S’mores Crème Brûlée

February 27, 2012 Pies, Tarts & Pudding

Do you remember what you were doing on January 2, 2010? I don’t, but evidently I was bookmarking this recipe for S’mores Crème Brûlée. In my ongoing effort to work my way through my age old favourites folder, I decided to make these for my Oscar gathering last night.

Slutty Brownies

February 25, 2012 Brownies & Blondies

I feel pretty confident telling you that this is the first, last, and only time you’ll see something on Planet Byn made with mixes. (With the possible exception of Mila’s 1st Birthday Smash Cake in a few weeks, but no one’s going to actually eat that, so I feel it’s justified). (Oops and those Red […]

White Chocolate & Pretzel Peanut Butter Cookies

February 19, 2012 Cookies

After Champagne & Cookies, I’m usually cookie-ed out for a while, but I broke my hiatus for this delicious treat. I was happy to make this recipe because I had it bookmarked on both my work computer and personal laptop; so I got double the satisfaction because I got to delete it twice. This has been […]

2nd Blog-iversary!!

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 viewed posts, then my […]

Baked Sunday Mornings: Chocolate Whoopie Pies

February 13, 2012 Baked Sunday Mornings

Let’s talk Whoopie Pies! The previous two versions I’ve blogged about were both from Baked: Red Velvet and Pumpkin, both with cream cheese filling. I was interested in trying these ones mostly because of the filling, a Swiss Vanilla Meringue Icing that I’ve always been too intimidated to try before.

Soft Pretzels 1.0

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 had a eight hour layover […]

Buffalo Wing Hummus + Superbowl Snacks

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 on the sidelines, and […]

Whole Wheat Goldfish Crackers

February 2, 2012 Uncategorized

Look it’s another seafood post! Not really, just some cheese straws rolled out and cut into little fishie crackers. I saw this idea on Smitten Kitchen a year ago, and of course picked up a fish cookie cutter the next time I was at Bulk Barn. So it took me a little longer than expected […]
