When I hear sheet cake, I have these weird flashbacks to terrible 80′s movies and decorations that are reminiscent of the cakes on Cake Wrecks (see link on sidebar). They are usually ugly, from Food Emporium, and are as dry as George Carlin’s humor. However, this cake is different. Real Different. Commence drooling. The Best [...]

I’m a klutz. I have always been ready and willing to admit I’m a klutz. I never learned how to crawl as a kid and it took me until I was 15 months old to learn how to walk. My parents were so afraid of my lack of coordination that they enrolled me in dance lessons [...]

Have you ever had a recipe that feels like family? I have been making this tart since I was competent enough to follow directions. There’s a picture on the http://twofacedchef.com/about-the-author/ page of me making this tart during my “Jack White I’m Continuously in Awkward Phases” phase. I brought it recently to a gathering of Rico’s family [...]

The best part of Halloween is the trick. April Fool’s is pretty big in my family also, including crank calls and hiding in each other’s cars. However, between my friends and me, Halloween is the time for true trickery. I’ve been silly stringed, pied, even attacked by gentlemen in masks, who are actually people I should have [...]

Please note before watching this video that: The camera decided to eat the distance between my 25 inch waist and the Surpremes. (Thank you Desperate Housewives!) I’m in my parent’s kitchen–home on vacation–hence why everything is so pretty. No, I will not post pictures from Halloween. I have dignity people. These are honestly very simple [...]
Linzertorte and Family

OK, this post may get a little emotional. I’ll try my hardest to throw in a few good jokes, but if it gets a little sappy, I’m a woman, it happens. One of my favorite desserts is a Linzertorte. It was also known as a “Lindsay Tart” to my grandfather, who affectionately named it after my fashionable Aunt [...]

I feel like all women fall into a trap of dieting for an event. I ate as healthy as possible until my cousin’s wedding in which I was the maid of honor, and then once the ceremony was over, I started eating everything in sight. Luckily, I have not been in my parents’ house for [...]
