December 17, 2010 Cookies I have strong views on certain baking related topics, and thank goodness I have this blog now, because I can rant about them as much as I want. So I have issues with the whole Red Velvet thing. This is mostly under the influence of my real-life friend Danielle, and my pretend […]

Montreal Eats: Best of the Rest — What's Cooking on Planet Byn
Of course, while in Montreal, you must eat Montreal Smoked Meat. This has scared me to this point in my life, because I never really knew what was happening there. Why was the meat pink? It scares a person such as myself who only likes an itty bitty bit of pink in her steak. But […]
Baked Sunday Mornings: Nonnie’s Blueberry Buckle — What's Cooking on Planet Byn
We’re at the tail-end of blueberry season where I live, so this week’s assignment is just in time! This is another one of the recipes I tested for Baked Occasions about two years ago, but I was happy to make it again. Santa also brought me a new tube pan last December, so I was […]

Vegas Eats: Dos Caminos (Palazzo) — What's Cooking on Planet Byn
I have had the best luck with restaurants in the Palazzo hotel. Last year, my besties and I dined at Lavo for my 30th birthday, and we had just the most amazing dinner there, followed by free drinks in the lounge, and dancing upstairs in the club. On this trip to Vegas, Kristine and I […]
Anna Olson’s Pumpkin Pie: October Recipe Testing — What's Cooking on Planet Byn
Every month on Anna Olson’s Facebook page, she posts a new, yet-to-be published recipe, and invites her fans to test it out. This Pumpkin Pie was the first one I tried, just in time for Thanksgiving last weekend. I’ve never been a huge Pumpkin Pie fan, but I’ve started experimenting with pumpkin in baking […]

Vegas Eats: ‘wichcraft (MGM) — What's Cooking on Planet Byn
I seem to have a pop culture blind spot when it comes to Top Chef. I’ve never watched it before, even though it seems like the perfect show for foodies. The only reason I know who Tom Colicchio is, is because Deb talked about him in a post about a sandwich. So let’s refer to a reality TV […]
