I really haven’t been able to keep up with the Baked Sunday Mornings crew this year, which makes me quite sad. Now that things have settled down with my work life, hopefully I can get back on track. Plus I have a whole new group of recipe tasters/testers to impress! And here we have the......

I wrote the other day about how much I loved the Netflix movie To All The Boys I’ve Loved Before, and this summer I also read the book, plus it’s two sequels. You don’t really see it too much in the movie, but in the books, a huge part of Lara Jean’s life is that......

I’m currently facing a disaster of epic proportions at my job: my new team does not eat baked goods. And I’m not talking about the one person who’s gluten-free, the one that’s lactose intolerant, or the other one that’s doing an elimination diet. I’ll bring tasty treats to our weekly team meeting, and maybe three......

My friend Kristine and her family are die-hard Eagles fans, so when their team made it to the Super Bowl this year, stakes were high. For me that is, because she ordered up a dozen cupcakes for their Super Bowl party, that needed to be “midnight green and say Fly Eagles Fly”. So much pressure! Not......

Smitten Kitchen has a new cookbook out! I’ve really tried to curtail my cookbook acquisitions over the last couple of years, but obviously I needed to have this one. I bought it when I went to see Deb on her cookbook tour back in October. She didn’t do an interview or Q&A like last time,......

Yes, we all agree that Pumpkin Spice-flavoured things have jumped the shark, and everyone is over it. I propose that we now move on to Chai Spice in our baked goods! It’s still in the same cinnamon/ginger/nutmeg family, but with a few additions: cardamom, cloves, allspice and black pepper. I love drinking hot chai during the......

We’re getting back to basics with this week’s Baked Sunday Morning recipe: the original Baked recipe for Peanut Butter Cookies. I’m actually pretty partial to this peanut butter cookie recipe as my go-to, but I’m always open to trying something new. This recipe meets my main cookie criteria: slightly crispy edges, but soft and chewy......

My favourite thing to bake lately has been cute little 6″ birthday cakes. This is no doubt due to the endless cake decorating videos I’ve been watching on Instagram (faves: @chelsweets,  @whippedcakeco, @bakingwithblondie, @karleeskupcakes). Making mini versions has been a great way to practice a few specific things (i.e. using a bench scraper to get smooth......

I can’t believe we’re down to the last few recipes in Baked Occasions! Most of them are cookie recipes since the Baked Boys included a “12 Days of Cookies” section for Christmas, and we need to catch up. This week we mixed up these Peanut Butter Butterscotch Cookies, which are just a straightforward peanut butter......

I already have an Oatmeal Chocolate Chip Cookie recipe that I love, but I was still looking forward to trying the Baked Occasions version this week. This is a pretty standard cookie recipe, with a few exceptions: Instead of adding the rolled oats whole, you grind the majority of them up in a food processor first......
