Joe and Deborah reached out to us quite some time ago.  They have an electric Toas-Tite in their family!  Deborah’s family had five in their restaurant and one of those has stayed in the family.  Joe reported that “that one has been traveling the country…spending a year or two at a time with each of […]

Emma and Rosemary are twin sisters who have fond memories of making Toas-Tite sandwiches after school in the ’50s.  They originally found us back in 2009 and we have loved every one of their comments.  Now here we are in 2013 and Boy and I have been so tardy on actually trying out one of […]

Since it’s Valentine’s Day, we want to share our love.  Boy has one amazing sister and a fabulous brother-in-law.  I have a wonderful brother, a dazzling sister-in-law, and a brilliant little sister.  Our siblings, who we love a million times over, are the inspiration for this Toas-Tite sandwich.  Why, you ask?  Boy’s sister and brother-in-law […]

Any time Boy and I go on a road trip, our go-to is Mexican.  I think I’ve Yelped “burritos” more than almost anything else when we’re on the go. So of course, it was high time we posted a quick recipe for burritos and quesadillas. Burrito Toas-Tite Ingredients 2 flour tortillas 2 tbsp of rice […]

One day, I got an email from Sur La Table that they were having a sale.  One of the items on sale caught my eye immediately.  It was the Babycakes Pie Pop Maker. I had to have it. The manufacturer describes it as, “The Babycakes pie pop maker bakes sweet and savory bite size pies […]

On the theme of catching up with emails and recipes from readers, here’s a lovely one we received from Michelle. After seeing the article about the newly re-minted Toas-Tite I got very nostalgic as my mother had at least one and gave one to me when I got married, 44 years ago. I still have […]

After sharing with us some of her family history with Bar-B-Buns and the Toas-Tite, we are so lucky to be able to post some photos of Sondra’s own electric unit and even more of her story. From Sondra: My brother reminded me today that our Dad was the last person left on the line assembly at […]

One of our fellow jaffle / toastie / pudgy-pie afficionados, Joe,  from Australia wrote in with his favorite recipe. I thought I would share one of my fav jaffle recipes with you, its fairly simple but fantatic on a camp with a morning coffee: Bacon and Egg Brekky Jaffle Ingredients: Thick slices of toasting bread […]

Some of you may know that Boy and I have long been curious about the electric Toas-Tites…what they look like, how they work.  It’s a bit of Bar-B-Buns history that we have only heard tell of on the rare eBay listing. Then recently, all that changed when we received an email from Sondra D.  I […]

Once upon a time, while Boy and Girl were making Toas-Tites at their house, there lived another Boy and Girl in the same city…a Sodium Girl to be specific. Not only do we live in the same city, I am lucky enough to call Sodium Girl (and Boy) family. While the name may deceive you, […]
