In some ways, it feels like just yesterday that Lydia and I were frolicking through Manhattan at Christmastime. It’s actually been five years though, which means it was time for us to go back! Based on recommendations from my friend Nicole, a running list on my Notes app, and inspiration from Deb‘s Instagram stories, these......

November went by in a blur after getting back from a weekend trip to New York (more on that coming soon) to start it off. Here are a couple special things worth mentioning: Krishna organized a little birthday drinks night for me and Weedy at a couple of new-ish places.  First up was Mascot, which......

Well, look, I definitely went overboard with my apple picking this year. I brought home a gigantic bag of Honeycrisps, but that’s not the problem, because I ate them all in no time. The true problem was the Northern Spys, which are a great apple for baking but are way too tart to eat out......

I have a tradition every October to celebrate Fall/my Birthday month with a trip to Starbucks for a Chai Latté and a Pumpkin Scone. In a tragic twist this year, I totally missed it! I guess the month got away from me with my travels and when I finally showed up, the pumpkin scones were......

It’s PUMPKIN SZN! Well, an abbreviated one anyway, since it’ll be time for Christmas Cookies before we know it. I was pretty late in cracking open a can of pumpkin this year, but still managed to sneak in a few new recipes. Does everybody out there know what a snickerdoodle cookie is? I don’t think......

This month was a little hectic what with travelling for my birthday, plus prepping for another quick trip right after, so I didn’t get around to too much cooking or baking in the free time that I did have. Here’s a quick recap of a few fun highlights from the month: As I mentioned in......

It’s been a few years since my last trip to Vegas, and I was super excited to go back for a few days this month for my birthday! Restaurants on the strip turn over so frequently, so there’s always lots of new places to check out. Here’s a recap of all the outstanding eats from......

It’s time to talk about my birthday cake for this year! Even though this year was a big birthday number for me (that shall not be named, how dare you), I actually needed to keep my cake relatively quick and simple instead of going all out. For the first time that I can remember, Thanksgiving......

September is always a slower, more quiet month as everyone gets back into their usual routines. It was also still pretty hot around here, so there was no way I was cracking open a can of pumpkin, and was still eating peaches and tomatoes (see above, plus here and here). I tried a couple of......

I wrote last week about how I wasn’t finding Ontario peaches up to their normal juicy, delicious standards this summer, but I still had one more thing I wanted to make with them. This galette was the perfect way to coax out their sweetness, mixing them with honey and a little bit of bourbon, all......
