It’s wild to me that I’ve had the Momofuku Milk Bar Cookbook for over 10 years now, but have still only made one cookie out of it. The recipes are a bit high maintenance for me, and usually require one or two ingredients that I don’t keep stocked in my kitchen. I pulled it out......
This year was the TENTH Champagne & Cookies Party! I can’t believe I’ve been hosting this celebration since 2010! In a special twist this year, I relinquished cookie selection to five of my friends who’ve been around since the very first C&C. I asked them to choose their favourite treat from parties past, I picked......
It’s PUMPKIN SZN! Well, an abbreviated one anyway, since it’ll be time for Christmas Cookies before we know it. I was pretty late in cracking open a can of pumpkin this year, but still managed to sneak in a few new recipes. Does everybody out there know what a snickerdoodle cookie is? I don’t think......
Once again, my baking whims this month were dictated by my Planet Byn calendar that Danielle made for me. The whole month of June I was staring at a picture of The New York Times Chocolate Chip Cookies and I couldn’t get them out of my mind. I decided it was time to tackle one......
I can’t believe that I’ve had the Baked: New Frontiers in Baking book FOR TEN YEARS, and have never made the Chocolate Chip Cookie recipe! Blasphemy! That’s why I was so excited when our Baked Sunday Mornings group announced we’d be going back to the Baked boys first book; there are still so many recipes......
You will never, ever catch me eating an Oatmeal Raisin Cookie. I’m not against raisins per se; they have their rightful place in the bottom of butter tarts and these Carrot Cake Breakfast Cookies I’ve been making lately. But for whatever reason, I just will not tolerate them in an Oatmeal Cookie. The Baked Boys......
This year was the biggest Champagne & Cookies yet! This was the first time ever where everybody who I invited could make it (except for one!) and I didn’t even realize how many people would be coming until I started unpacking the champagne flutes and realized I didn’t have enough. Oops! It was busy and......
I really haven’t been able to keep up with the Baked Sunday Mornings crew this year, which makes me quite sad. Now that things have settled down with my work life, hopefully I can get back on track. Plus I have a whole new group of recipe tasters/testers to impress! And here we have the......
I wrote the other day about how much I loved the Netflix movie To All The Boys I’ve Loved Before, and this summer I also read the book, plus it’s two sequels. You don’t really see it too much in the movie, but in the books, a huge part of Lara Jean’s life is that......
I’m currently facing a disaster of epic proportions at my job: my new team does not eat baked goods. And I’m not talking about the one person who’s gluten-free, the one that’s lactose intolerant, or the other one that’s doing an elimination diet. I’ll bring tasty treats to our weekly team meeting, and maybe three......
