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......
I made these delicious tacos earlier in the summer and knew they’d be perfect for my Emmys viewing party (after copious amounts of guac & chips, natch). This is the best kind of slowcooker (or instant pot) recipe – just add everything in and turn it on. The ranch slaw is also perfect (with or......
Yesterday my girls came over to watch the Emmys, and I cooked up a last-gasp summer feast for us, which I will document here this week. We started off with these Rosé Aperol Spritzes, which I legitimately bought the passion fruit juice for LAST SUMMER and just never got around to making. This is a......
Did anyone else notice that Ontario Peaches weren’t as great as they normally are this year? I bought them from a few different farmers’ markets towards the end of August through to last week, and I felt like they weren’t bursting with as much fresh peachy flavour as usual (I felt like Kramer being unable......
