Guess what? I finally finished making everything on my Summer Baking To-Do List! What’s that you say? The list is from 2010? Better late than never! Peach Hand Pies are essentially summer wrapped up into one neat little tidy package. Of course, this package is one that requires a clean kitchen, lots of patience,......

  Last week’s Gastropost mission was super fun: Food on a Stick! I was originally going to do some type of s’mores situation (skewered graham cake, homemade marshmallows, hot fudge dipping sauce), but I took things in a more savoury direction. Here’s what I had to say: As a condo-dweller without a barbecue, I took......

  It’s been a hot minute since my last Baked Sunday Morning! Mostly just because of other baking projects I’ve had going on this summer, plus the fact that these recipes tend to be so involved, and sometimes you just don’t feel like spending a lot of time in the kitchen during a nice sunny......

Here’s a little peek into my favourite spot to spend a sunny summer afternoon. I love hanging out by the pool in my parents’ backyard and all I need is a fun summer book, a thick application of sunscreen and sometimes a bright, fresh cocktail as a treat. On this day my Mom and I read......

  In the battle for top stone fruit of my heart, peaches just win out over cherries. But the thing with fresh cherries is that I just don’t like to bake with them. This is mainly because there aren’t many left to use after I eat them all as a snack, but also due to a pre-blog......

  So I dropped the ball on that whole PEACH WEEK thing as promised last Monday, but I promise I’ll have those recipes up while there’s still a few more weeks to capitalize on fresh peaches. We have to pause for a moment though, because I have something so exciting to share! Here’s my niece Charlotte’s 5th Birthday......

  I feel like Kramer right now with his Mackinaw Peaches: Jerry, this is a miracle of nature that exists for a brief period! It’s like the aurora borealis! He’s right, because there’s really only a few more weeks to take advantage of amazing local peaches. I’ve had a huge basket on my counter for the last few......

Last week’s Gastropost Mission was all about a Toronto Taco Takeover. You guys know I am sort of obsessed with homemade tortillas, weird taco fillings, and making large portions of delicious shredded things in my slowcooker, but instead of making tacos at home, I decided to venture out. This was influenced by a variety of......

When I need to reset a little bit, and try to get my eating in check (like say, after a full day of eating sugar), the first blog I go to for ideas is Oh She Glows. The recipes on Angela’s blog are all vegan, and I swear you feel healthier just reading them. I have a small......

It’s been just over a year since my friend Barry left my old department, and moved to a new company. In that year, without any other changes to his fitness regime or eating habits, he’s lost 10 lbs. I’ll give that a moment to sink in. This means that without regular access to the treats......
