Who is Aunt Sassy, you ask? And what does she have to do with a triple-layer pistachio cake with honey-vanilla frosting? I have no idea, as the Baked Boys don’t divulge the answer to this mystery in the book. This is a time-consuming baking project, which made it perfect for the long Easter weekend last......
Happy Easter! I had an amazing Easter dinner tonight (preceded by an Easter egg hunt in my childhood park!) and am currently on the couch digesting, in disbelief that tomorrow is April 1st. Back at the end of February, I made one goal for March: Hot Cross Buns or BUST. They’ve been on my to-bake......
Three ingredients + one bowl + a fully functioning set of tastebuds = Baked Sunday Morning success! I think the fun thing about this week will be seeing what my BSM friends select as their dippers of choice for this rich, sweet fondue, that obviously tastes like peanut butter cups. I, for one, am craving......
Our Gastropost Mission a couple of weeks ago was all about NOODLES, and the Mission Inspiration was Asian noodles in particular. This is something I feel is best left to the pros. Yes, I have attempted to make Pad Thai at home many years ago. No, it did not go well, and resulted in a......
When I was in high school, I babysat for a family for with three little boys. Their mom was in nursing school, and I sometimes slept over when she was on night shift. (Did I mention she was a single mom? In retrospect, holy cow.) Anyway, on those nights, she would prepare dinner in advance,......
2013 is off to a rocky start here on Planet Byn. Whether it’s travel issues (two cancelled flights + almost missed connection), dental issues (cracked tooth + root canal + crown) or health issues (two colds + copious amounts of snot + clogged ear), it’s been hard to stay positive and just generally make it......
I’m currently at the tail end (I hope) of a cold that has now robbed me of my sense of taste. This is the worst part of having a cold for me. I start pondering all kinds of crazy things, like what if I lost my tastebuds PERMANENTLY? Will I ever get BETTER? Is......
Obviously this Bacon Mission was a mission in two parts for me, as I had to try to incorporate it into some form of baked good. I’ve made Peanut Butter Bacon Cookies twice in the past without success. For the first batch I roasted the bacon in the oven, and didn’t like how it was......
Our Gastropost Mission this week started as a joke on Facebook, after they asked us to guess the next ______ vs. ______ Mission. Someone guessed Bacon vs. Everything Else, and they loved it so much it became the Mission for the week. I love it! The vs. Missions are my favourite, and I love a......
I just checked to see the date of my last Baked Sunday Mornings recipe, and it was these Heartland Turtle Bars at the end of August. AUGUST! Six months ago! Unacceptable. Of course looking back, I can now see this coincided with the beginning of a big project at work (still ongoing!), which has made......
