I’ve had this recipe bookmarked for ages, and even though I’m trying not to make any BA recipes, I just couldn’t delete it. I had a hunch these cookies would be like Sesame Snaps* in cookie formation, and I just had to see if I was right. I also unearthed a plastic bag of toasted......

I unabashedly love Mexican chain restaurants. Give me a a bottomless basket of tortilla chips and salsa, and then a flaming cast iron skillet of chicken fajitas and I am the happiest camper. Lone Star has been my go to for so many years; at my first job after university it’s where I bonded with......

I haven’t made anything new from the Half Baked Harvest blog in a hot minute, and as soon as I started preparing this recipe I remembered why. So many components! So many ingredients! So many dishes! I kind of hoped this wouldn’t be good after all this, but damn, it really was. And it only......

For the past five years, my friend Krishna has hosted an epic New Year’s Day brunch. For four out of those five years I didn’t make it, as I typically observe NYD in my PJs and refuse to leave my couch. I finally attended last year and had so much fun that I didn’t resurface......

My pet peeve this month was hearing “the holidays are going to look a little different this year”. A little different? Try a whole hell of a lot different. No Christmas parties, no potlucks at work, no cookie exchanges, no fam jam, and no New Year’s Day brunch. Terrible. I tried to keep the Christmas......

Every December I convince myself I’ll have time to make decorated sugar cookies for various Christmas parties or cookie platters, and of course I never do. They’re so pretty, but so time-consuming, so instead I make them for Valentine’s Day (you can see them on my Instagram going back over the years in so many......

Even though I declared last year that my Champagne & Cookies party had come to an end, I found myself missing it this year. I guess that’s the difference between making a decision yourself versus having a global pandemic make it for you. Normally I would have spent the month of November in cookie brainstorming......

What did I even do in November? It’s all a blur of CNN, election anxiety/relief and a bunch of extra time on my hands that would have usually been spent preparing for Champagne & Cookies. I couldn’t even find one good picture of something I made, so instead, please enjoy MBJ among my groceries. Let......

I’m a very suspicious person when it comes to soup. I think it’s a texture thing. If it’s too thick or too chunky or too runny, I’m out. I’m basically Goldilocks searching for something that’s just right. I also never eat soup unless I’ve made it myself, with two exceptions. First, the Creamy Tomato Soup......

October is usually my favourite month of the year with all the Fall vibes, my favourite holiday (Thanksgiving), and my birthday. This year, it was just a bit weird, but I tried to make the best of everything. I’ve already written about what I made for our mini Thanksgiving dinner and my birthday cake, but......
