Mexican Street Corn Salad

We all know that I’m super picky when it comes to food, but did you know there’s one particular thing that I LOVE, but that I refuse to eat in public? That’s Corn-on-the-Cob, my friends. I just can’t deal. The only place I’ll eat it is at my parents’ house, because I know I can […]

One of my favourite things to do with my co-workers is go to Lone Star for Fajita Fridays. It doesn’t necessarily take place on Fridays, and we don’t always eat fajitas, but there is one constant: CHEAP MARGARITAS. It’s truly the best. My friend Shane had all of us over to the patio in his […]

Strawberry Rhubarb Jam Margarita

Last week, our Gastropost Mission was all about Perfect Pairings. Obviously you can see where this is going! Here on Planet Byn, there is no better summer pairing than Strawberry & Rhubarb. If they were a celebrity couple we’d call them Strubarb. Or Rhuberry. I can’t decide which one I like better! This was the […]

Mango Swirl Cheesecake

The first time I made this cheesecake was either 2002 or 2003. I think I made it for Easter and it was an absolute disaster. I remember it leaked all over the bottom of the oven, resulting in a smoke filled kitchen. I remember the mangoes I used weren’t quite ripe enough, which I didn’t […]

See! I kept my promise! I vowed to make one ice pop before summer was over, and not only did I make some, but I made boozy ones at that! These popsicles are basically like a frozen watermelon mint margarita, and are so summery and refreshing. The best part is that even though it looks […]

Just over two years ago, I posted a recipe for Cocoa Brownies with Browned Butter & Walnuts, which was the cover recipe on the first issue of Bon Appetit I received in the subscription my friend Danielle got for me.
