Ever since I started cooking salmon at home during the pandemic, this meal has become an almost weekly occurrence here on Planet Byn. It’s super quick and delicious, and I even love it as leftovers the next day (which can be a weird thing for fish). The recipe comes from my friend Jan’s cookbook Oven......
At our Easter dinner back in April, there was discussion around the table over what everyone’s preferred “J” is in a PB&J. My sister-in-law Tara had a very hot take (to me), which was that she loves a PB&J with grape jelly. I was immediately hit with a wave of nostalgia for toasted English Muffins......
I had so much fun this month! I went on a couple of road trip adventures, tried a few new restaurants and had an amazing stay-cation. Here’s the scoop: I met up with the Libra Gang at The Ace so we could celebrate Becca before her wedding. We shared a bunch of dishes, including a......
I’m really excited that some of my friends are starting to return to the office. I feel the potential for lunches and after-work drinks in the air, and I couldn’t be happier! My friend Erin is back to work every Friday, so we met up a couple weeks ago for coffee and promptly resumed our......
I’m obsessed with these energy bites – they are PERFECT. I’ve tried so many other recipes over the years (and have been listing the ones I’ve made this year in my monthly recaps), but this is by far my favourite. It uses ingredients I pretty much always have at home (maybe not the mini chocolate......
Spring means renewal and I felt that deep in my core this month. Life is starting to feel rich and fun again, and April was full of family and friends: I was so excited for Easter this month! We still didn’t have our full family around the table, but we’re almost there! My Mom made......
While I’ve been going back to the office regularly since the beginning of March, last week was the official start of our ‘Phase 1 Return to Office’ plan. Not being able to bake and share treats with my co-workers has been such a huge bummer over the past two years, so I had a lot......
In general, I’m always trying to spend less time staring at my phone, but Instagram has historically been my downfall. I’m really working on it though, and in January, went on a strict IG detox for the entire month and didn’t even cheat! This seemed to break a lot of bad habits I had, and......
I baked up a storm this month for another charity bake sale, and actually left my home for a quick trip to Ottawa to spend time with my friend Katy and her family. Here’s more on both, plus what I was cooking throughout the month: Bakers Against Racism activated for an emergency bake sale this......
First Dessert Person entry for 2022! Now, everybody knows citrus desserts aren’t my favourite, particularly anything that’s tart and creamy at the same time. But my brother Joel feels the exact opposite, and it was his birthday this past weekend, so I knew right away that I’d make this for him. This recipe is pretty......
