Guest Blogger: Danielle’s Deep Chocolate Brownies with Chevre Swirls

June 26, 2012 Brownies & Blondies

Has it really been like two years since Danielle’s last guest blog post? That’s just crazy. She made something this week that is very different from her usual kitchen adventures, so of course, I peer pressured her to write about it! Here she is: This is not something I would normally bookmark, let alone […]

Rhubarb Upside-Down Cake

June 22, 2012 Cakes, Cupcakes & Icing

You may recall I was full of rage perturbed on Mother’s Day when I couldn’t find rhubarb in time to make this dessert. So obvs I made it for Father’s Day instead! Let’s make this very clear: this is one for the rhubarb lovers of the world. The rhubarb isn’t diced into little pieces like […]

Foxy Lady Rhubarb Cocktails

June 20, 2012 Cocktails

RHUBARB week rolls on over here with a foxy little drink I’ve been making for a few summers now. Fellow rhubarb lover Gwendolyn posted this recipe a couple of years ago, and it has the best story behind it (her grandmother’s nickname was Foxy Lady!). I can’t believe I haven’t posted this until now.

Lemon Rhubarb Buttermilk Bundt Cake

June 18, 2012 Cakes, Cupcakes & Icing

I had so much fun posting with a theme last week (my farewell treats to my now former co-workers), that I decided we’re going to do it again. Yes, that’s right, it’s RHUBARB week on Planet Byn. It’s well documented in the archives that I just love this pink, tart, celery looking weirdo of a […]

Byn’s Farewell Tour of Treats - Day 5: S’mores Pie {2}

June 15, 2012 Pies, Tarts & Pudding

On my very last day of work I actually brought in Joy’s Chocolate Bundt Cake, so this was the penultimate treat. The entire farewell treat tour was essentially like Byn’s greatest hits of chocolate combinations: chocolate + peanut butter, chocolate + butterscotch, chocolate + cookie dough, and finally, chocolate + marshmallow.

Byn’s Farewell Tour of Treats: Day 4 - Chocolate Chip Cookie Dough Brownies

June 14, 2012 Brownies & Blondies

I am obsessed with cookie dough; it’s my most favourite treat. I thought my co-workers should experience the joy of guilt-free eggless chocolate chip cookie dough, so I made this during my last week to share with them. Pretty simple, just a brownie layer on the bottom topped with the dough. I’ve had this bookmarked […]

Byn’s Farewell Tour of Treats: Day 3 - Chocolate Pecan Butterscotch Tart

June 13, 2012 Pies, Tarts & Pudding

The farewell treat tour was going along swimmingly until we hit Day 3. This certain co-worker who tries my patience came over to get a slice of this tart that morning. I had cut the slices VERY small (16 slices from a 9″ tart) and the following exchange took place:

Byn’s Farewell Tour of Treats: Day 2 - Mini Crispy Crunch Cheesecakes

June 12, 2012 Cakes, Cupcakes & Icing

Forgot to mention yesterday that I chose all the treats you’re going to see this week. Instead of taking requests, I decided to make things I’ve had bookmarked forever and knock a few recipes off my never-ending ‘to bake’ list.

Byn’s Farewell Tour of Treats: Day 1 - Peanut Butter Slutty Brownies

June 11, 2012 Brownies & Blondies

Big changes in the Byn-osphere over the past few weeks. I left my department of almost ten years and transferred to a new one within the same company. It’s a pretty major life change for me. I’m doing something totally different, and I feel refreshed and excited for the next few years.

Chocolate Chip Espresso Scones

June 9, 2012 Muffins & Scones

I made these scones a few months ago, and they kind of got lost in the shuffle. I thought I would post them today, before it turns into summer fruit central around here. I’m that odd person that doesn’t drink coffee on a regular basis, but loves coffee flavoured things. For this reason, I’m that weirdo […]
