You may have already guessed this, but it’s pretty rare that I cook the same thing twice, especially when it comes to weeknight dinners. I wouldn’t say I have anything even close to a regular rotation of recipes, since I’m constantly bookmarking and pinning new things to try. But every once and a while, I’ll......
I’m currently on a mission to clear out my drafts folder, which features a lot of tasty dinners that I just never got around to posting in the past year. Seeing as how this is the time of year where I feel I’ll get slapped if I show up at work with baked goods, it’s......
Last week’s Gastropost mission was super fun: Food on a Stick! I was originally going to do some type of s’mores situation (skewered graham cake, homemade marshmallows, hot fudge dipping sauce), but I took things in a more savoury direction. Here’s what I had to say: As a condo-dweller without a barbecue, I took......
Attention, attention! Friends, you need to prepare yourselves. There was an extra special visitor here at Planet Byn last week! The very person who introduced me to food blogs – who unknowingly set this whole world in motion – came for a visit! That’s right, Danielle was here!...
For Father’s Day this year, my Dad got to choose his own dinner adventure, as I emailed him short lists of mains, startchy sides and veggie sides, and told him to pick one from each list. We ended up with ribs, roasted potatoes and roasted summer veggies. He’s been watching a lot of Diners, Drive-ins and Dives......
We now present a dinner six months in the making. Here’s my personal history with Banh Mi: 1. October 24, 2011: Mindy Kaling’s website. This was my first time hearing about Banh Mi. Mindy is basically my life role model (love her humour, fashion, style), so I was intrigued by her love of Banh Mi, but not yet......
Every once in a while I cook something at home that is so delicious, I have to give myself a little pat on the back. It doesn’t happen all that frequently, but this was one of those dinners that I was just so proud of, and couldn’t wait to blog about, not to mention make......
Hold the phone! Stop the presses! Could I actually be posting a FISH recipe on Planet Byn? It’s true. I briefly touched upon the genetic mystery of my aversion to seafood in this post, but the reality is, I’ve been trying to eat fish once a week. It’s good for you, often cheaper than chicken,......
It’s currently 76 degrees in my condo (without the heat on) and the sun is shining in here, lighting the whole place up (and showing me all the places I need to dust, but whatever). Can this really be January? The month when we’re supposed to want to hibernate and eat comfort food?...
It’s been well documented that I love awards shows over here on Planet Byn, and that I consider the Golden Globes to be the Superbowl of award season. Of course, delicious eats are in order to watch the red carpet and ponder the reasons why Jessica Biel decided to wear her great-great-great-great grandmother’s wedding dress....
