I am obsessed with cookie dough; it’s my most favourite treat. I thought my co-workers should experience the joy of guilt-free eggless chocolate chip cookie dough, so I made this during my last week to share with them. Pretty simple, just a brownie layer on the bottom topped with the dough. I’ve had this bookmarked......
The farewell treat tour was going along swimmingly until we hit Day 3. This certain co-worker who tries my patience came over to get a slice of this tart that morning. I had cut the slices VERY small (16 slices from a 9″ tart) and the following exchange took place:...
Forgot to mention yesterday that I chose all the treats you’re going to see this week. Instead of taking requests, I decided to make things I’ve had bookmarked forever and knock a few recipes off my never-ending ‘to bake’ list....
Big changes in the Byn-osphere over the past few weeks. I left my department of almost ten years and transferred to a new one within the same company. It’s a pretty major life change for me. I’m doing something totally different, and I feel refreshed and excited for the next few years. ...
I made these scones a few months ago, and they kind of got lost in the shuffle. I thought I would post them today, before it turns into summer fruit central around here. I’m that odd person that doesn’t drink coffee on a regular basis, but loves coffee flavoured things. For this reason, I’m that weirdo......
Season Finale!! Whoop whoop. Can’t lie, I’ll be happy to get my Monday nights back to watch The Bachelorette work on my life goals. We begin with a brief recap of your Top 3: Carl, Jonathan and Trevor. Let’s go Jonathan!...
Signs of summer: 1. I purchased two tub chairs, a little table and some snap-on tiles for my balcony, which previously resembled a jail cell. 2. I’ve started thinking about S’MORES again....
Alright, here it is. Strawberry Jell-O Salad. I’ve been eagerly awaiting this day. This odd little concoction consists of three layers of the following (from the bottom): 1. Crushed pretzel crust, with butter and brown sugar 2. Creamy filling, with cream cheese, sugar and whipped cream 3. Strawberry Jell-O, with sliced strawberries...
Homemade pesto with fresh basil is one of the simple foodie joys of summer, in my humble opinion. I’ve jumped the gun a little this year, because I found a huge bag of bright green, beautiful basil leaves at my grocery store last month. Still a little early for local basil, but this did the......
Straight to the Quickfire this week everyone, and I have to say I’m pretty excited there’s only one more episode left after this. Lisa’s in the Top Chef Kitchen with Mark Thuet and his business/life partner Biana. They own Petit Thuet (Real Talk: the macarons I bought there ages ago were stale). Anyway, cheftestants have......
