Welcome to Two Fat Als!

As is hopefully obvious, we are a food blog focusing on delicious, usually healthy recipes for all foodies.

We met in 2005 at the University of Pennsylvania, where we worked as News Editor (Alanna) and Senior Photo Editor (Alex) at the school’s student-run newspaper, the Daily Pennsylvanian. After finishing our terms as editors, we began to cook together frequently, and decided to record our recipes through this blog so that we could remember what we’d made.

In May of 2008, we graduated from Penn and moved to New York City. Alex is currently at Mount Sinai School of Medicine, and Alanna is attending Columbia Law School.
