I’ve talked here before about my annoyance with recipes on TikTok and how I find it so hard to keep track of them. Did I take a screenshot of it? Did I save it on TikTok? Did I jot the ingredients down on a post-it? Who knows! Case in point, I kept losing this delicious......
I haven’t made this for dinner in years and I’m not quite sure why, as it used to be a staple in my rotation for a long time. I actually totally forgot about it until I was at lunch with some co-workers last week and one of them mentioned how they make an “egg roll......
It seems like everyone is OBSESSED with protein right now. Watch any amount of foodie Tik Tok and you’ll be assaulted with ways to increase the protein in your meals/snacks/life. One of the ways to do this is via an ingredient I’ve avoided for my entire life: cottage cheese. I remember my Mom would sometimes......
In my favourite episode of Insecure, Issa orders a BBQ Salmon Taco, then proceeds to drop it on the ground when she’s startled by an insanely hot dude approaching her, and it makes her SO mad. I laugh so hard every single time, even though I know it’s coming, and I re-named this recipe in......
At some point during the pandemic, I started making Pinterest boards for dinner parties that I wanted to host when lockdowns finished and life returned to “normal”. To be honest, they were all various Thanksgiving themed boards, based around me FINALLY roasting a turkey for the first time in my life. I decided this was......
I absolutely adore Molly Yeh, and have a series recording set up on my PVR for Girl Meets Farm so I never miss an episode. HOWEVER, it’s pretty rare that I make any of the recipes I actually see on the show, since Molly is routinely doing things like handmaking fresh pasta for homemade ravioli,......
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......
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......
Shawarma is one of the primary joys in my life and I was excited at the prospect of replicating it at home when I saw this recipe on the (oddly named) Plays Well With Butter blog. Obviously I knew I’d never be able to match the happiness of watching chicken shawarma get sliced off a......
One of the (very) few good things to come out of all the quarantines/lockdowns we’ve had since 2020 is that I finally learned how to cook salmon. Pre-pandemic, I occasionally made tilapia or sole, but never salmon, and I’ve always thought I should be eating more of it for those valuable omega-3s. With cooking so......
