Welcome to Burnt Toast food blog. We’re Lee and Rebel, mom and daughter home cooks.
Join us in a conversation about our favorite foods, family stories, recipes we’ve updated for food intolerances, and the fun we have cooking together for parties and gatherings.
Cook together. Eat together.

We had the munchies and recreated a Taco Bell favorite, the Mexican Pizza, which sad to say has been discontinued.
Angel food cake is made with a lot of egg whites, sugar and…air. All that air whipped into the egg whites creates a light and fluffy cake, a delicious base for fresh strawberries.
By happy chance, it turned out to be my mom’s birthday when Rebel and I set out to make our pies.
We experimented with this recipe a year ago when I first discovered delicata squash. It’s such a mild, delicious flavor, not bitter at all, and you can eat the skin. That makes it easier to prep and roast.
We’re finally sitting on the patio again, together, enjoying the late afternoon with its low, slanting light and a cool, fall breeze. What a relief – the wildfire smoke has finally cleared, at least for today.
Our hope with these kitchen chats is for you to experience what it would be like to be a fly on the wall in our kitchen as we talk to one another about the food we make. Rebel: How should we start this? Lee: (Silence…eating lunch.) Do we want a sentence or two of intro, or do we just dive in?
Proud mom moment: I was always impressed how Rebel learned in a middle school cooking class to whip up a French omelette in a few short minutes.
There’s nothing quite so crowd-pleasing as a taco bar. I learned leading Girl Scout troops and youth groups, the way to work around a myriad of preferences, allergies and picky eating is to offer a food bar where kids can add their favorite toppings and customize what they eat.
We can’t wait to be together and cook together again, but in the meantime, here’s a fun challenge: social distance nachos.
I’m a scone nerd, always curious and sampling some when I spot them in a coffee shop or bakery case (even though the butter won’t agree with me), and I often bake them at home.
Our whole vibe is cooking together and offering recipes for gatherings. Every part of this is hard right now.
We’re all finding ourselves spending time at home like never before. Is it joy-inducing for you, or does it make you feel restless to get out? Either way, a creative pursuit like baking can bring happiness and stress-relief.
