Midnight Snack – “Fried” Cheese Sticks

In case you weren’t aware, when you try eating healthier some things are forced to go by the way side. For some people, that’s drinking. For others, sweets.  For us, it’s fried foods. There is no greater treat than biting into the grease pocket of a freshly cooked mozzarella stick or onion ring. To this [...]

Spinach, Rice & Feta Pie

You ever take a vacation and feel like you ended up worker harder away from work?  That’s how my week of staying home turned out.  While teaching myself to make proper seed starter, barm and rye bread, I was also helping Fritz Pastry open their doors, designing their menus, and helping out wherever I could.  [...]

Cheetos GIANT

I love Cheetos.  I’ve waxed poetic about them time and time and time again.  It is, without a doubt, my all time favorite snack food.  When I started seeing the commercials for the new GIANT Cheetos, I went on a search for them that envied my current search for Pepsi Throwback.  Well, at least I [...]

Butternut Squash Ravioli with Citrus Sage Sauce

When I get an idea in my head, it’s hard to let go.  Some people like to call that “obsession” or perhaps “OCD,” but I like to think of it as inspiration slowly beating me into submission until I finally act upon it.  I’ve always wanted to make my own pasta.  I love the taste [...]

Recipe – Vegetarian Fiesta Con Queso Soup

Fans of Panera soup may recognize this soup. Every other year or so, around the fall season/Chrismas time, Panera unleashes what is easily their best soup ever. You heard me right. EVER. Ask around. Ask the people I spent 6 months working with, enslaved inside the Christmas Around The Mall store, where it was ALWAYS [...]

Eat It! Celebrating Eating Challenges – Day 4

*It would help if I actually pressed publish on this article.  Sorry for the delay* This is the kind of challenge after my own heart.  Yes.  Even I would have a hard time trying not to attempt to eat a 29″ pizza.  Of course, being a vegetarian, mine would have to be either all cheese, [...]

Kraft Macaroni & Cheese Crackers

*UPDATE* – I had a second bag of the crackers, and they were definitely more crackery.  While still not my favorite cheesy cracker combo, I would actually rank them higher than the original Cheez-It’s.  Apparently I don’t hate them that much, since I just finished off an entire box for “dinner” yesterday. Is it somehow [...]

Breakfast in Cracker Form? Bacon, Egg & Cheese Combos!

We make jokes about how foods that shouldn’t necessarily be mixed together fairly often on Two Bites.  I’m a firm believer that we do not need potato chips that taste like hamburgers or tortilla chips that taste like Mountain Dew.  Of course I’ll try a majority of them, but that doesn’t mean that I think [...]

Cake For Breakfast? Now You Can!

Thanks to my friend Jen for passing this link along. If the meat cake wasn’t enough cake shaped protein for your hungry hearts and clogged arteries, someone has come along and created the breakfast cake. A single serving of this cake will bring you eggs, peppers, sausage, cheese, onion, and bisquick.  And love.  You’ll also [...]

Bacon-Dusted Mozzarella Dinner Rolls

Once you find yourself on the receiving end of such an eye-opening spice, you start wondering how you can apply to your recipes.  That’s the only reason I can come up with that would explain why every restaurant in Chicago was serving hearts of palm a year or so ago. And this year?  Jicama seems [...]
