I am friends with the world’s biggest Cinnamon Toast Crunch fan (Exhibit A) who is ALSO the world’s biggest Rice Krispie Square fan (Exhibit B), so when this recipe popped up on my IG explore tab, I sent it to her right away. Her response was: “How many times can I like this?????” followed by......
I’ve spent more time then I care to admit on TikTok this year, and as someone who’s been around since the dawn of food blogs, it’s kind of interesting to me how TikTokers demo and share recipes. There’s no space or time to give lengthy explanations of ingredients or explain a method, which is fine......
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......
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......
Even though I declared last year that my Champagne & Cookies party had come to an end, I found myself missing it this year. I guess that’s the difference between making a decision yourself versus having a global pandemic make it for you. Normally I would have spent the month of November in cookie brainstorming......
Ontario peaches were so good this year! I was so excited, because last year they were definitely sub-par (at least the ones I bought). This Summer they were perfectly sweet, juicy and flavourful. I ate chopped peaches with yogurt and granola for my breakfast for about three weeks straight, and it was terrific. The only......
Strawberry Season!!! The best time of the year! Nothing can really top last year, when I picked my own berries and then made the best pie of all time. Of course this year is different, but I still got my hands on some Ontario strawberries from the little farmer’s market by my house. I’ve had......
The anticipation of rhubarb season just didn’t bring the usual amount of joy to my life as it has for every other year for the past 10 years or so. I usually spend all Spring waiting for it to pop up, and getting excited for the things I want to make. This year I kind......
Today we’re celebrating the end of an era: it’s the last recipe in Baked Sunday Mornings! This has been a 10 year journey through four cookbooks, and has been a joy and light in my life. It’s meant so much to me to find this community of bakers who like to nerd out just as......
How have I owned the first Baked Cookbook for over 10 years without ever making this recipe? S’mores are one of my favourite things on earth, so I’m not quite sure how this oversight occurred. Well, maybe two small reasons: 1) there’s no photo of these in the book 2) it calls for peanuts, which......
