Oh hey are you still listening to SideCar over here? You really really need to listen to it at SideCar Podcast with Jen Coleslaw. You're keeping me from uploading Two Chocolate Cakes Episodes!

Let me know if it is not on your podcast player--btw, Stitcher is no longer carrying any podcasts so I can't help you there.

Second Floor Chicken Dinner (season 1 finale) Jun 01, 2022

And so we come to the end of Season 1 of Two Chocolate Cakes, and it is with one of the most bland meals out of the entire series, but still a meal I love more than anything--it is a comfort meal that I eat even now, many years later. It is also one of the only kinds of meat I can manage to cook myself! Well, besides hotdogs.

I hope you have enjoyed this first season of Two Chocolate Cakes and I am excited to bring you Season Two before the end of the summer!

Kay's Christmas Eve Lasagna and Christmas Day (Dad's Favorite) Beef Stew May 18, 2022

After my parents' divorce, Kay took over hosting Christmas. She made it special after Mom swore never to celebrate holidays again, even putting a tiny 2 food christmas tree in the room I stayed in.

Quintana Roo's Tofu Scramble May 11, 2022

There was something about Portland that gave me courage. I don't know if it was the weather, or the fact that I had a job where I was respected, or if it was all that incredible beer (and let me tell you, the beer was OUTSTANDING) or if it was the rain, but it was something. I only wish that I had banked some of that courage for the future.

A reminder that recipes can be found at TwoChocolateCakes.Com and that you can support the podcast at the Two Chocolate Cakes Patreon

Please share and rate the podcast! Thank you! xoxo

Thorp Hall Weekend Dinner Apr 06, 2022

What was the first thing you learned to make when you left home? Do you remember? Did you have some kind of crazy college dorm room food hack? I did and IT WAS DELICIOUS! PS. You can actually hear Peat yowling on this one. I just did not have it in me to re-record. So you get two sad cat meows as a gift with purchase. --- Support this podcast: https://podcasters.spotify.com/pod/show/twochocolatecakes/support

The Perfect Grilled Cheese Sandwich Mar 30, 2022

In that weird in-between time of high school and college summer jobs, in the days before internships and real jobs, I worked at the most magical summer resort. If you remember the movie Dirty Dancing--you know this resort.

Scrambled Eggs with Pepperoni Mar 23, 2022

My father's signature meal. After he got sober and changed jobs, my mother started working two nights a week at a halfway house. Dad and I took turns making dinner but neither of us were particularly skilled in the kitchen, but we liked what we ate.

Mrs Roch's Macaroni and Cheese Feb 02, 2022

There's something about other people's kitchens that I will always love--probably because they have always been safe harbor for me (for the most part) and the very first (and for the next several decades) "family" kitchen for me was the Roch's kitchen where I learned how to make Macaroni and Cheese.

Introduction to the series: Two Chocolate Cakes Jan 29, 2022

Let's set the table, shall we?

This whole series started out as a literal recipe box that I still have, more than 25? maybe more? years later. I was looking at it as a creative writing prompt.
Even though I keep a lot of my recipes in an online recipe keeper now because I am afraid of losing them, I still have my little recipe box, and all the cards. And every single one of them, even the ones not represented in this series, tell a story.
