When it comes to Summertime baking, I usually only have one thing on my mind: S’mores. The S’mores archive is deep here on Planet Byn, but I actually have two more things to add it to this year. First up is this S’mores Cheesecake that has been on my to-bake list FOREVER! I thought our......
I first made this pie six years ago to bring to a BBQ at my friend Libby’s house, and have been thinking about it every summer since! I finally re-made it to bring to another BBQ with my friends Krishna & Weedy, using freshly picked strawberries from Stonehaven Farms. It was both the best looking......
Here’s another recipe from Baked: New Frontiers in Baking that I’ve never made before! This is a pretty straightforward muffin recipe, with a couple of extra steps involved to zest/juice an orange and grind some almonds in the food processor. I ended up being really surprised by these; they’re super fresh and light for summer.......
I first made these fudgesicles all the way back in 2010! But in the spirit of Summer and Baked Sunday Mornings, I gave them another shot this week. This is a basically a frozen pudding pop, with the addition of some espresso powder. I was curious to see what would happen if I substituted the......
With both peach season and my funemployment coming to an end, I decided to go out with a bang and make Joy the Baker’s Peach Cobbler Cinnamon Rolls. This was a perfect baking project for the day before I started my new job. Lots of steps that can be worked on little by little throughout......
I enjoyed my Pink Lemonade Popsicles so much earlier this summer that I decided to try another ice pop recipe, and a boozy one at that. This popsicle is another simple mixture of just a handful of ingredients: fresh peaches, a bit of sugar and lemon juice and a cup of rosé. My only note is......
Does everyone out there know about FUNEMPLOYMENT?  I’m sure there are a few definitions, but for my purposes, funemployment is the space of time between finishing at one job and starting at a new one, when you have no responsibilities and can totally luxuriate in your jobless state, but with the safety net of knowing that......
I had so many fun summer cocktails saved to try this summer, and I just never seemed to get it together to make them*. Now that I’m thinking about it, each of them had a lot of different components, and they all violated my friend Weedy’s rules for a Signature Summer Cocktail: it must be easy......
It’s been a minute since I’ve made anything with cherries – fresh cherries that is, not that faux cherry chip goodness. I normally just like to eat baskets of them during the short stone fruit season, but Tracy Shutterbean posted these Cherry Pie Crumble Bars on her Instagram and I though I’d given them a try.......
While my favourite summer fruits are strawberries and peaches, blueberries take a bronze medal just because they’re so low maintenance. All they need is a quick rinse and they’re good to go, which I love (although I do find hulling strawberries oddly therapeutic). I saw this Blueberry Pecan Galette on Bon Appetit last summer and......
