Another month in quarantine. The weirdest part is that it’s starting to feel normal. Here’s what I was up to at home: I was SO HAPPY to have a baking project to work on right at the beginning of the month! My friend/co-worker Nat C. ordered a Cinnamon Toast Crunch cake for her boyfriend’s 30th......

Even though I’m trying to stay positive during quarantine, I was still pretty grumpy last Friday because Krishna and I were supposed to be on a flight to Zurich. We had been planning our trip to visit Jen for a few months, and we were going to frolic around Switzerland for a few days, then......

Well this was the weirdest Mother’s Day ever, right? What even is Mother’s Day if you can’t hug your mom? Instead of brunch, pedicures, musicals and other fun stuff we’ve done in previous years, this time I just dropped off a package of treats on my Mom’s door step and we had a 6 foot......

Today we’re celebrating the end of an era: it’s the last recipe in Baked Sunday Mornings! This has been a 10 year journey through four cookbooks, and has been a joy and light in my life. It’s meant so much to me to find this community of bakers who like to nerd out just as......

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......

It’s kind of interesting how this pandemic has changed my cooking strategy. I’m normally a meticulous meal planner (not meal prepper – there’s a difference) as a way to stay organized and reduce my food waste. I would plan out a week’s worth of eats based on what I’m craving, what’s in season and how......

It’s our penultimate recipe for Baked Sunday Mornings! I can’t believe it! I have so much more to say about the whole thing, but I’ll save that for the last post. This week we kept our ovens off and made Brown Sugar Caramel Sauce. This recipe was a bit perplexing to me, as I always......

Well, we did it. A full month in quarantine. Time has no meaning anymore, so it’s hard to say whether it went by fast or slow, it just kind of went. Here’s a recap of what I was up to at home: The best Easter Bunny (my friend Sarah) dropped off some treats for me:......

What’s your trashy food court favourite food? I don’t really partake that much any more (and obviously not right now), but in my childhood and teen years, I was a food court champion. I can still picture the scene at my childhood mall, where it usually came down to a battle between two places: NY......

Biscotti aren’t really my thing. They’re too crunchy and kind of bland, and what’s the point of a cookie you can’t eat without dunking in coffee or tea? I do however consider myself a biscotti making expert, since they’re the treat I used to always make for my favourite former boss (here are a couple......
