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.
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.
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.
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.
As we work on the blog today, we’re listening to acapella African music from the Lion King, anticipating going to the new movie tomorrow. It’s nostalgic and heart-filling to go to these remakes or the final film in a series with our adult children that we first saw as a family when they were little.
Here’s something we don’t do very often: slow down, take a little time for ourselves, and prepare food with extra care and creativity. Summer just seems like the perfect time to set aside an afternoon for friends and serve tea with a few homemade finger foods and sweets.
Brunch is one of the best meals to share with family and friends. For our family, it’s also one of the most challenging meals, especially if we eat out. Among us, we have various food allergies and intolerances: dairy, lactose, gluten and others. Brunch buffets and breakfast menus are loaded with dairy and gluten.
Finally, I made a gluten free scone recipe for my son-in-law. I’d already been thinking about how it would be fun to make a scone with snickerdoodle flavors since Rebel and I enjoy snickerdoodle cookies so much. Because Max loves cinnamon rolls, it seemed like the snickerdoodle flavor would be a good fit for a gluten free scone.
I’ve recently come to enjoy asparagus. Growing up my mom would express her disdain for ham and asparagus, so being a kid I decided I didn’t like them either.
