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?)....

Every once in a while I cook something at home that is so delicious, I have to give myself a little pat on the back. It doesn’t happen all that frequently, but this was one of those dinners that I was just so proud of, and couldn’t wait to blog about, not to mention make......

Even though I love peanut butter, this is something I wasn’t super interested in trying from Baked Explorations. I think it has something to do with the fact that it’s one of the recipes in the book without a picture. I love to have a visual of something before I make it, which is why......

I know, I know, who wants to hear about bran muffins, right? But here’s the thing, I’ve been working so much the last few weeks there just hasn’t really been time for any fun baking projects. This morning I realized I hadn’t posted in almost two weeks and I didn’t even have anything to blog about.......

Do you remember what you were doing on January 2, 2010? I don’t, but evidently I was bookmarking this recipe for S’mores Crème Brûlée. In my ongoing effort to work my way through my age old favourites folder, I decided to make these for my Oscar gathering last night....

I feel pretty confident telling you that this is the first, last, and only time you’ll see something on Planet Byn made with mixes. (With the possible exception of Mila’s 1st Birthday Smash Cake in a few weeks, but no one’s going to actually eat that, so I feel it’s justified). (Oops and those Red......

After Champagne & Cookies, I’m usually cookie-ed out for a while, but I broke my hiatus for this delicious treat. I was happy to make this recipe because I had it bookmarked on both my work computer and personal laptop; so I got double the satisfaction because I got to delete it twice. This has been......

  This post has nothing to do with baking, and everything to do with Whitney Houston. Just a warning up front.  ...

  Let’s talk Whoopie Pies! The previous two versions I’ve blogged about were both from Baked: Red Velvet and Pumpkin, both with cream cheese filling. I was interested in trying these ones mostly because of the filling, a Swiss Vanilla Meringue Icing that I’ve always been too intimidated to try before....
