Our friend Christina is having a baby, and of course we’re having virtual baby shower to celebrate! Christina is expecting another boy in November, and he’s sure to be a heartbreaker just like his big brother. When Christina and her husband Simon found out that they were having a boy, their cutie pie Timothy suggested......
We had a big day here on Planet Byn last week. After exercising remarkable restraint for a whole month, I brought treats into my new office for the first time. Based on some life advice from my baking spirit guide (Danielle: “You can’t show up on the first day with a six-layer cake”), I decided......
For our second recipe of Janelle week, we’re having S’mores Rice Krispie Squares. I’m a sucker for anything involving the holy trinity of milk chocolate, graham and toasted marshmallow, and so is Janelle. I made these for two reasons: 1) She was mad at me because I got a new job and will be transferring......
Bale Bars. Otherwise known as: No-Bake White Chocolate Caramel Peanut Butter Pretzel Bars. That’s a lot going on for this simple looking bar. They’re incredibly sweet, and I have to admit I’m not sold. I feel like they would be a better combined with something else; maybe layered on top of brownies (like these), or......
I showed an amazing amount of restraint by not bringing any treats into the office for the whole month. I was a little baked out after the holidays, plus people usually aren’t that excited to see baked goods when they’re on their January detox/cleanse/whatever. All that came to an end this week when I brought......
It’s coming. Christmas cookie season. Time to make Pinterest boards, hoard butter, sign-up for cookie exchanges and send out a Save the Date for Champagne & Cookies IV. I can’t wait! Truth be told, I’ve been working on my Christmas cookie list since September, but don’t worry about that. I still have a few Fall......
After another brief six-month hiatus, I’m BACK on Baked Sunday Mornings! And I picked the perfect recipe to join back in on! A super simple, no bake, sugar explosion called Good Morning Sunshine Bars. These bars are just Chex cereal (Side note: I was convinced this was an American cereal that I wouldn’t be able to......
My go-to topic of of conversation for awkward co-worker/job interview/elevator situations is the weather. I have about 3984692 different ways to comment on it or complaint about it, and it saves me everytime. I love it. I can also branch off into fashion/accessory topics and anecdotes (rainboots, forgetting an umbrella, losing mittens or sunglasses) and health/lifestyle issues (humidity headaches,......
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......
Here’s the second treat I made for the Friendsgiving Feast, because you know I can’t just stop at one. Of course, we were all full by the time we got through our pie, so I ended up wrapping these up for everyone to take home....
