[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......
Last week I texted my friend Lusina to see if she had any treat requests for my upcoming visit to see her and her baby twins. At first she said no, and that I shouldn’t go to any trouble (I mean, has she met me? It’s my joy in life to fulfil treat requests!). But......
It’s wild to me that I’ve had the Momofuku Milk Bar Cookbook for over 10 years now, but have still only made one cookie out of it. The recipes are a bit high maintenance for me, and usually require one or two ingredients that I don’t keep stocked in my kitchen. I pulled it out......
February is the worst, but I had a bunch of fun things to get me through it this month: For the Oscars this year, I made the customary winter feast of Beef Bourguignon, Mashed Potatoes and Kale Salad. I also tried to replicate a Sweet Potato & Goat Cheese Tart from Café Plenty as an......
When I was a kid I was a pop* addict – Coke, Mountain Dew, Sprite – anything I could get my hands on. Sometimes my Mom brought home a magical case from the grocery store which had six cans each of Orange Crush (my LOVE), Grape Crush, Cream Soda and Root Beer. Over time, this......
Can you believe it? I’m kind of in shock that I’ve been writing this blog for TEN years! As I wrote last year, blogs are basically dead at this point, but I’m not ready to move on from mine just yet! It still brings me so much joy to document my favourite recipes here and......
