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). Luckily the month ended on a much better note with both my......

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.

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......

I kept myself busy with baking and canning projects in September which was a nice distraction from everything else going on in this dumpster fire of world right now. Here’s the scoop: My favourite twins turned 1 this month! While COVID robbed me of the joy of attending their birthday party, I was still there in......

Dare I say August almost felt like a normal Summer month? I ate tons of fresh tomatoes and peaches, had a few pool days, and soaked up as much sun as possible. I blogged a lot too, but here’s a short recap of what else was happening: My beloved Aunt Mary celebrated her 80th birthday......
