If you are in my Twitter, Instagram, or Facebook feed, then you were bombarded by step by step photos on Saturday as I made these cupcakes for Paul’s birthday. Annie suggests garnishing the cupcakes with mini chocolate chips (which, since even regular chocolate chips are basically impossible to find in Stockholm, I didn’t bother looking [...]

Folks, I have a tried and true pizza dough recipe. One I’ve been using for years and years. One I know off by heart. One I know by smell and feel. One I know I can slide off of my peel and onto my stone and turn out a damn fine pizza. This? Isn’t it. [...]
orange earl grey muffins

In my brain there exists three categories for muffins. First, there are weekday muffins; a high fiber, low fat, low sugar, packed full of goodness, eat every day for breakfast as a part of a healthy diet kind of a deal. Next, there are what I call weekend muffins; still pretty good, but definitely more [...]

It’s been a little while since a muffin recipe has graced the pages of The Muffin Myth. When I bump into someone I haven’t seen in a while and they say, “I love reading your muffin blog!” it makes me think that they don’t actually read it. You know it’s not a muffin blog, right? [...]

I’m trying to give my cookbooks some love these days. I have a tendency to get side tracked by all the tasty looking food I see on the many amazing food blogs I subscribe to, and forget all about my cookbooks. I brought my favourites with me from Vancouver to Stockholm, and I’ve recently added [...]
home made bagels

Let’s make some bagels, can we? Yes we can! For starters, today is my birthday, and on my birthday we can do anything we want. We can eat cake for breakfast and bagels for lunch and because it’s my birthday the calories don’t count. Please remember that I have an actual degree in nutrition, so [...]
no knead bread

We arrived home last night from our winter getaway to Thailand, and I’ve got a mountain of laundry to do and piles of pictures to sort through and groceries to buy and muffins to bake. I promise a post about our trip will be coming soon, but first lets bake some bread, shall we? I don’t [...]
make love, not fruitcake

My friend Sean and I made our first batch of fruitcake in 1995; I was 16 and he was 17 years old. It started as a joke. See, we had this theory that nobody actually ate fruitcake, they just hung onto it for a while and eventually re-gifted it. We wanted to see how long [...]
