February 24, 2019 Baked Sunday Mornings We had a big fundraising event at work last week, and the following day, an email went out about some leftover items for sale. I wasn’t really interested until I saw the last line: LEMONS AND LIMES FREE TO A GOOD HOME. I remembered this Lemon Lemon Loaf was […]

October 31, 2014 Monthly Recaps October is always a packed month for me, with Thanksgiving, my birthday and Halloween, plus this month I had trips to NYC & Vancouver in the mix as well, so there was a lot going on. Besides my favourite baking project of the year, I didn’t get up to that […]

July 31, 2015 Monthly Recaps After a low-key start to the summer, things really kicked into high gear over here. July felt long, hot and full of fun. Here’s what was happening on the foodie front: The Food Blogger Mafia descended on Taste of Toronto and unleashed a high degree of food snobbery all up in […]

June 21, 2018 Cocktails Last Summer, I was obsessed with Frosé, and documented my trials extensively here. By the time I figured out the best way to make it, Summer was over and I had no use for my new skills. Well, Summer’s back in full effect and I only have one goal*: TURN EVERY […]

February 14, 2018 Cheesecake Three years after I made it, I still think about this Cherry Chip Cake all the time. Some combination of nostalgia for the boxed cake mix from when I was little, plus the colour, plus the fact that it’s just totally delicious, means I dream about it on fairly regular basis. […]

March 25, 2011 Blog-iversary As my 1st blog-iversary approached, I knew I would use it as an excuse to get to some long-drooled-over recipes. At first I had my heart set on this Sweet and Salty Cake, but after Leianne’s birthday cupcakes, I thought I might be over the whole chocolate/salted caramel thing.  Then I […]

July 26, 2016 Cakes, Cupcakes & Icing I haven’t really done that much baking this month, as evidence by my lack of posts. I’ve been busy outside the kitchen, and also it is so. freaking. hot. I did make a couple of pretty amazing layer cakes in June and July, so I wanted to document […]

March 27, 2015 Cookies My lovely friend Aoife is getting married this May, and we celebrated her wedding shower a few weeks ago. I offered to bring treats, and they needed to be both gluten-free and dairy-free for the bride-to-be. After consulting my Oh She Glows cookbook, a few other websites, and remembering what I […]

May 22, 2018 Travel Way back in 2011, Joy the Baker and Tracy Shutterbean hosted a retreat in Palm Springs called Homefries U. It was named after their podcast that I listened to every week. This was before I had an iPhone, so when I say I listened to it, I mean I would drag […]

October 22, 2015 Bars & Squares I feel like you often hear that it’s hard to make friends as an adult. I haven’t really found this to be the case, but I work in a huge company and have switched departments twice in the past three years, so have had the chance to meet a […]

December was totally crazy with holiday parties, dinners with friends, preparing for Champagne & Cookies and getting ready for Christmas. I’ll hit you with the highlights: I had a catch-up dinner at Trevor with my friend Heather, and we ordered all the bar snacks, my favourite of which was the buffalo fried cauliflower with dill […]

Photo from Food Network Website Season Finale!! Whoop whoop. Can’t lie, I’ll be happy to get my Monday nights back to watch The Bachelorette work on my life goals. We begin with a brief recap of your Top 3: Carl, Jonathan and Trevor. Let’s go Jonathan! Mark and Lisa are in the Top Chef Kitchen. […]

April 10, 2018 Bread A few years ago, I was invited to a YEASTER party, and had such a good time that I knew one day I would steal this idea for a celebration of my own! I was sort of boycotting all Easter gatherings this year due to a stressful time in my work life, […]

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. There were two main reasons I decided to tackle […]
