The end of the year means the important part of football season has arrived. Between college bowl games and the NFL playoffs there are plenty of games to keep a fan like me occupied! Especially since the Texans will get to play a role! Beat those Colts again today! Dustin and I love making a variety of appetizers for game day when we watch at...

I think I cookie-doughed myself out on my birthday a few weeks back. Between the cookie dough cinnamon rolls and these cookie dough stuffed cupcakes, I think I have curbed my seemingly incessant desire for my favorite dessert/food. Something I thought I'd never say. However, I do not think this will last long. I fully intend to bake my way...

I absolutely promise this is my last foray into pumpkin recipes. Until next fall, that is. Dustin says I'm obsessed, but I think I may have gotten him on the bandwagon after this macaroni and cheese. I have made numerous macaroni and cheeses since starting a record of my cooking on wafoodie; however, I think this one might be my absolute...

The only savory food connection I have with Christmas day are these sausage balls. Every year my Grandma sits them out on Christmas day, and I plan to just eat a couple, but I end up eating enough to be my meal. Sausage balls are super easy to make with Bisquick, cheese, and ground sausage being basically the only ingredients, although I added...

I've been planning on making monkey bread for Christmas morning a long time now. I had found recipes and an elaborate plan to make a full on monkey bread with yeasted brioche dough and homemade caramel completely from scratch. But as Christmas got nearer and I realized how much other stuff I had to do, I decided to save the more complicated...

Merry Christmas 2012! Currently sitting in our fridge waiting to be eaten later tonight for Christmas dessert is this eggnog cheesecake with a gingerbread crust, topped with crushed peppermints. All three popular Christmas flavors rolled into one (hopefully) delicious and rich cheesecake. I hope it tastes as good as it looks (UPDATE: it...

Merry Christmas Eve! Tonight we plan on sitting around our Christmas tree, drinking hot chocolate and listening to Christmas carols! Tomorrow morning we plan on waking up to a delicious breakfast and opening our presents before spending the afternoon and evening with some friends where we shall create our own Christmas feast. We'll keep you...

Nothing says Christmas like eggnog. We've made our own, and now we are baking with this popular holiday drink. This Christmas morning you can drink your eggnog for breakfast as well as eat it. The bread definitely has an eggnog flavoring to it, but it's not overwhelming or overpowering, and the texture of the bread is really smooth. My...

When I popped the first piece of albacore in my mouth, my life changed. In a flash of rash decision making, I exclaimed that Shiro's has ruined me. Subsequent outbursts of  "we're never leaving Seattle," or slightly inappropriate happy sounds aside, this place will have you questioning whether you can ever eat at a normal sushi place...

It's almost Christmas, which means it's gingerbread man (and woman) time! I had so many problems last year making gingerbread cookies for the first time that I didn't write all of the details or the recipe. This year's gingerbread cookies turned out to be extra fabulous. This recipe is slightly adapted from my Pastry Queen cookbook, and I now...
