April 29, 2012 Cookies Just a few quick posts today to log some of my baking projects from last week. Nicole’s parents celebrated their 50th wedding anniversary (amazing) and I made these cookie favours for everyone to take home from their party.  Read the full article →

April 24, 2012 Top Chef Canada Look you guys, I’m no Veronica Mars.  But if two IP address traces, a promise from both my brothers that this is not prank, and a cross-reference to Twitter, are all correct, Richard BLAIS is my new best friend (check the comments)! If you don’t know about the BLAIS, he’s the […]

April 17, 2012 Top Chef Canada This recap is going to be a little light on food details, because I was rolling out sugar cookies for a baking project as the second half of the episode aired. I also contemplated giving up these recaps because I feel like no one is watching, as evidenced by […]

April 1, 2012 Beef & Pork The weather in the GTA is driving me nuts right now. Two weeks ago, we had some super sunny warm weather, it was 80° in my condo, and you best believe I wore my flip flops to the grocery store. I also took the bold step of moving my […]

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, […]

April 9, 2012 Cookies Perhaps one day I’ll be the “you should make this” type of blogger; the kind who has all their holiday treats prepped, photographed and blogged in the week or two leading up to an event. This is so not me (obviously) as I’m usually posting my holiday baking projects after the fact. […]

April 25, 2012 Salads This post is brought to you by good old-fashioned nosiness, one of the cornerstones of the blogosphere in my opinion. Learning that Gaby is Jessica Simpson’s personal chef lead me to a flurry of clicks around her site, trying to gain more intel on what Jessica eats on a daily basis. […]

April 8, 2012 Baked Sunday Mornings Ah, homemade marshmallow. I love you so much, but you never work out for me. Last summer I had two pretty epic marshmallow failures on a couple of s’mores projects (cupcakes + pie), so I was a little nervous going into this week’s Baked Sunday Morning selection. Read the full […]

March 29, 2012 Bars & Squares   If Slutty Brownies are labelled as such because they’re easy, filthy and a lil’ bit dirty (and made from mixes), what shall we call a homemade version? They require a little more time (hard-to-get?), are made from scratch (wholesome?), and take themselves a little bit more seriously (uptight?). Read the full […]

April 3, 2012 Top Chef Canada Here we go with Episode 4 you guys! There’s only two girls left after Sarah’s elimination last week, and Trista and Elizabeth both feel the pressure (very similar to Connie and Andrea last season after Rebekah’s early exit). David is upset he was on the bottom last week, and […]

May 28, 2012 Uncategorized Over on this page, my west-coast BFF Danielle and I have been busy baking our way through the Joy the Baker cookbook! We just hit our 25th recipe (out of 100) so we thought it was time for a little quarterly report.   Recipes Baked Total – 25 (Danielle – 14 […]

April 19, 2012 Uncategorized I loathe microwave popcorn. I ate so much of it when I lived in a dorm in university that I developed an aversion to it. Someone was always popping up a bag in the kitchen, and it permanently smelled like artificial butter and burned popcorn. Oh yes, we had to evacuate on more than […]
