I loathe microwave popcorn. I ate so much of it when I lived in a dorm in university that I developed an aversion to it. Someone was always popping up a bag in the kitchen, and it permanently smelled like artificial butter and burned popcorn. Oh yes, we had to evacuate on more than one occasion because someone......
This recap is going to be a little light on food details, because I was rolling out sugar cookies for a baking project as the second half of the episode aired. I also contemplated giving up these recaps because I feel like no one is watching, as evidenced by the lack of Final 5 picks......
For the past three years, Spring for me has been defined by the appearance of rhubarb in the farmer’s market near my house. It throws me into a frenzy, because it’s only in season for a short amount of time, and there are always so many recipes I want to make with this weird little vegetable. So when......
Lisa Ray was a hot topic around our Easter dinner table this weekend. My family has some strong opinions about her non-Padma-ness, but the consensus was that she’s just trying way too hard. I mean, some of it isn’t her problem though. Someone’s writing these horrible puns she has to say at the end of......
Perhaps one day I’ll be the “you should make this” type of blogger; the kind who has all their holiday treats prepped, photographed and blogged in the week or two leading up to an event. This is so not me (obviously) as I’m usually posting my holiday baking projects after the fact. So I guess I’m......
Ah, homemade marshmallow. I love you so much, but you never work out for me. Last summer I had two pretty epic marshmallow failures on a couple of s’mores projects (cupcakes + pie), so I was a little nervous going into this week’s Baked Sunday Morning selection....
Here we go with Episode 4 you guys! There’s only two girls left after Sarah’s elimination last week, and Trista and Elizabeth both feel the pressure (very similar to Connie and Andrea last season after Rebekah’s early exit). David is upset he was on the bottom last week, and hasn’t been cooking up to his......
This week on the Joy the Baker Podcast, Joy & Tracy gave us some homework, which was to write about five of our favourite things right now! Here’s a glimpse into what I’m obsessed with lately:...
The weather in the GTA is driving me nuts right now. Two weeks ago, we had some super sunny warm weather, it was 80° in my condo, and you best believe I wore my flip flops to the grocery store. I also took the bold step of moving my winter coats to the far side......
If Slutty Brownies are labelled as such because they’re easy, filthy and a lil’ bit dirty (and made from mixes), what shall we call a homemade version? They require a little more time (hard-to-get?), are made from scratch (wholesome?), and take themselves a little bit more seriously (uptight?)....
