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 [...]

I have a pretty large problem on Sundays.  All I want to do is eat.  Rico is always stuck doing work or something not fun and I don’t want to watch all my TIVO and bother him, so I’m left with eating.  Channeling my need for chocolate yesterday, I wanted to find an eggless recipe [...]

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 [...]

What do you get when you cross a pig with a cactus? A Porkupine! Ok, we’ll pretend that didn’t happen.  I’ve been hearing a lot about savory and sweet cookies, and the euphoria from said cookies.  I hold a firm belief that bacon makes everything taste better, so bacon found it’s way into my first savory and [...]

Like the good Jewish mother that she is, Little Mommies continued to bake for Rosh Hashanah.  This next cookie is one of the first cookies I ever made, resulting in 300 spotted crazies for Teacher Recognition Day in elementary school.  Yes, I get it; I was a suck up.  Don’t make me admit what a [...]

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 [...]
