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 […]
las vegas — What's Cooking on Planet Byn
October 4, 2010 Bakeries & Restaurants Kristine and I headed to Vegas for a little vacation at the end of August. Most people hit The Strip to drink and gamble, but we went to relax, shop, sit by the pool, and of course, eat. When you try to describe the amazing meals you’ve had in […]

October 8, 2010 Bakeries & Restaurants To finish off Vegas week here on Planet Byn, we’ll have a quick wrap-up of the rest of our eats: BLT Burger (Mirage): Any restaurant with four kinds of fries is alright with me (fat, skinny and waffle cut, as well as sweet potato). You can also get spiked […]

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 […]

Red Velvet Whoopie Pies — What's Cooking on Planet Byn
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 friend Deb, and I […]

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 […]

booze — What's Cooking on Planet Byn
July 24, 2014 Cocktails Last week, our Gastropost Mission was all about Perfect Pairings. Obviously you can see where this is going! Here on Planet Byn, there is no better summer pairing than Strawberry & Rhubarb. If they were a celebrity couple we’d call them Strubarb. Or Rhuberry. I can’t decide which one I like […]
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 […]
