Peanut Butter Bacon Pancakes

January 9, 2014 Breakfast
Peanut Butter Bacon Pancakes

It’s hard enough to return to work post-holiday vacation bliss, but do we really need a POLAR VORTEX to make things more difficult? It was -40 here yesterday, which makes it just a little bit harder to deal with life, especially under 526 layers of clothes (tights, long janes, yoga pants, hoodie, puffy coat, scarf, […]

Butternut Squash Gratin, Savoury Bacon Biscuits + Thanksgiving 2013

October 21, 2013 Bread
Butternut Squash Gratin

Taking a look back in my archives it seems like I only contribute dessert to Thanksgiving dinner, so I’m making sure to blog about the sides I brought this year, because they were AMAZING. The thing with my family is that they just want the regulars around the table, and are sometimes suspicious when […]

Banana Bourbon Pancakes {Gastropost Mission #52}

May 29, 2013 Breakfast
Banana Bourbon Pancakes {Planet Byn}

I have complicated feelings towards brunch, and I believe they date back to 1998-2002 in Waterloo, Ontario and a little joint called Mel’s Diner. Mel’s was the ideal place to feed your hangover on Sunday morning and for $2.99 you got a greasy plate of bacon or sausage, toast, eggs and homefries (or Mel’s […]

Oatmeal Raisin Bacon Cookies

Obviously this Bacon Mission was a mission in two parts for me, as I had to try to incorporate it into some form of baked good. I’ve made Peanut Butter Bacon Cookies twice in the past without success. For the first batch I roasted the bacon in the oven, and didn’t like how it was […]

Chicken & Bacon Pot Pie

Our Gastropost Mission this week started as a joke on Facebook, after they asked us to guess the next ______ vs. ______ Mission. Someone guessed Bacon vs. Everything Else, and they loved it so much it became the Mission for the week. I love it! The vs. Missions are my favourite, and I love a […]

Faux Fried Chicken & Brown Sugar Bacon Waffles

January 19, 2012 Chicken & Turkey

It’s been well documented that I love awards shows over here on Planet Byn, and that I consider the Golden Globes to be the Superbowl of award season. Of course, delicious eats are in order to watch the red carpet and ponder the reasons why Jessica Biel decided to wear her great-great-great-great grandmother’s wedding dress.

Maple Bacon Cornmeal Waffles

June 11, 2011 Breakfast

Every once in a while I like to bust out my waffle iron for a lazy Sunday morning treat. I wanted a waffle maker for the longest time, and then my Mom’s best friend gave me one for Christmas! Amazing! It’s been a bit of trial and error to find a good recipe, and this […]

Stuffed Mushrooms + Mother’s Day Dinner

June 1, 2011 Appetizers

I realize Mother’s Day was three weeks ago, but I’ve got a bit of a blogging backlog going on right now, due to some technical difficulties that left me internet-less at home for the last few weeks. Quick shout-out to my brother for fixing things up; he was thanked with the rest of the Cowboy […]

Sour Lemon Scones & Birthday Dinner

October 24, 2010 Muffins & Scones

I have this thing about snooty hostesses who work in restaurants. It fills me with rage that I find hard to get over. I just can’t handle these people who think they’re god’s gift to the food service industry. So last Friday when I called to make a reservation at a restaurant in my new ‘hood for […]
