Last year, I made my best bud Max a Guinness Chocolate Cake with Bailey’s Buttercream for his birthday, and decorated it with Lucky Charms. He loved it, and told me how when he was growing up in Ireland he would beg his mom to buy Lucky Charms, but they were ridiculously expensive. I filed that......
It seems like everyone is OBSESSED with protein right now. Watch any amount of foodie Tik Tok and you’ll be assaulted with ways to increase the protein in your meals/snacks/life. One of the ways to do this is via an ingredient I’ve avoided for my entire life: cottage cheese. I remember my Mom would sometimes......
I’ve recently become obsessed with the Cheddar Chive Egg Bites at Starbucks. I’m not sure if they’re a permanent part of the menu now, but in case they ever go away, I wanted to see if I could make them myself. I also find them super salty, so a version where I could control the......
February went by in flash, which was a surprise as it’s normally a slow slog of dreary winter weather and depression. I was still in a bit of hibernation mode, but had one pretty epic foodie adventure: Other non-foodie things I was obsessed with: Flashback!...
In my favourite episode of Insecure, Issa orders a BBQ Salmon Taco, then proceeds to drop it on the ground when she’s startled by an insanely hot dude approaching her, and it makes her SO mad. I laugh so hard every single time, even though I know it’s coming, and I re-named this recipe in......
My friend Jen lived in Switzerland for about three years, and when she moved home in 2021, I felt inspired to welcome her back with a Double Double Cake. A Double Double is a fairly iconic drink at Tim Horton’s (it means a hot coffee with 2x cream and 2x sugar) and a classic Canadian......
I had a little Galentine’s Day gathering last weekend, and there was one thing I knew right away I wanted to make: Chocolate Covered Strawberry Cupcakes! These were on my Valentine’s baking list last year, but I made the Strawberry Nutella Swirl Cupcakes instead. Good thing I STILL have multiple packs of freeze-dried strawberries lying......
It always feels nice to get back into a routine in January to help recover from the holidays. I did a little bit of baking, but a LOT of cooking at home, which is one of my favourite forms of self-care. Here’s what else was going on: My friend Erin and I had a catch-up......
This was such a fun Christmas season! Lots of parties, baking and time to chill once the holidays were over. Here’s what I was cooking and baking in December: Jess had a Chrismukkuh Party and she asked if I could bring some Hanukkah cookies, which was my pleasure (she loaned me her cookie cutters and......
At some point during the pandemic, I started making Pinterest boards for dinner parties that I wanted to host when lockdowns finished and life returned to “normal”. To be honest, they were all various Thanksgiving themed boards, based around me FINALLY roasting a turkey for the first time in my life. I decided this was......
