I’m obsessed with these energy bites – they are PERFECT. I’ve tried so many other recipes over the years (and have been listing the ones I’ve made this year in my monthly recaps), but this is by far my favourite. It uses ingredients I pretty much always have at home (maybe not the mini chocolate......
Back in the early years of Planet Byn, I used to blog extensively about my Golden Globes and Oscar meals. I haven’t really done that lately, especially since my friends have been requesting the same dinner for the past two or three years now. This past Oscar Sunday, I actually remembered to take pictures of......
In the 5 years I’ve been blogging, I can’t even count the number of times I’ve made these muffins. They are the epitome of comfort to me. My Mom made these all the time for us when we were growing up and I make them all the time now. The recipe comes from a cookbook......

I know, I know, who wants to hear about bran muffins, right? But here’s the thing, I’ve been working so much the last few weeks there just hasn’t really been time for any fun baking projects. This morning I realized I hadn’t posted in almost two weeks and I didn’t even have anything to blog about.......
