Are you Team Coffee or Team Tea? That was the question posed to Gastroposters last week, in the ultimate battle of warm beverages. It took me a minute to choose a side, and here’s what I had to say: My hot beverage of choice is Vanilla Rooibos Tea, but if I have to choose, I’m Team Coffee......
As I mentioned the other day, the most anticipated item from my Trader Joe’s haul was Cookie Butter. Everything I heard and read about it had me super excited and curious about the magic that would be unleashed when I cracked open a jar. First, let me try my best to describe Cookie Butter: it......
*Deep breath* Here we go. It goes without saying that Smitten Kitchen is my favourite food blog. It’s one of the first ones I found back in 2008 when Danielle introduced me to the whole world of food blogging, and it was love at first bite. I can’t really remember what the first recipe I......
When the Gastropost Mission was released last week, I kind of thought something was up. Cookies in November? I thought maybe they just didn’t know that on Planet Byn and most other places, it’s all cookie everything, all day, everyday, but not until December! Things became a little more clear later in the week when......
Birthday treat week concludes with these peanut butter/Butterfinger/chocolate chip cookies I made to share with my friend Weedy. Of course, I had to taste test a few before I passed them on. Let’s just say she’s lucky she got any, because it was very hard to stop eating these! Raw or baked, cookie dough is......
It’s been just over a year since my friend Barry left my old department, and moved to a new company. In that year, without any other changes to his fitness regime or eating habits, he’s lost 10 lbs. I’ll give that a moment to sink in. This means that without regular access to the treats......
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.......
Just a few quick posts today to log some of my baking projects from last week. Nicole’s parents celebrated their 50th wedding anniversary (amazing) and I made these cookie favours for everyone to take home from their party. ...
Perhaps one day I’ll be the “you should make this” type of blogger; the kind who has all their holiday treats prepped, photographed and blogged in the week or two leading up to an event. This is so not me (obviously) as I’m usually posting my holiday baking projects after the fact. So I guess I’m......
After Champagne & Cookies, I’m usually cookie-ed out for a while, but I broke my hiatus for this delicious treat. I was happy to make this recipe because I had it bookmarked on both my work computer and personal laptop; so I got double the satisfaction because I got to delete it twice. This has been......
