Flavors of Fall Pizza

Flavors of Fall Pizza
One of the most different things about living in the Northwest is experiencing consistent fall weather.  South Texas may get a couple days of fall weather, but nothing like what is happening here. I don’t care for the crisp and dreary weather, except it does give me good reason to experiment with fall flavors that I haven’t eaten very much. One...

Pulled BBQ Chicken Quesadillas

Pulled BBQ Chicken Quesadillas
Look, the first thing you do when you start a band is talk about your influences. That's how you figure out what kind of band you want to be. So who do you like? \-Jack Black, School of Rock The same is true for cooking. And our influences are clearly biased by our home state. Today, our recipe is going to fuse the two most important flavors...

Taco Saucers

Taco Saucers
Erin and I have been making this great Mexican twist for a few years now, and we couldn't be happier. It's essentially an open face sandwich for tacos, and that makes it amazing. The design of the taco saucer allows for better ingredient layering, so when you take a bite, you'll get a much more balanced taste of ingredients. Not convinced to try...

Salmon Salad Sandwiches

Salmon Salad Sandwiches
Trips to Pike's Place Market always end with a yummy dinner of fresh fish and veggies. Last night we had delicious baked salmon with pesto and a side of garlic pepper corn. Nothing beats a simply prepared fish dinner. Since we were so excited to eat our dinner, we forgot to take pictures of our meal! So instead we took pictures of our...

Fish 'n' Chips

Fish 'n' Chips
It’s hard to decide what the best thing the Brits have given us. Great beer, John Cleese, Harry Potter. But, after long deliberation, it has to be a food dish that tops the list of British contributions to the world. If you’ve sampled British fare by partaking in the surprisingly disappointing English Breakfast with its pleasantly named blood...

Eggplant Parmesan Burgers

Eggplant Parmesan Burgers
Reading through foodgawker awhile back, I saw a recipe for eggplant parmesan sliders. I was so intrigued by such a creative idea. Dustin and I love to make eggplant parmesan, so the idea of taking eggplant parmesan and adding a bun to make it into a burger sounded like the perfect dish for us to try. The recipe was vegan so we adapted it to...

Chicken and Sour Cream Enchiladas with Green Chiles

Chicken and Sour Cream Enchiladas with Green Chiles
One of the things we already miss most about Texas is good Mexican food (e.g. Lupe Tortilla, El Mirador, Pappasitos, etc.) We seriously haven’t even found mediocre Mexican unless you count Chipotle or other similar burrito joints, which are good but no substitute for some good old fashioned Tex-Mex. For this reason we try to make Mexican food...

Pizza Night

Pizza Night
To celebrate the purchase of our new Nikon D5100 camera, we decided to make homemade pizza and start our own blog to chronicle our foodie adventures in Washington state (hence the name Wafoodie, as in WA Foodie). Inspired by foodgawker, we thought taking pictures of the food we so love to make would be a great way to practice our photography...
