Still a little bit behind here everyone, but I’m on a mission to get caught up this week so I can get back to posting in real-time! Summer salads! Graham cracker disasters! Roasted strawberries! We’ll get there friends, I promise....

  I’m in a rhubarb frenzy! Or I was two weeks ago, since I’m a little bit behind over here. Like all spring/summer fruit, there’s such a short window of time when rhubarb is in season, so you really have to take advantage of it, and I think that makes it okay to go a......

I didn’t make anything new for Easter dessert, but I thought it was worth a quick post to recap my little changes to this Butterscotch Cream Pie. Instead of the pastry crust I used on the first version, this time I used a graham cracker crust, which held up nicely, and didn’t get soggy like my first......

This is my re-creation of the pie of my dreams that I had in Halifax. It’s a pastry crust, filled with butterscotch pudding and topped with whipped cream, and it was a sweet second course at my blog-iversary party. I’m calling this version 1.0, because there are a few things I’m going to do differently next time....

Citrus desserts don’t really get me too excited, but in the case of meyer lemons, I decided that a little investigation was required. Meyer lemons join the long, long list of things I never knew existed before I started reading food blogs. I had a pretty serious case of fomo (h/t Nicole) that relates to......

On Planet Byn, NYE is just another night to relax and stay in or go to the movies, and of course, cook. This year I pulled some pork, mixed up some slaw, and had a couple of my girls over to hang out. Kristine leaves for the Philippines in a week, and she is super......

  Every month on Anna Olson’s Facebook page, she posts a new, yet-to-be published recipe, and invites her fans to test it out. This Pumpkin Pie was the first one I tried, just in time for Thanksgiving last weekend. I’ve never been a huge Pumpkin Pie fan, but I’ve started experimenting with pumpkin in baking......

Peaches bring us to the end of another summer of amazing Ontario fruit. This summer I baked with rhubarb, strawberries, raspberries and blueberries (some muffins that I didn’t blog about), which brings us to peaches. A couple weeks ago Alexis, Nick and I headed over to the Winona Peach Festival, which is in the tiny town of......

Last summer when Lydia was pregnant with Ethan, I liked to grill her about her cravings to try to find new baking projects.  She’s always loved desserts based around bananas – she introduced me to bananas foster many years ago – and one of the first things she asked for was Banana Cream Pie.  I made......

Here’s Easter Dessert #2, which would have saved the day if I couldn’t find a store that was open on Easter morning. I had all the ingredients at home because I was going to make this sometime in March but ended up doing something else. This recipe comes from the blog Patent and the Pantry, which......
