I think the carby/bready recipes from Dessert Person have been my favourite so far. I loved the Soft & Crispy Focaccia and the Pecan Maple Sticky Buns; both were SO good (even if I was a little annoyed at Claire saying you need a stand mixer to make them). I was really excited when the......
Homemade granola is a joy and staple in my life, but it wasn’t always this way. I remember way back in university my friend’s roommate made her own granola and kept it in the freezer, and I thought she was so weird and such a little hippie. Fast forward *cough* 20 years *cough* and I......
It’s kind of interesting how this pandemic has changed my cooking strategy. I’m normally a meticulous meal planner (not meal prepper – there’s a difference) as a way to stay organized and reduce my food waste. I would plan out a week’s worth of eats based on what I’m craving, what’s in season and how......
Well, look, I definitely went overboard with my apple picking this year. I brought home a gigantic bag of Honeycrisps, but that’s not the problem, because I ate them all in no time. The true problem was the Northern Spys, which are a great apple for baking but are way too tart to eat out......
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......
Even though I’ve had Baked: New Frontiers in Baking for about 10 years, I’ve never even thought about making these Honeycomb Bars. Something about all those almonds and dried cherries just never appealed to me. But that’s the fun of Baked Sunday Mornings! Not only making things you’ve been meaning to try forever, but giving......
For the past 5 or 6 years, my friend Danielle has been making me the cutest Christmas gift: a calendar with pictures of all the treats I made throughout the year. It makes me so happy, and now that I have a cubicle again, it has a prominent spot on my wall. When I turned......
I’ve seen this recipe for Salty Honey Pie on so many blogs over the past few years, and have always been intrigued by it. It sounded kind of weird, but kind of like Crack Pie, but also maybe like a butter tart with honey instead of corn syrup. When Kristine and I went to Cake......
I normally stay away from orange-flavoured recipes, but I made an exception for this breakfast. Last night I stood in the rain for two hours waiting for a TIFF screening, so I figured I could use some Vitamin C today, even if it was in pancake formation. The Baked boys are serving up these Orange......
This week we’re celebrating another amazing cookbook, and this one is all about entertaining at home. Gatherings by Jan Scott and Julie Van Rosendaal is subtitled “Bringing People Together with Food”, and I love everything that stands for. My obsession with Julie runs deep, and is currently in its 5th year. Ever since she changed my life......
