For reasons that can’t be explained, every time I’ve gone to Trader Joe’s/Target since the borders re-opened in 2022, I’ve added MULTIPLE bags of freeze-dried fruit to my cart. I have no idea why I keep doing this and it needs to stop. I used one bag last summer to make these Neapolitan Cookies, and......
When Roe v. Wade was overturned in the US earlier this summer, Bakers Against Racism activated once again to raise money to protect reproductive rights. I knew right away I wanted to participate, because while abortion is legal in Canada, there are so many barriers in place that prevent equitable access. I wanted to raise......
After all the treats of Thanksgiving and my birthday, I found myself at the office one day in search of something fresh for lunch. I was trying to think back to my pre-pandemic, pre-non profit days in the Financial District and what my go-to moves for lunch were and the Santa Fe Salad from Earls......
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......
Kristine and I met up in my parents’ backyard a couple of weeks ago for a pool day, and I knew right away I wanted to recreate our poolside snacks from our trip to Vegas last October. Frosé? Check. Guac + Chips? Check. Chilled Watermelon Wedges with Tequila Lime Syrup? That one took a tiny......
Yesterday my girls came over to watch the Emmys, and I cooked up a last-gasp summer feast for us, which I will document here this week. We started off with these Rosé Aperol Spritzes, which I legitimately bought the passion fruit juice for LAST SUMMER and just never got around to making. This is a......
We all know that I’m super picky when it comes to food, but did you know there’s one particular thing that I LOVE, but that I refuse to eat in public? That’s Corn-on-the-Cob, my friends. I just can’t deal. The only place I’ll eat it is at my parents’ house, because I know I can......
One of my favourite things to do with my co-workers is go to Lone Star for Fajita Fridays. It doesn’t necessarily take place on Fridays, and we don’t always eat fajitas, but there is one constant: CHEAP MARGARITAS. It’s truly the best. My friend Shane had all of us over to the patio in his......
So it’s August, and I’m still on rhubarb over here. I know that blueberries, cherries and peaches are waiting for me, so I’ve decided that this is the last week for rhubarb in my kitchen. I made some strawberry rhubarb jam yesterday, am working on a rhubarb recipe today that I’ve had bookmarked for THREE......
It’s Messy Baker Monday!!! Today a bunch of my blogging friends have gotten together to celebrate the new cookbook from our friend Charmian Christie. I’ve gotten to know Charmian through various blogger events over the past year and a half, and even attended the launch party for The Messy Baker Cookbook last month. That’s where......
