July 5, 2015 Baked Sunday Mornings Our Baked Sunday Morning project for this week was an Orange Buttermilk Picnic Cake with Chocolate Chips to celebrate the Fourth of July. The idea behind it is that it’s a single layer, easily transportable, sturdy cake that would be perfect to bring along to a picnic. I loved […]

Baked Sunday Mornings: Icebox Cupcakes with Homemade Chocolate Cookies — What's Cooking on Planet Byn
Like so many other things in my foodie life, I had never heard of an Icebox Cake until I saw it on Smitten Kitchen a few years ago. The idea behind it is that you stack up chocolate wafer cookies with whipped cream, and let the whole thing set in the fridge overnight. The cookies […]
1st Blog-iversary! — What's Cooking on Planet Byn
Happy Blog-iversary to me! I can’t believe it’s been one year and 97 posts (!) since I started Planet Byn! I love my little blog so much, and want to thank you for reading and supporting me over the past year (and eating the benefits!). I’m actually in Halifax for work right now, but I’ll be having a […]
Vanilla Bean Caramel Apples & Halloween Candy Bark — What's Cooking on Planet Byn
Caramel makes me nervous because of a few bad experiences in my baking past, where things that were supposed to be gooey and chewy ended up with the consistency of something you could break a tooth on. Armed with a candy thermometer and healthy dose of patience, I made these last weekend as a Halloween […]

Attention everyone! Baked Occasions is out today!!! This is the 4th book by Matt Lewis and Renato Poliafito, who I affectionately refer to as the Baked Boys. I recipe tested for this book, and thought this would be a good chance to talk a bit about my experience. As you know, I’ve been a part […]
hydrated — What's Cooking on Planet Byn
August 3, 2015 Drinks So it’s August, and I’m still on rhubarb over here. I know that blueberries, cherries and peaches are waiting for me, so I’ve decided that this is the last week for rhubarb in my kitchen. I made some strawberry rhubarb jam yesterday, am working on a rhubarb recipe today that I’ve […]

General — What's Cooking on Planet Byn — Page 2
May 29, 2013 Breakfast I have complicated feelings towards brunch, and I believe they date back to 1998-2002 in Waterloo, Ontario and a little joint called Mel’s Diner. Mel’s was the ideal place to feed your hangover on Sunday morning and for $2.99 you got a greasy plate of bacon or sausage, toast, eggs […]

Rhubarb Cream Cheese Hand Pies — What's Cooking on Planet Byn
Sometimes I have a moment when I see a new recipe and I’m like omgineedtomakethisrightaway and I can’t stop thinking about it. This becomes a problem when dealing with seasonal fruit, and rhubarb in particular, because if you don’t drop everything and make it right away, you’ll have to wait like a year for your […]

Guess what? I finally finished making everything on my Summer Baking To-Do List! What’s that you say? The list is from 2010? Better late than never! Peach Hand Pies are essentially summer wrapped up into one neat little tidy package. Of course, this package is one that requires a clean kitchen, lots of patience, […]
