This was a bit of a weird August for me; I wasn’t living at home for the whole month, until I was, in a very PTSD way. Allow me to explain: I was at Lydia’s for the first week of August doing my annual housesitting/catsitting duties, where of course I ordered from her (and now......
Does this here ol’ blog really need another S’mores recipe? Over the years I think I’ve made every format of S’mores treat on the internet: cupcakes, cookies, squares, pudding, pie and probably more. Alas, I keep seeing these squares on Pinch of Yum and wanted to make them for Kristine’s and my pool day on......
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......
