Jon & Vinny’s Spicy Fusilli

July 24, 2019 Pasta & Noodles
Spicy Fusilli

If I’m posting a savoury recipe in the Summer, you know it must be a good one. When the weather gets hot, I don’t actually cook; it’s more like I chop things and assemble them on a plate (this is my forever fave). However, after finding a recipe on Bon Appetit for the Spicy Fusilli […]

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 […]

Chorizo Chili + Cheesy Beer Bread

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 […]

Frito Pie

Frito Pie

It’s Cinco de Mayo today, so it’s a perfect excuse to log this Frito Pie that I made a couple of months ago. Although who really needs an excuse to cover chili with corn chips and cheese and call it dinner? Certainly not me. I can’t think of where I first heard about Frito Pie, […]

Cheesy Butternut Squash Rigatoni

Cheesy Butternut Squash Rigatoni

You know this thing the kids say these days - “pics or it didn’t happen”? On Planet Byn it’s like “blog or you didn’t eat it”. I swear, if I don’t blog about something I made, even if I LOVED it, I will promptly forget that it ever existed. I have made this pasta dish […]

Baked Sunday Mornings: Lemon Parmesan Pepper Icebox Cookies

July 13, 2014 Baked Sunday Mornings
Lemon Parmesan Cookies

Our assignment this week was a savoury shortbread cookie with three flavours: lemon, pecorino cheese and black pepper. This actually didn’t seem strange to me, as Barefoot Contessa has a recipe in one of her books for a parmesan thyme savoury shortbread, which she refers to as a cracker. My more pressing concern was all […]

Chicken Parmesan Meatballs in Creamy Tomato Sauce

Chicken Parmesan Meatballs

Remember the good old days when there were still Olive Gardens in Toronto? My friends and I used to go in high school and I vividly remember having chicken parmesan there and it blowing my mind. Deep fried crunchy deliciousness topped with tomato sauce and so much cheese. Holy cow. Throw in the salad and […]

Butternut Squash Gratin, Savoury Bacon Biscuits + Thanksgiving 2013

October 21, 2013 Bread
Butternut Squash Gratin

Taking a look back in my archives it seems like I only contribute dessert to Thanksgiving dinner, so I’m making sure to blog about the sides I brought this year, because they were AMAZING. The thing with my family is that they just want the regulars around the table, and are sometimes suspicious when […]

Nacho Dip

Our Gastropost Mission this week was Mex to the Max, which gave me the perfect excuse to remix my favourite mexican guilty pleasure. There are recipes for mexican layer dips all over the place; you probably have an aunt or cousin or neighbour that brings this to potlucks or other gatherings. The way I always […]

Butternut Squash & Black Bean Burrito Bowls

October 4, 2013 Dinner
Butternut Squash & Black Bean Burrito Bowl

One of my goals for September was obviously not blogging to cook more real dinners at home. Once my big project launched at work at the end of June, I was busy having fun in July & August, and wasn’t really doing a good job of meal planning and cooking. After a super relaxing […]
