Sweet Potato Scones

When Danielle and I went to Atlanta last year, one of the places we went for brunch was Highland Bakery. It was actually my least favourite meal of the weekend, but it was saved by one special thing. We bought little mini sweet potato scones from the bakery case up front to snack on while […]

Brown Butter Apple Galette

Last December I made a bold declaration on this here blog of mine: I was done with apple pie. I had finally had enough after making Saveur magazine’s Salted Caramel Apple Pie for Christmas, and was ready to put that out into the world. I often have trouble with pie in general, mostly because I […]

Mini Pumpkin Muffins

Hooray! It’s pumpkin time! I feel like I showed excellent restraint in waiting until October to crack open my first can of pumpkin. Last year I was away for a lot of October, so I didn’t really make a dent into my Pumpkin Pinterest board, so I’m making up for lost time now. The first […]

When I returned from my various travels at the end of October, I still had a crisper full of Empire apples from my trip to Chudleigh’s. I didn’t feel like making apple butter, but needed another recipe that would use up the rest of my beauties before they started to take a turn. I immediately […]

Pumpkin Cinnamon Rolls with Maple Glaze

Pumpkin Cinnamon Rolls

I’ve been lusting after pumpkin cinnamon rolls for three years. Seriously. You can see my comment from 2010 on Gwendolyn’s blog here. I was still pretty scared of yeast projects then, but I’m kind of proud of how I’ve taught myself to bake up carby goodness since then. I didn’t end up using that recipe, […]

It’s coming. Christmas cookie season. Time to make Pinterest boards, hoard butter, sign-up for cookie exchanges and send out a Save the Date for Champagne & Cookies IV. I can’t wait! Truth be told, I’ve been working on my Christmas cookie list since September, but don’t worry about that. I still have a few Fall […]

Pumpkin Ale Bread {Gastropost Mission #74}

Pumpkin Ale Loaf

Gastropost asked us a tough question this week: Beer vs Wine? This is a tough call, because cooking with wine means Boeuf Bourguignon, one of my favourite cold-weather dishes. But the recipe for this Pumpkin Ale Loaf was calling my name. Have you tried this Pumpkin Beer from St. Ambroise? You can get it at the […]

Butternut Squash Gratin, Savoury Bacon Biscuits + Thanksgiving 2013

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 […]

Apple Crisp Muffins

Fun fact: the very first recipe I posted here on Planet Byn almost four years ago was for Oat & Apple Crumble Top Muffins. There’s nothing wrong with that recipe, but there’s room in my life for more than one apple muffin! Last weekend my friend Aoife and I went apple picking at Chudleigh’s, […]
