planet Byn archives (like Peaches & Cream Popsicles, Rhubarb Creamsicles, and Mocha Fudgesicles to name a few), but I haven’t made anything new in a few years. Last year’s Frosé......
Last Summer, I was obsessed with Frosé, and documented my trials extensively here. By the time I figured out the best way to make it, Summer was over and I had no use for my new skills. Well, Summer’s back in full effect and I only have one goal*: TURN EVERY COCKTAIL INTO A SLUSHIE.......
While I may not have figured out my signature summer cocktail just yet, here’s my Summer Sixteen signature dessert. I made this two weeks in a row, and considering I hardly every make the same thing twice, it automatically qualifies. This is what’s happening in this four layer party in a pie plate: Graham cracker......
Baked Sunday Mornings is celebrating Canada Day today by remixing a classic Canadian dessert: Nanaimo Squares. My Mom always made these at Christmas time when I was growing up, but many Canadian families (ahem, Danielle) enjoy them all year round. For my American friends, here’s a quick lesson. A traditional Nanaimo Square consists of three......
A few summers ago, my friend Danielle and I both got really excited about these ice cream sandwiches on Smitten Kitchen.  I, personally, have some issues with ice cream sandwiches in general, mostly because my teeth are really sensitive and I can’t handle the thought of biting into ice cream. Also, because I hate it when......
The rest of the team is making a semifreddo today, which I’m passing on for two reasons: It contains raw eggs. My friend Carole told me the likelihood of you-know-what contamination is very rare from the eggs we buy/eat from grocery stores, but it still freaks me out a little bit. My freezer is currently......
Our sweet friend Meg is having a baby! What better way to celebrate than with a virtual baby shower in her honour. Meg’s expecting Baby Girl #2 at the end of this month, and we’re all so excited for her. I love that we’ve been there for all the fun parts of Meg’s pregnancy, from......
