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......
This felt like a really long month, and was filled with ups and downs. Working at home everyday is definitely taxing on my mental health, and I’m still figuring it all out. Spending time in the kitchen helps though, and I love having a project to work on which usually results in an excuse to......
It didn’t feel right to blog this month and write about food, when a watershed movement of social activism is happening around the world. Instead I spent a lot of time educating myself and then baking 350+ cookies as part of Bakers Against Racism. I still had to eat though, so here’s the monthly recap......
Another month in quarantine. The weirdest part is that it’s starting to feel normal. Here’s what I was up to at home: I was SO HAPPY to have a baking project to work on right at the beginning of the month! My friend/co-worker Nat C. ordered a Cinnamon Toast Crunch cake for her boyfriend’s 30th......
Well, we did it. A full month in quarantine. Time has no meaning anymore, so it’s hard to say whether it went by fast or slow, it just kind of went. Here’s a recap of what I was up to at home: The best Easter Bunny (my friend Sarah) dropped off some treats for me:......
Welp, these monthly recaps are going to look a bit different for the next little while. Instead of documenting all the restaurants I’ve been to, or foodie adventures I’ve gone on in, this will turn into a bit of a log of what I’ve been cooking while staying at home, with a little bit of......
February is the worst, but I had a bunch of fun things to get me through it this month: For the Oscars this year, I made the customary winter feast of Beef Bourguignon, Mashed Potatoes and Kale Salad. I also tried to replicate a Sweet Potato & Goat Cheese Tart from Café Plenty as an......
