🍞 Baking Without Power? Challenge Accepted! ❄️ Orillia’s been in the dark for days thanks to this ice storm, and let’s just say—baking has been a little tricky. No ovens, no mixers… just creativity and patience! It got me thinking—what are the best no-bake treats to make when the power is out? I’m talking stovetop breads, campfire biscuits, or even classic no-bake cookies. Have you made anything fun (or just found a creative way to Baking

I have been doing these for awhile and find it very relaxing - has anyone else tried these before?

Being without power for several days is quite a challenge. Covering an ice storm without power and without reliable internet has been even more challenging ... and exhausting. But the OrilliaMatters team is committed to keeping you in the know. We'll be here until the power is back ... and long after.
The OrilliaMatters team is shown hard at work at the Colborne Street office in Orillia, where, thankfully, we have power.
