On way we are keeping our New Year's resolution to eat healthier is to eat more vegetarian dinners. One of our favorite ways to eat vegetarian is through interesting pizza toppings. Black beans and sweet potatoes are hearty and delicious flavor combination that work on a variety of dishes from chili to enchiladas and even to this pizza inspired...

My only gripe about Dahlia Bakery is that they aren't on the Eastside, so we can't stock up on their freshly baked bread, treats, and delicious breakfast sandwiches all of the time. So we'll have to settle for the next best thing—making Dahlia's treats in our own kitchen from The Dahlia Bakery Cookbook (I love the tagline— Sweetness in...

While sadly, we have not found any Tex-Mex out here worth our time or the calories, we have stumbled across a few "Southwestern" style restaurants in the area. The salsas are different and so is the cheese, and really just about everything else, but words like enchilada and taco are familiar, so we can appreciate the cuisine. One of the local...

No, there is no crack in this legendary "pie" from Momofuku Milk Bar, but it is so addictive that you can't stop eating it according to many :). It doesn't look like anything special, but it's a rich and gooey treat that has a flavor quite unlike anything you've ever tasted before. The best way to describe it is kind of like pecan pie filling,...

Going on vacations with the parents is always a gastronomic affair, with this mini vacation to the Phoenix/Scottsdale area being no exception. We left a couple of days after Christmas and were back before the new year, with a little bit of sun (not really, but it was better than being in Seattle) and a couple of inches on our waistlines after...

Clearly Dustin and I love the flavors of buffalo wings (see these burgers and this dip), so it was only a matter of time before we incorporated those flavors into something else, say lasagna. I am astounded at no-boil lasagna noodles. They allow your dish to come together so much faster than having to wait for your water to boil, then the...

It's a couple of days late, but Dustin and I went through all of our posts from the last year and compiled our favorites into a list. Well, two lists to be exact. Dustin wanted to condense everything down into one list, but I told him there would be no non-dessert elements on my Top 10 list, so we should have a sweet Top 10 and a savory Top 10....

The words cheesy, garlic, and basil all in the title of a recipe? And it's healthy? Count me in! I found this recipe for Cheesy Garlic Basil Tilapia while flipping through the Penzey's Spices catalogue, and decided to make this as an easy dinner one evening for company. Fortunately, I had all of the needed Penzey's Spices on hand to make this...

In 2013, like most people, we have some New Year's resolutions. Namely to exercise more and eat a little healthier. Don't worry, we still have lots of desserts planned. We've still got to treat ourselves! But we'd like to cook more healthy dishes with more veggies, particularly the green ones. To start the new year, we share our dinner of...

I can't believe 2012 is coming to a close. It's been a busy one with us getting married and all— maybe not as busy as the year before between graduating, a trip to Europe, a cross-country move to Washington, a new job for Dustin, and the adoption of the sweetest puppy in the world, but an exciting and memorable year to say the least. I'm really...
