I’ve been inspired by my friend Carole to do a round-up of the various food-related goings-on in my life for July, aside from what you see here in my blog posts. See, I actually had a social life in July after a huge project at work launched at the beginning of the month, so that’s very exciting. […]

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 […]

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 […]

Today we’re celebrating Martha Stewart’s birthday with a classic yellow cake/chocolate icing combination from Baked Occasions. Matt has a deep love for Martha which he writes about in the book, and while I wouldn’t consider myself a disciple, I can appreciate her domestic goddess-ness and attention to detail. This recipe is very straightforward, and I […]

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 reading the Baked boys intro to […]

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 […]

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 […]
