Momofuku can do no wrong. These cookies are delicious as is to be expected from anything that comes out of their cookbook. The flavor is a bit hard to describe. Kind of like sweet and salty buttered corn on the cob or popcorn with added sugar to turn it into dessert. I know that may sound a little weird, but it really is a flavor explosion in...

Wednesday afternoon I went to Dustin's weekly team lunch to meet his boss and his coworkers that I regularly bake for. I'm very well known around the office for all of the baked goods he bring in. Naturally I had to bring some sort of dessert to this get together. I honestly feel like I can't go anywhere without bringing dessert these days. I...

In case you haven't heard the news... I am officially a Bruin. Dustin and I will be moving down to sunny Los Angeles, California later this year, so you'll have to imagine the "w" in wafoodie becoming an "l"! Choosing UCLA was probably the most difficult choice I've ever made, but now I am glad everything is finalized, and I can start getting...

Looking for a Passover friendly dessert to bring to our Easter Sunday Passover Seder, it seems the two things common for Passover that I kept coming across were flourless chocolate cake and macaroons. I chose to go with macaroons because they were super easy— at least the ones I made were super easy! I thought about dipping or drizzling them...

Saturday was a fantastic day (not for Dustin's brackets— completely busted after a long day of bad basketball topped off by Gonzaga's loss). For breakfast, we stopped by Stumptown for coffee and Crumble and Flake in Capitol Hill for croissants before heading to Magnuson Park with Bonnie and her BFF, Ruby. The girls had so much fun running around...

Pecan sandies were definitely not a cookie I appreciated as a kid. Despite being surrounded by an abundance of them, pecans were not something I fully appreciated until I was a little older and no longer living in Texas where they are plentiful and cheap compared to Seattle. But with a large box arriving from Texas a few weeks ago, I knew I...

Bonnie's lips and nose have been incredibly dry lately, whether from her allergies and the medications she's been taking or just the colder weather. But I've been trying to keep her hydrated with coconut oil. I searched and searched for a good substitute to Vaseline since she tends to completely lick off anything I place within reach of her...

Compost cookies might not sound like an appealing name, but neither were the other options: "garbage cookies" or "kitchen sink cookies." Promise me when I say these cookies are delicious despite the name, with a little bit of everything you can think of in a cookie recipe (minus the kitchen sink). Basically the idea for this cookie started as...

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...

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...
