While the rest of my Baked Sunday Morning friends are making a truly terrifying Banana in a Blanket cake this weekend, I decided to make something a little easier. The Banana in a Blanket is a roll up cake, and I’ve never made one before and didn’t really feel like taking that on today. So......
Our mission this week was to make something that showed our Canadian pride as we cheered on our Olympic athletes. Awesome! So here are some maple sugar cookies sandwiched together with maple buttercream. But here’s the thing: I hate the Winter Olympics (gasp! shock! horror!). I just can’t get excited about speed skating or bobsledding......
The darkest, dreariest month of the year is now behind us! Rejoice! February went by quickly (thank goodness), and I was knocked down by a stomach bug/flu (again), but did have a few highlights on the food front: Superbowl Sunday coincided with my Dad’s birthday this year, so we watched the game together and ate......
Gastropost asked us a tough question this week: Vanilla or Chocolate? I think it’s an easy answer. Do you ever find yourself with an intense craving for vanilla? No, I don’t think so. And that is why I’m on Team Chocolate. You’ll never find me taking shots of vanilla extract out of the bottle, but......
Food Network Canada has started showing Barefoot Contessa episodes again on Sunday mornings at 10am, and I just can’t get enough. After Anna Olson’s show Sugar, BC was my #2 obsession when I started watching Food Network over 10 years ago. I loved everything about Ina: her house, her cooking, her entertaining style, and of......
Updated with a new picture May 25, 2016 I mentioned in my Blog-iversary post the other day that I wanted to stop feeling pressure to only post styled photos, because “Sometimes you make an amazing pizza and it’s 9pm, and it’s the most delicious thing you’ve eaten all week, and all you have is an......
Four years ago I sat on the couch in my Mom & Dad’s family room, and send out an email to my closest friends to let them know I started a food blog. I can’t begin to express the joy that it has brought me since that day! This was a big year of change......
Bale Bars. Otherwise known as: No-Bake White Chocolate Caramel Peanut Butter Pretzel Bars. That’s a lot going on for this simple looking bar. They’re incredibly sweet, and I have to admit I’m not sold. I feel like they would be a better combined with something else; maybe layered on top of brownies (like these), or......
Uhhh…this month was a bust y’all. I didn’t get up to much food-wise as I was knocked out with the flu for a week, and the polar vortex had me in major hibernation mode. Just a few notable things: I made a birthday cake for my friend Molly at the very beginning of the......
I showed an amazing amount of restraint by not bringing any treats into the office for the whole month. I was a little baked out after the holidays, plus people usually aren’t that excited to see baked goods when they’re on their January detox/cleanse/whatever. All that came to an end this week when I brought......
