June 3, 2012 Baked Sunday Mornings Alright, here it is. Strawberry Jell-O Salad. I’ve been eagerly awaiting this day. This odd little concoction consists of three layers of the following (from the bottom): 1. Crushed pretzel crust, with butter and brown sugar 2. Creamy filling, with cream cheese, sugar and whipped cream 3. Strawberry Jell-O, with […]

You may recall I was full of rage perturbed on Mother’s Day when I couldn’t find rhubarb in time to make this dessert. So obvs I made it for Father’s Day instead! Let’s make this very clear: this is one for the rhubarb lovers of the world. The rhubarb isn’t diced into little pieces like […]

June 11, 2012 Brownies & Blondies Big changes in the Byn-osphere over the past few weeks. I left my department of almost ten years and transferred to a new one within the same company. It’s a pretty major life change for me. I’m doing something totally different, and I feel refreshed and excited for the […]

It’s official. I’ve reached the end of the internet when it comes to rhubarb recipes. I was waiting for Smitten Kitchen to post something new this year, but nothing popped up, so maybe she feels the same way. The very first rhubarb recipe I posted was in the first year of Planet Byn, back in […]

June 5, 2012 S’mores Signs of summer: 1. I purchased two tub chairs, a little table and some snap-on tiles for my balcony, which previously resembled a jail cell. 2. I’ve started thinking about S’MORES again. Read the full article →

RHUBARB week rolls on over here with a foxy little drink I’ve been making for a few summers now. Fellow rhubarb lover Gwendolyn posted this recipe a couple of years ago, and it has the best story behind it (her grandmother’s nickname was Foxy Lady!). I can’t believe I haven’t posted this until now. You make a […]

June 24, 2016 Sauces, Dressings, Dips & Salsas I’m boldly going where no Planet Byn recipe has gone before today: a savoury rhubarb recipe. I tried to make a rhubarb chutney once and it was a disaster, so I’ve given other savoury rhubarb recipes the side eye ever since. Rhubarb barbecue sauce? No thanks. Raw […]

I am obsessed with cookie dough; it’s my most favourite treat. I thought my co-workers should experience the joy of guilt-free eggless chocolate chip cookie dough, so I made this during my last week to share with them. Pretty simple, just a brownie layer on the bottom topped with the dough. I’ve had this bookmarked […]

February 20, 2014 Cakes, Cupcakes & Icing Food Network Canada has started showing Barefoot Contessa episodes again on Sunday mornings at 10am, and I just can’t get enough. After Anna Olson’s show Sugar, BC was my #2 obsession when I started watching Food Network over 10 years ago. I loved everything about Ina: her house, […]

I wrote last week about how I wasn’t finding Ontario peaches up to their normal juicy, delicious standards this summer, but I still had one more thing I wanted to make with them. This galette was the perfect way to coax out their sweetness, mixing them with honey and a little bit of bourbon, all […]

February 16, 2012 Blog-iversary Whoop whoop! This little blog turns 2 today! This is also my 200th post (pure coincidence, I swear)! It’s been another super fun year of blogging, and I’m just as obsessed now as when I first started. I thought we would do a run down similar to last year with most […]

February 9, 2012 Bread Cinnamon sugar soft pretzels from Auntie Anne’s are one of the small joys of my life. One of the only upsides to getting a connecting flight vs. direct through the states, is that I get to have one as my layover snack, which is just lovely. (Except you Miami International, wtf?! I […]

Back in the Fall, I began tackling recipes that had been loitering in my Favourites folder for way too long (cough Oatmeal Cream Cheese Butterscotch Bars cough). Then Christmas Cookie season took over, and there wasn’t really any extra time for this little project, and it got put on hold. I’m back with a vengeance with a […]

February 4, 2012 Appetizers   Disclaimer: I’ve never actually watched the Superbowl. However, since I watched the entire Friday Night Lights series on DVD last year, I feel like I could watch tomorrow and have at least half a clue as to what’s going on. But since there’s no Tim Riggins on the field, no Coach […]
