I love summertime and this month was filled with so many adventures, good eats, concerts and even a lot of cooking. Here’s the breakdown: The month kicked off with a pre-Beyonce hype dinner a few days before the concert with my friends from work who were also going. We went to Soos on Ossington which......
Last November, I was out for drinks with my co-workers/friends and after a couple of glasses of prosecco, my friend Mel asked me to make her wedding cake and I said YES. Whoops. I SWORE after last time I was out of the wedding cake game, but a few things made me agree: Mel is......
I guess if I’m posting a savoury recipe here, and a salad at that, you know it’s really good. I forget about this salad throughout the year and then remember it in the summer when it’s too hot and I don’t want to cook, but I still want to eat something quick and tasty. Bonus......
It was quiet here this month because while I baked a lot, nothing was new or needed a dedicated blog post! Instead I’ll just share pictures of a couple cakes below because they were both so cute! I should have more to share next month though: I kicked off the month with a Pride Bake......
This May was quite possibly, the most fun month I’ve had since the pre-pandemic days, but because of that there wasn’t too much cooking happening at home! Here’s what was going on: After getting back from NYC, I met up with Weedy, Heini and Krishna at the new Piano Piano location on Colborne Street (which......
This is one of my favourite things to make on a Sunday morning when I want something special for breakfast/brunch, but don’t want to stand around making pancakes or waffles for an hour. There’s a long history behind Dutch Babies and their origins (which you can read about online if you wish), but today we’ll......
Lydia and I made a triumphant return to NYC at the end of April, and this time we had a special guest – Lyd’s 13 year old son Ethan! We were excited to show him all our New York faves, and I was excited to eat like a teenage boy for the weekend. We ended......
Well this is going to be a quick one since the month was bookended by my Pacific Northwest adventure and a weekend in NYC (more coming on that soon!). I didn’t cook or go out too much in between, but here are few noteworthy eats: I went to Chris & Debbie’s for Easter, and Debbie......
The second stop on my little tour of the Pacific Northwest was, of course, Seattle. While I’ve always wanted to visit the PNW (numerous obsessions listed here), the catalyst for this trip was actually Alison Roman‘s Cookbook Tour for her new baking book, Sweet Enough. Tangent alert: after my friend Dafna got to not only......
I’ve been pretty obsessed with the Pacific Northwest my whole life, due to numerous pop culture influences while growing up in the ’90s (see: Twin Peaks, Nirvana, and the Sonics NBA Finals run in 1996, among others) and have always wanted to visit. I had some vacation days to use up at the end of......
