I have a tradition every October to celebrate Fall/my Birthday month with a trip to Starbucks for a Chai Latté and a Pumpkin Scone. In a tragic twist this year, I totally missed it! I guess the month got away from me with my travels and when I finally showed up, the pumpkin scones were......
Today the rest of the BSM crew is making Chinese Five Spice Scones for Chinese New Year. I actually bought the five-spice powder and sesame seeds last week, but just wasn’t feeling it. Five-spice powder is no joke: cinnamon, cloves, fennel, star anise and pepper. It’s STRONG. I’m not the biggest fan of cloves, and I......
When Danielle and I went to Atlanta last year, one of the places we went for brunch was Highland Bakery. It was actually my least favourite meal of the weekend, but it was saved by one special thing. We bought little mini sweet potato scones from the bakery case up front to snack on while......
  I have complicated feelings towards brunch, and I believe they date back to 1998-2002 in Waterloo, Ontario and a little joint called Mel’s Diner. Mel’s was the ideal place to feed your hangover on Sunday morning and for $2.99 you got a greasy plate of bacon or sausage, toast, eggs and homefries (or Mel’s......
As I mentioned the other day, the most anticipated item from my Trader Joe’s haul was Cookie Butter. Everything I heard and read about it had me super excited and curious about the magic that would be unleashed when I cracked open a jar. First, let me try my best to describe Cookie Butter: it......
When these scones were posted on Smitten Kitchen two years ago, my interest level was at about ‘medium-low’ even though Deb described them as “October on a parchment-lined baking sheet”. I’ve never really understood the whole apple/cheese combo, but with some white cheddar in the fridge and some Honeycrisps on the counter, I thought I......
I made these scones a few months ago, and they kind of got lost in the shuffle. I thought I would post them today, before it turns into summer fruit central around here. I’m that odd person that doesn’t drink coffee on a regular basis, but loves coffee flavoured things. For this reason, I’m that weirdo......
Updated with a new picture December 4, 2018 I’m new to the chili game – this is not something my family ate growing up. My Mom hates beans, and as my Dad likes to say: “If Mom hates it, we don’t eat it”. Because of this, I was never a bean eater either, and never had experienced......
Baby Wall 2.0 is here! Lydia & Andrew’s new baby Dylan Jackson was born last Sunday afternoon, while I was stuck at the most vile hotel in history on my way back from my work trip. I had my fingers crossed for the two weeks I was away hoping that this little one would ignore his......
When you invite people over at 5am to watch the Royal Wedding, you better provide some good eats to make the visit worthwhile. Yes, I am one of those people who booked April 29th off work way back in November when Prince William & Kate’s wedding date was announced. My Mom, her friend Janet, and......
