I stuck to the classics for Thanksgiving this year, but I just had to made at least one new recipe, and I knew right away which one it would be. Claire posted this video/recipe back in May under the title “The Best Homemade Dinner Rolls” and there’s no better time to put that claim to......
I haven’t been baking too much this summer, but I couldn’t let strawberry season pass without making at least one thing. It was a toss up between two of Claire’s recipes: this fresh Fruit Tart or a simple Strawberry Shortcake. I had a random day off last week, but only wanted to spend a little......
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......
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......
This time last year, we were in lockdown and I decided to try to find my holy grail Ginger Molasses Cookie recipe. I normally never like making the same recipe or type of recipe multiple times because I lose interest really fast, but I was bored so thought it was a good time for some......
It would be impossible to power rank all the carbs that I love, but English Muffins would easily crack the Top 5. I love them toasted with peanut butter and jam or as part of a homemade breakfast sandwich. There’s just something about all those toasty nooks and crannies! I always thought it would be......
I think the carby/bready recipes from Dessert Person have been my favourite so far. I loved the Soft & Crispy Focaccia and the Pecan Maple Sticky Buns; both were SO good (even if I was a little annoyed at Claire saying you need a stand mixer to make them). I was really excited when the......
For the past couple of years I’ve been saying the same thing: I’ve made every rhubarb recipe on the internet and there’s nothing new to try. I thought the exact same thing this Spring, and when my friend Erin brought me rhubarb from her garden, I made two of my faves (Stewed Rhubarb & Strawberry......
My brother Joel texted me back at the beginning of June: “Dessert Person banana bread out today, may have to put it up against mom’s banana muffins”. I immediately got excited about a Banana Bread face-off/blind taste test/throwdown because our Mom’s Banana Muffins are THE BEST. We’ve been eating them our whole lives, so I......
I love cornbread and don’t make it nearly enough. I have a go-to recipe (that I should actually elevate to My Favourite status here), and I tried Alison Roman’s version at some point during the pandemic. Both of those recipes are the style that I like: plain. Claire’s recipe for Loaded Cornbread is pretty much......
