I swear those little frosted animal cookies have this drug-like addicting quality to them because every time I pass by them at the store I have this strange and inexplicable feeling to always want to buy them now. Fortunately, Whole Foods, where we do the majority of our grocery shopping, doesn't sell them, so I just have to drool over them when...

I've been using a lot of coconut products lately, from shredded coconut in breading to coconut oil in cookies to coconut milk in risotto, and now coconut cream as the broth in which to steam mussels. I thought a rich coconut milk along with Asian flavors like spicy sriacha and ginger would be the perfect thing in which to steam a large batch of...

Before we get to the food for the day, I wanted to take a moment to point out what you’ve probably already noticed if you’ve visited Wafoodie before. Wafoodie has been completely redesigned and made so much more fun and bright! The awesome graphic designer was, of course, Dustin. He is a total rockstar in my book, as he has spent the past couple...

Making fried chicken is still on our to-do list together. But we usually reserve our frying ventures for the weekend, so for a quick weeknight meal, we usually bread our chicken with Panko breadcrumbs and bake them in the oven until crunchy for a faux-fry. This time around we added some shredded coconut to the mix as if we were making the...

I'm not too worried about being able to find good sushi in Los Angeles. It may not be Shiro's, and it may not be cheap, but we will find good sushi in our new city. However, I think being able to make our own sushi might become a thing of the past (at least raw sushi). I have no idea how easy it will be to find sushi-grade fish in our grocery...

Before I met Dustin if you'd have told me that I'd like oysters, even fried ones, I would have looked at you like you were a crazy person. I think that just goes to show that with a willingness to try new foods, your palette will grow, and you will learn to like love things you'd never have thought possible. Oysters are definitely one such thing...

Our apartment in Washington gets hot during the summer. All we have are stand fans that don't do a great job of circulating air (I know... no air conditioning is crazy to a Texan), so it gets really stagnant during the day. If I could I would eat ice cream and milkshakes all day to cool myself off. As you might know, I already eat a lot of ice...

Such a simple idea— bake cream cheese inside bagel dough so that when you bite in, warm cream cheese explodes all over your tastebuds— but so brilliant. What else would I expect from Momofuku? The more I try from their cookbook, the more sad I grow that I didn't choose to go to school in New York, so I could be a stone's throw away from Milk...

These chocolate covered espresso beans are proof that the simplest things can be elevated using high quality ingredients. When Dustin's parents visited us over July 4th, we hit up Espresso Vivace in the Capital Hill area. We've gotten great coffee the last two years, but Vivace has by far been our favorite. It's such a shame we discovered it so...

As much as we both love a good fruit pie,when we order dessert, both Dustin and I will almost always gravitate towards something chocolate, covered in caramel, and loaded with ice cream. Every once in awhile though, I will have an intense craving for something fruity, and usually that fruity dessert is something with lemon, like lemon meringue...
