What a time to be alive and double vaccinated! It was so fun to start hanging out with friends again IRL, and even share food! Here’s what was going on in the first month of my my post-vaxx life: My friend Jen had a few us over for a swim and patio lunch over the......
This month ended with a double vaxx and you can see how I feel about that as pictured above! Ready to have a fun summer, see my friends IRL and actually be able to eat treats together instead of dropping them on doorsteps! Here’s what led up to my second shot: My friend Erin came......
It was a pretty quiet month here, but I did have a very important cake to work on, and an extra special delivery to make. Here’s more: I think I mentioned in another monthly recap that I’m making a wedding cake this August! It was the bride-to-be’s birthday this month, so I thought the timing......
I got a lot of joy out of doing some birthday baking drop-offs this month, and I also GOT VACCINATED at the end of the month! Here’s what was happening in the kitchen: April kicked off with Easter! I had a small Easter dinner with my parents, and my contributions were My Favourite Mashed Potatoes......
The beginning of this month was a struggle. I was dealing with some work drama, and generally just annoyed by all the COVID anniversary content that was popping up everywhere (like we need to be reminded we’ve been stuck inside for one year).

February is the worst, but I cooked, baked and blogged my way through it all and it actually seemed to fly by. Here’s what was happening: First, let’s pour one out for Dara & Erin from How to Eat! They announced at the beginning of the month that they’re winding down their blog to focus......
I think I was prepared for the worst this month with another looming lockdown and the onset of frigid weather, but I managed to make it out of January (relatively) unscathed. I blogged about an old fave, a couple of new faves, and a new project I’m excited about. Here are the other things that......
My pet peeve this month was hearing “the holidays are going to look a little different this year”. A little different? Try a whole hell of a lot different. No Christmas parties, no potlucks at work, no cookie exchanges, no fam jam, and no New Year’s Day brunch. Terrible. I tried to keep the Christmas......
What did I even do in November? It’s all a blur of CNN, election anxiety/relief and a bunch of extra time on my hands that would have usually been spent preparing for Champagne & Cookies. I couldn’t even find one good picture of something I made, so instead, please enjoy MBJ among my groceries. Let......
October is usually my favourite month of the year with all the Fall vibes, my favourite holiday (Thanksgiving), and my birthday. This year, it was just a bit weird, but I tried to make the best of everything. I’ve already written about what I made for our mini Thanksgiving dinner and my birthday cake, but......
