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......
Who knew that one of the side effects of a global pandemic is that it turns everyone into a wannabe baker? Flour is in short supply, yeast is nowhere to be found, and I have ongoing egg insecurity*. Luckily my neighbour brought me a huge bag of flour while I was in self-isolation after returning......
Last April, Bon Appétit published their best chocolate chip cookie recipe and I immediately tweeted: Of course it took me a year to finally get around to testing it out, but hey, we’ve all found ourselves with a bit more time to bake lately. This recipe has some familiar techniques from past CCC trials, including......
[Note: I made this cake/wrote this post back in February, pre-quarantine times] Our Baked Sunday Mornings assignment for this week was a Flourless Chocolate Cake. Now, I’m pro-flour and pro-gluten, so I don’t have much need for this in my life, but I was still excited to make it for my co-worker for her birthday.......
Welp, these monthly recaps are going to look a bit different for the next little while. Instead of documenting all the restaurants I’ve been to, or foodie adventures I’ve gone on in, this will turn into a bit of a log of what I’ve been cooking while staying at home, with a little bit of......
So the world has totally turned upside down since the last time I wrote. This blog will continue to be my happy place as we navigate through these crazy times, so I don’t want to dwell on anything negative here, except to mention the following. Danielle and I had this trip booked for months, and......
How have I owned the first Baked Cookbook for over 10 years without ever making this recipe? S’mores are one of my favourite things on earth, so I’m not quite sure how this oversight occurred. Well, maybe two small reasons: 1) there’s no photo of these in the book 2) it calls for peanuts, which......
When it comes to ice cream and other frozen desserts, I basically crave my usual favourite flavour profiles: chocolate, caramel, cookie dough, peanut butter, etc. I definitely stay away from any fruit flavours (that’s my aversion to anything tart + creamy at the same time) and I hate fruit sorbets of any kind. Because of......
