So I decided to […]
A Note from Marcy December 2019
Dear Fellow Bakers and Friends, Welcome to the December 2019 Issue of Betterbaking.com! It’s hard to believe but it’s just a few short weeks away until the holidays. This always presents me with a bit of a quandary. As I publish the first of each month, I try and plan recipes that make sense in […]

A Note from Marcy January 2018
Happy New Year Fellow Bakers and Friends, The weather outside is frightful! With temperatures (at least in Montreal and on Mars), hovering at -20 Celsius (that minus five on a Fahrenheit thermometer), Betterbaking.com is the place to be. Hot biscuits, warm bread, simmering soup, chewy, oven-fresh cookies and flaky pies or whatever else you […]
A Note from Marcy July 2018
Dear Bakers and Friends, Welcome to the July 2018 issue of Betterbaking.com! I have a habit that gets triggered each time I find a new passion, whether it be hobby or work related.

A Note from Marcy October 2019

Mostly it was a challenge because October is all about bountiful acres of recipes that I want to create, test and share and […]
A Note from Marcy September 2018
Dear Bakers and Friends, Ah, September 1st – the bittersweet day of summer’s end and fall’s promise! The air might feel like July but it definitely smells like September and a heat wave would do little to stop the leaves from their first tumble. Labour Day is that twilight holiday, linking what was with what’s […]
A Note from Marcy September 2019
Dear Bakers and Friends, Dear Bakers and Friends, Last night I dreamt it was still August (it was) but this morning I woke up to a new country called Autumn. Everything about this new land is different. The mellow scent of warm peach pie has mysteriously evaporated and a seductive cinnamon mist has rolled in. […]
