I guess if I’m posting a savoury recipe here, and a salad at that, you know it’s really good. I forget about this salad throughout the year and then remember it in the summer when it’s too hot and I don’t want to cook, but I still want to eat something quick and tasty. Bonus......
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......
I wrote in my June recap that I kind of forgot to switch up my cooking for the warm weather months, so I’ve been looking for summery recipes to try lately. I kept seeing this salad bowl on Mel’s Kitchen Café when I was searching for her cilantro lime rice, and gave it a try......
Well, here it is, my childhood in a bowl. You know, I don’t think it ever even crossed my mind that there was something that could be considered weird about 5 Cup Salad until my sister-in-law Debbie came on the scene in the early 2000s. She took one look at it at a family gathering......
Comfort food and nostalgia soaked recipes are reigning supreme over here these days (just wait until 5-cup Salad hits Planet Byn!). I guess you wouldn’t normally think of a raw broccoli salad as comfort food, but it is for me. This is one of my favourite recipes that my friend Katy makes (you might remember......
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......
I had my besties over for brunch this past weekend, and I was so happy with my menu planning and excited to write about it here! My friend Aoife has a few restrictions (no gluten, dairy or eggs) but nothing that prevented me from whipping up a totally delicious brunch (in my humble opinion!). While......
I’m boldly going where no Planet Byn recipe has gone before today: a savoury rhubarb recipe. I tried to make a rhubarb chutney once and it was a disaster, so I’ve given other savoury rhubarb recipes the side eye ever since. Rhubarb barbecue sauce? No thanks. Raw rhubarb in a salsa? Nah. However, a rhubarb......
For a long time I have had a very real, very negative reaction to strawberries and goat cheese in salad. This stems, no doubt, from my aversion to Milestone’s, which I have explained at length in the past. They had* a salad with this combination on the menu in the early-mid aughts, when I ate......
I mean this in the best way possible: I am so sick of searching for this recipe on Jan’s blog! Every time I’ve made it this summer, I’ve looked it up on Family Bites and then thought to myself that I need to post it here. So finally, finally, here it is. When I make......
