A savory, buffalo chicken cannoli? Yes, it sounds a little weird, but it's delicious. If the word cannoli for dinner weirds you out, think of it as a giant buffalo chicken flauta. Basically it's cooked chicken (made super easy by using rotisserie chicken from Costco), mayonnaise, blue cheese, and Frank's hot sauce stuffed inside a fried...

I guess these are kind of like ricotta gnocchi, but they are bigger so they will be referred to as dumplings instead. Basically this is like Italian chicken and dumplings, slightly modified. We planned on making homemade tomato sauce but wimped out and opened a gourmet jar of garlic and chanterelle tomato sauce from Whole Foods to which we...

When I described this meal to a coworker, all I got was, "So, I can basically go to Chipotle and get that." Yeah, Mark, you can go to Chipotle and get this amazing homemade creation that fulfills every Mexican craving inside your soul, longing for that Tex-Mex flavor. Taco bowls fall into that category of 'never would have made before Erin.'...

This seemingly fancy, but super easy, recipe for duck breast with pomegranate sauce was a candidate for our Valentine's Day dinner this year, but lost out to browned butter lobster risotto (only due to the fact that lobster was on sale that week, not for lack of excitedness for this dish). As you can imagine it was on the menu for the first...

Back by popular demand, we now return to your regularly scheduled Wafoodie posts. Hopefully we'll be back to everyday posting again! We finally made a plan for food and actually went to the grocery store this weekend, so this week we are back to cooking after a week of eating out, travel recovery, and freaking out about where we will be living...

As you can tell from all the recent blog posts, I've been cooking up a storm while Erin's been gone :) I'm a bachelor again, and I'll eat like a bachelor. That means beef. In this case: lots of beef, topping a warm and cheesy quesadilla. Unlike all of Erin's recipes, I don't feel compelled to spell this one out. It's as simple as it sounds....

To precede our molten chocolate lava cake, we cooked up a romantic risotto dinner together. You know it was romantic because it had lobster. When I went to Whole Foods to pick up ingredients, at the seafood counter, there were 3 of us all buying lobster tails. I'm pretty creative that way. The recipe from Food Network  was pretty similar to...

Whole Foods makes some great prepared chicken salads. Two of our favorites being the blackened chicken salad and the curried chicken salad. I wanted to take a shot at making our own curried chicken salad, with cashews and chickpeas, and serve it with homemade crackers. The chicken salad was fairly easy to craft. We just poached up two boneless...

For Valentine's Day, Erin bought me one of those "hey why dontcha go make this for me" kind of gifts. This time it was a sushi kit. I'm not upset though because I love sushi, and she helped empower me to create my own! We went on a hunt across all of the Seattle area for fine sashimi-grade ingredients. We were having lunch in Ballard, so we...

How hard it it to find spaghetti squash? Apparently really difficult around us. Whole Foods hasn't ever had them when I've looked, and Amazon Fresh can't seem to keep them in stock when they are delivering to me. But I finally got my hands one, and decided to make low-carb spaghetti and turkey meatballs with marinara. We've joined a fancy...
