I made these delicious tacos earlier in the summer and knew they’d be perfect for my Emmys viewing party (after copious amounts of guac & chips, natch). This is the best kind of slowcooker (or instant pot) recipe – just add everything in and turn it on. The ranch slaw is also perfect (with or......
Yesterday my girls came over to watch the Emmys, and I cooked up a last-gasp summer feast for us, which I will document here this week. We started off with these Rosé Aperol Spritzes, which I legitimately bought the passion fruit juice for LAST SUMMER and just never got around to making. This is a......
Did anyone else notice that Ontario Peaches weren’t as great as they normally are this year? I bought them from a few different farmers’ markets towards the end of August through to last week, and I felt like they weren’t bursting with as much fresh peachy flavour as usual (I felt like Kramer being unable......
This week I celebrated my first anniversary at my new job, but have been thinking for weeks about what kind of cake I would bring in to share with the team (because OBVIOUSLY there would be cake). Since I was a little bit burnt out on layer cakes after the Ultimate S’mores Cake, the one......
I was so happy that this August was filled with delicious baking projects and I blogged about them all! I also went to a few new (to me) places that I loved. Here’s what was happening: My friend Heather is moving to Hamilton, so I spent a bit of time there early in the month......
I’m coming up on my 1 year anniversary at work and have been doing some intense research on which cake I want to bring in to celebrate (because obviously I’m making myself a cake). I was perusing a new-to-me blog, Baking with Blondie, after seeing her pop up in my Instagram explore tab for......
I’m going slightly rogue this week for Baked Sunday Mornings. Our recipe is for Raspberry Crumb Breakfast Bars, but I swapped in blueberries because I had so many leftover from this Black & Blue Pie. It was an outstanding choice. I have actually made these in the past (with raspberries) way back before I even......
After making the world’s best pie earlier this summer, I was eager to take on another one! I’ve had my eye on this Blueberry & Blackberry Pie from Smitten Kitchen for a couple years now, and have just been obsessed with the beautiful purple filling. I picked up a gigantic basket of blueberries at the......
I have spent this entire month trying to convince myself that I like zucchini. I’ve always passed it off as just the worst vegetable because it’s slimy and doesn’t even taste like anything. The only way I’ve liked it in the past was in Smitten’s Zucchini Carpaccio, or maybe thrown in these noodles when I......
I may have had a bit of an influence on my niece when it came to her birthday cake selection this year. To be fair, we did talk about a few other options, including a Lemon Meringue Mega Cake, so that shows you right there I was trying to be unbiased (I hate citrus desserts!).......
