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 […]

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 […]

As they say, breakfast is the most important meal of the day.  And waffles are delicious no matter what time you’re eating them.  My great uncle gave my grandfather a waffle iron a while back.  After my grandfather passed away last month, Boy and I brought home the waffle iron for safe keeping.  So in […]

I was not a fan of the banana when I was a kid.  However, I did love my mom’s banana bread.  Now that I’m slightly more grown up, I eat them both with gusto. As I mentioned in the baklava post, recently Boy and I had to reorganize our freezer and I realized we had […]

When I was in middle school, I had a class project which for some reason involved making Greek foods for an all-Greek potluck.  My project partner and I made a white bean soup and baklava.  I had never made baklava before but I found a recipe on the magical interwebs and we gave it a […]

The only thing better than a freshly baked cookie is a freshly baked cookie, plus some raw cookie dough right off the spoon.  This Toas-Tite has plenty of both.  Plus if you can’t decide if you want sugar cookies or chocolate chip cookies, fret no more.  You get both of those as well.  (And yes, […]

It’s not a holiday season without some pecan pie.  I love apple and pumpkin pies but there’s something about pecan pie.  The caramel-y sweetness.  The toasted pecans.  I just love it.  So of course, when I saw the America’s Test Kitchen All-Time Best Holiday Recipes on the shelf with it’s old-fashioned Pecan Pie recipe…well, I […]

Around Thanksgiving and Christmas, apple and pumpkin pies are a must-have.  But the trouble is, sometimes you have to pick!  Have no fear, when you’re making Toas-Tite sized pies, you don’t have to make that decision.  You can have your pie and eat it too. Apple Pie Pudgy Pie Ingredients: 1/2 a small apple, sliced […]

Halloween is right around the corner!  I hope you have your pumpkins carved and your spider webs out.  I know we sure do.  Boy’s pumpkin this year is of Oogie Boogie and mine is a simple little owl. We also have some cool ghost window gels, a pumpkin shaped table runner, two tiny ceramic jack-o-lanterns, […]

Rice Krispies were one of my favorite cereals as a child.  That snap, crackle, and pop were (and still are) just irresistible.  Not to mention, any time you brought Rice Krispies home, there was the delicious possibility that you might end up with Rice Krispie Treats.  The combination of the crunchy krispies and the melted […]
