Twinkies, Deconstructed
If you're the kind of person who likes to snack on a Twinkie every now and again, I'm sorry to say you may want to rethink that snack. Steve Ettlinger, the author of Twinkie, Deconstructed states that there are 39 ingredients in a Twinkie, and all but one are processed. The list, which includes cellulose gum, calcium sulfate and polysorbate 60 are used in sheetrock, shampoo, laundry detergent and even rocket fuel.
Want Fries With That Hot Dog Cake?
When I found out that today is Hot Dog Day, I knew I had to share this fun creation. It really takes "semi-homemade" and pushes it to the next level, everything can be bought, but the end result is completely unique. The Hot Dog and Fries Cake is a completely edible, ridiculously sweet cake shaped to look like a hot dog in a bun and french fries.
Will You Eat Banana Creme Twinkies?
As a kid I was crazy for processed treats like Twinkies and Ho-Hos. However, once I got to college, I made a vow to eat as few as I possibly could. So tell me, why am I so intrigued by the new Banana flavored Twinkies?

Deconstructing the Twinkie
Happy Birthday to the Twinkie, which turns 77 this year. I'll admit that growing up, I was a huge fan of this cream-filled spongy yellow cake, but I know now that it's made with a whole bunch of junk.
Steve Ettlinger saw the list of 39 ingredients and didn't think much of it until his daughter asked, "Daddy, what's Polysorbate 60?"
Book of the Day: The Hostess Twinkies Cookbook
Hey, Nicole Richie. I've heard you weigh only 85 pounds. In addition to actually eating (try it--you'll like it!), I bet you'll solve those weight-gaining problems if, every day, you eat one of these, and a couple of shakes from The Hostess Twinkies Cookbook--see recipe below.
Deep Fried Twinkies - As Bad For You as They Sound?
I know you want me to say, "No, go ahead. Enjoy. They're great for you.
Fare to Avoid at the Fair
I find it more than a bit ironic that the foods most of us associate with going to the State Fair are fried, processed and just plain bad for you. The fair is supposed to be a celebration of farming and farm life (I love visiting all the animals from 4H competitions). I would think the food at fairs would feature fresh produce rather than deep fried food served on sticks.
Tell Mommy: Things You Don't Even Admit to Friends Edition
Nobody said it was easy. And it's not. Motherhood is life changing, amazing, tear-jerking and terrifying.
Zombieland: The Feel-Good Zombie Flick of the Year
A Note From Buzz: With so many new movies this week, my friend Très was nice enough to apply her scary-movie expertise to review the box office's newest zombie flick.
In the United States of Zombieland, zombies outnumber people. A mad-cow tainted burger tipped the population in favor of the drooling, limping, and grunting set, and now zombies roam a crashed-car littered, empty-minimall-blighted zombiescape.
