None of my usual birthday cake food groups were calling my name when I started thinking about what kind of treat I wanted to make myself this year. (For reference they are: Cookie Dough, Funfetti, S’mores and Chocolate/Peanut Butter.) I started flipping through a few cookbooks for inspo when I realized I STILL hadn’t made......
This is one of my favourite things to make on a Sunday morning when I want something special for breakfast/brunch, but don’t want to stand around making pancakes or waffles for an hour. There’s a long history behind Dutch Babies and their origins (which you can read about online if you wish), but today we’ll......
Strawberry Season!!! The best time of the year! Nothing can really top last year, when I picked my own berries and then made the best pie of all time. Of course this year is different, but I still got my hands on some Ontario strawberries from the little farmer’s market by my house. I’ve had......
My biggest frustration when it comes to baking is wasting time and money on a recipe that doesn’t work out. It doesn’t happen too often anymore, so when it does, I get super annoyed. That’s what happened with this Strawberry Tres Leches Cake. I was so excited to make it and bring it to Jenny’s......
This is the only recipe that was on my strawberry agenda for this Summer. I’ve flipped past it in The Smitten Kitchen Cookbook so many times, but it wasn’t until Danielle made them a couple months ago and sent me a picture that I became obsessed. She made them in little mason jars, and I......
When strawberry season rolls around, I’m usually too busy eating them fresh to bake anything. This year I tried out a couple new things though, and liked them enough to post here. First up are these Strawberry Cornmeal Griddle Cakes, which were a lovely long weekend breakfast. I actually had some corncakes for brunch when......
You may remember that when I left my old job at the beginning of last summer, my former co-workers sent me off with a two week farewell treat tour. They took turns either baking something or buying treats to bring in, as a thank you for all the goodies I brought to them over the......
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 was so, so excited to be featured as the Mission Inspiration for this week’s Gastropost Berry Delicious Mission! My passion/obsession for local Ontario fruit just gets stronger every year, and even though it’s hard to pick a favourite, I think strawberries come out on top! Here’s what I had to say: I wait all......
Mom’s choice for her Mother’s Day dinner this year was “some type of chicken casserole type thing and whatever else you think would be good”. Isn’t that the best, most easygoing dinner guest? Love it. I translated her request into the following menu: Chicken, Broccoli & Rice Casserole (this recipe from Annie’s Eats with white......
