Baked Sunday Mornings: Gingersnaps with Lemon Sugar

January 18, 2015 Baked Sunday Mornings
Gingersnaps with Lemon Sugar

Gingersnaps really aren’t my favourite type of cookie, and I don’t necessarily reach for citrus desserts, but I decided to give this week’s Baked Sunday Morning recipe a try anyway. I was mostly motivated by the fact that this is a one bowl, one spatula recipe, and it was really quick to mix up. The […]

Baked Sunday Mornings: Cinnamon Spritz Cookies

Cinnamon Spritz Cookies

I’m pretty picky when it comes to cinnamon. I tend to only really love it in warm, cozy fall recipes with pumpkin and apple (SOON!). I don’t really like it paired with chocolate, I’ll never add it to a savoury recipe, and my most hated cookie of all time is the dreaded Snickerdoodle. So I […]

Baked Sunday Mornings: Easy Candy Bar Tart

Easy Candy Bar Tart

As much as I love baking my way through Baked Elements with the Baked Sunday Morning team, I noticed something strange today. Everything we’ve been making from this book lately has been brown or beige. There’s nothing wrong with that as it usually means chocolate or caramel is involved, but it’s a such a contrast […]

Baked Sunday Mornings: Banana Whoopie Pies

Banana Whoopie Pies

I think I’ve made every whoopie pie recipe that the Baked boys have included in their previous cookbooks. I made the Red Velvet ones for my sister-in-law back in 2010, the Pumpkin version as part of Thanksgiving dessert in 2011, and the Chocolate Whoopie Pies in 2012. Guess 2013 was a Whoopie Pie free year, but […]

Chocolate Caramel Corn Cookies {Gastropost Mission #93}

Chocolate Caramel Corn Cookies

When I first saw our Mission for this week, Screen Snacks, there was only one thing that came to mind: POPCORN. My go-to snack when I go to the movies is always popcorn — I’ve never been a Swedish Berry or a M&Ms girl. Give me a big bag of popcorn with one of those […]

Banana Chocolate Chip Biscotti {Gastropost Mission #83}

Banana Chocolate Chip Biscotti - DS

It’s Gastropost Saturday, and our mission this week was “The Gift of Food”. Let’s be honest, I don’t just give the gift of treats at Christmastime; it’s pretty much a year round mandate here on Planet Byn. But I did give a very special gift this year, and it was something I’ve never made before. […]

Strawberry Rhubarb Crumble Ice Cream

Last Monday I had to leave work early to go to the dentist, and on the drive home, I noticed a bunch of traffic lights weren’t working. Hmmm, strange. It wasn’t raining, and there was no thunder or lightening, so I just thought it was one of those random things. When I got home […]

Toronto Eats: Nadège Patisserie

July 25, 2012 Bakeries & Restaurants

After a bit of a disappointment with the alleged #1 cupcakes in Toronto, it was time to hop back down through Trinity Bellwoods Park to try blogTO’s #1 rated macaron. Nadège has been on my radar for a couple of years, but macarons have never really provided me with enough motivation to visit.
