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...

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...

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...

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 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...

Let's be honest. Erin had a pretty fantastic birthday. Especially for all the awesome food she got. She dined on freshly rolled sushi by esteemed sushi chef, Shiro. She splurged on plenty of small plates from Black Bottle Postern. She cooked her own outstanding Indian cuisine at an entertaining cooking class at Hipcooks. And she got to sit back...

We made our first crispy-crusted pizza! Typically all of our homemade pizzas come out with thick, puffy crusts. This time we stretched the dough out super thin and cranked the temperature of our oven up. Previously, the hottest we'd ever cooked something in our oven at was 500°. This time we bumped it up to 525° and let the oven sit for about 30...

It's official. I do not like green bean casserole. Until recently the only kind I'd ever had eaten used cream of mushroom soup and processed ingredients, so I thought maybe I just didn't like that version. I followed Alton Brown's recipe for the Best Ever Green Bean Casserole, with the topping slightly modified because the comments section...

I love a good soup and sandwich combo. Tomato and grilled cheese is one of my favorites, but tomato soup is best left for when juicy, ripe tomatoes are in season. Instead, I made one of my favorite soups, butternut squash soup, which I thought would pair nicely with a cheddar and havarti panini. It did! I loved dipping my sandwich into my bowl...
