Zucchini Bread

August 20, 2019 Cakes, Cupcakes & Icing

I have spent this entire month trying to convince myself that I like zucchini. I’ve always passed it off as just the worst vegetable because it’s slimy and doesn’t even taste like anything. The only way I’ve liked it in the past was in Smitten’s Zucchini Carpaccio, or maybe thrown in these noodles when I […]

Baklava Babka

For the past 5 or 6 years, my friend Danielle has been making me the cutest Christmas gift: a calendar with pictures of all the treats I made throughout the year. It makes me so happy, and now that I have a cubicle again, it has a prominent spot on my wall. When I turned […]

Now that my wedding cake experience is over, I hope to have a bit more baking time to get back into the swing of Baked Sunday Mornings! I may go back and post a few things to catch up, but for now, consider this my first recipe back. I made these Chipotle Cheddar Biscuits way back in […]

Post Bake Babka

And now presenting my favourite baking project so far in 2018: Chocolate Babka! I know I’m not the only person who first learned about Babka from Seinfeld (“You can’t beat a babka!”), and was reintroduced to it when I started reading Smitten Kitchen ten years ago. It’s a yeasted bread with a rich chocolate filling that […]

YEASTER 2018

April 10, 2018 Bread
Set up

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, so the timing was […]

Rosemary Olive Oil Rolls

Rosemary Rolls

Let’s recap this Oscar feast so far, shall we? First up was our red carpet snack, the Goat Cheese Spread with Garlic & Fresh Herbs. Then, the star dish, Beef Bourguignon, accompanied by My Favourite Mashed Potatoes and my house salad (kale, apple, parm, pecans and a honey dijon vinaigrette). Since I had fresh rosemary leftover […]

Pumpkin Cinnamon Swirl Bread

I’ve really been trying to attack my Pumpkin Pinterest board this Fall, and this Pumpkin Cinnamon Swirl Bread has been my white whale. It’s not really something you can throw together at 10pm (my usual baking time these days), so I needed a day with no plans to make it happen. And a couple of […]

Chorizo Chili

Ever so slowly, we’re creeping our way toward Spring over here. I’ve downgraded from my DEFCON 1 parka to a lighter coat, and have shoved my winter boots to the back of the closet. I still wanted to get a couple more cold weather dishes in, so I busted out this chili last weekend. Five […]

Brioche Burger Buns

These burger buns have been my white whale. Even though I feel like I’ve conquered my fear of yeast over the past five years, for some reason, this recipe has given me nothing but frustration the handful of times I’ve tried it. But I didn’t give up! I finally had success with it over the […]

Baked Pumpkin Cinnamon Rolls

So I have actually made Pumpkin Cinnamon Rolls before, but as if I would pass up a chance to try the Baked boys’ recipe! I don’t need that much of an excuse to make spiced, carby goodness, and I mixed these up last weekend, which was Thanksgiving up here in the great white north. This […]
