A few weeks ago my Mom saved me a section of the National Post, because it was all about rhubarb. Turns out, this was actually part of a new feature in the paper called Gastropost!It works like so: each week a new food-related mission is posted, you can complete the mission, and then post about it......
My not-so-little nephew turned SEVEN last week, and he requested Toronto Maple Leafs cookies for his family party. I knew I wasn’t going to have enough time during the week to go the whole royal icing route, so my brainstorm was to make the actual cookies bright blue and sandwich them together with faux-Oreo filling.......
Wow, look, a vegetable! After Farewell Treat week, then Rhubarb week, I’m sure you were wondering (probably not!) what I’ve been eating for dinner. The answer is: nothing too exciting. With my new job, I’m getting home a little later, so I’ve been having a lot of quick dishes (i.e. roasted veggie soft tacos), plus......
I’m not sure I’m ever going to have the occasion to make 120 cups of candy-covered popcorn again in my life, but I thought I would document the process here just in case! This was for my childhood friend Marlena’s baby shower. We got to chatting back in April at Nicole’s house, and she asked if......
For Father’s Day this year, my Dad got to choose his own dinner adventure, as I emailed him short lists of mains, startchy sides and veggie sides, and told him to pick one from each list. We ended up with ribs, roasted potatoes and roasted summer veggies. He’s been watching a lot of Diners, Drive-ins and Dives......
Has it really been like two years since Danielle’s last guest blog post? That’s just crazy. She made something this week that is very different from her usual kitchen adventures, so of course, I peer pressured her to write about it! Here she is: This is not something I would normally bookmark, let alone......
You may recall I was full of rage perturbed on Mother’s Day when I couldn’t find rhubarb in time to make this dessert. So obvs I made it for Father’s Day instead! Let’s make this very clear: this is one for the rhubarb lovers of the world. The rhubarb isn’t diced into little pieces like......
RHUBARB week rolls on over here with a foxy little drink I’ve been making for a few summers now. Fellow rhubarb lover Gwendolyn posted this recipe a couple of years ago, and it has the best story behind it (her grandmother’s nickname was Foxy Lady!). I can’t believe I haven’t posted this until now....
I had so much fun posting with a theme last week (my farewell treats to my now former co-workers), that I decided we’re going to do it again. Yes, that’s right, it’s RHUBARB week on Planet Byn. It’s well documented in the archives that I just love this pink, tart, celery looking weirdo of a......
On my very last day of work I actually brought in Joy’s Chocolate Bundt Cake, so this was the penultimate treat. The entire farewell treat tour was essentially like Byn’s greatest hits of chocolate combinations: chocolate + peanut butter, chocolate + butterscotch, chocolate + cookie dough, and finally, chocolate + marshmallow....
