In my favourite episode of Insecure, Issa orders a BBQ Salmon Taco, then proceeds to drop it on the ground when she’s startled by an insanely hot dude approaching her, and it makes her SO mad. I laugh so hard every single time, even though I know it’s coming, and I re-named this recipe in......
Ever since I started cooking salmon at home during the pandemic, this meal has become an almost weekly occurrence here on Planet Byn. It’s super quick and delicious, and I even love it as leftovers the next day (which can be a weird thing for fish). The recipe comes from my friend Jan’s cookbook Oven......
One of the (very) few good things to come out of all the quarantines/lockdowns we’ve had since 2020 is that I finally learned how to cook salmon. Pre-pandemic, I occasionally made tilapia or sole, but never salmon, and I’ve always thought I should be eating more of it for those valuable omega-3s. With cooking so......
Could it be? Something savoury posted in the summer months?! It’s a rare occurrence around these parts I know. It’s too hot to cook, so I tend to eat a lot of salads and heaped hummus (like this) for my summer dinners. But my blog crush* is posting so many tasty summer recipes, I’ve basically......
Sloppy Joes have a bad wrap, right? They’re messy, meaty, and just not cute. But it turns out that when you make the sauce from scratch and stuff the filling inside fresh soft buns, they’re totally delicious, not to mention quick and satisfying. I saw this recipe on A Cozy Kitchen a couple of years......
Updated with a new picture January 12, 2017 As soon as the weather warms up, all thoughts of cozy comfort food will be lost. It’ll be all about green things and fresh vegetables and the annual tradition of trying to convince myself I like asparagus. So I’m logging this here for the Fall 2014 Byn,......
This week’s Baked Sunday Morning recipe is a Chocolate Whiskey Tart from the Booze section of Baked Elements. Some of the recipes in this chapter call for whiskey and some use bourbon, which let me to the following question: wtf is the difference? I did some google research, and my conclusion can basically be summed......
I have pretty high standards for a made-from-scratch weeknight meal. Obviously it has to taste good. If it’s fairly quick to pull together, that’s great too. The fewer pots it uses up the better. And if it reheats well for the lunch the next day, that’s a bonus. In the summer, these are easy criteria......
Updated with a new picture January 12, 2017 Dear Future Byn circa Fall 2014, Hey! What’s up! So you got really excited and bought a spaghetti squash at the Farmer’s Market, huh? Amazing! Instead of doing what you did in Fall 2013, which was spend an hour Googling spaghetti squash recipes because you couldn’t remember......
Hey! Happy Monday! I’ve decided it’s UGLY BUT DELICIOUS week on Planet Byn! I have a few recipes I need to document here because I keep making them and forgetting about them and if I don’t blog it, it’s like it never happened in my kitchen. So hey, they aren’t the cutest dishes you’ll ever......
