Birthdays are full of presents, smiles, balloons, pin-the-tail-on-the-donkey, and your favorite cake.  For most of my birthdays, my mom has made my favorite chocolate cake recipe – Toney Jepsen’s chocolate cake, to be precise.  Toney was a friend of my great grandmother and her legendary cake recipe has been passed down through the generations.  On […]

So it’s not our eBay listing…and we’re not affiliated with the seller.  But!  As I shared in our collection post and as you may have gathered since we have a blog dedicated to the Toas-Tite…I have a bit of a Toas-Tite passion.  That passion leads me to pay very close attention to the Toas-Tite related […]

Grocery stores are dangerous places to be when you’re hungry.  You can’t be blamed for your actions or how many goodies end up in your basket.  So of course, Boy and I couldn’t blame ourselves when we ended up with lemon poppyseed cake amongst our veggies and fruit.  And naturally that meant we had to […]

Hello.  My name is Girl.  And I am a Toas-Tite addict. Over the last few years, Boy and I have been Toas-Tite crazy.  Well…we love them and sometimes I just can’t help myself.  I see a beautiful Toas-Tite on eBay and I must get it for our collection.  I’ve managed to temper my buying frenzy […]

A huki huki huki huki hukilau!  That’s right.  Boy and I are headed to Hawaii for a little spring time R&R.  We’re going to play at the beach, do some snorkeling, eat pineapple, and maybe even go to a hukilau.  So in anticipation, we wanted to bring a little island lovin’ to the Toas-Tite. Ingredients […]

There’s nothing quite like a great piece of pizza.  Crustiness plus cheese plus tomato sauce.  Delicious.  So of course we had to try out a Toas-Tite with pizza dough, making a toasty calzone type sandwich. Ingredients 1/2 c. raw pizza dough, divided into two balls 1/2 diced tomato 2 Tbsp. shredded mozzarella Pepper to taste […]

Since the first quarter of the year is almost over and Boy and I haven’t posted anything (we still haven’t even posted our Christmas ham Toas-Tite recipe or our last Toas-Tite Top Chef Improv recipe…oops…), we decided to go big for our first one back. The inspiration for this Toas-Tite came from SmokingMeatForums.com.  The good […]

With Christmas trees, stockings, and eggnog all around, Boy and I are getting in the holiday mood.  We’ve been watching all our favorite Christmas movies (White Christmas, Christmas Vacation, A Christmas Carol, Scrooged) and listening to some solid Christmas tunes (like the very excellent 1996 Nordstrom holiday collection – yes indeed, I’ve been listening to […]

‘Tis the holiday season!  With Thanksgiving and turducken Toas-Tites behind us and Christmas a-coming, we find ourselves keeping with the celebratory theme with this week’s Hanukkah Toas-Tite.  So with a l’chaim and a happy Hanukkah (particularly to Girl’s step mom, little sister, and sister-in-law), we give you latke Toas-Tites! Hanukkah (or anytime) Latke & Applesauce […]

Today we’re taking a little break from our Top Toas-Tite series to bring you a special Thanksgivingy Toas-Tite for those of you who still have a few leftovers in the fridge (like we do). Boy and I spent a lovely Thanksgiving with my brother and his new wife in their home, along with her wonderful […]
