Lured by oysters, shrimp, and crab claws, I was hooked. </p> <p><img alt="image" src="http://media.tumblr.com/tumblr_messvjEd9n1qayqrj.jpg"/></p> <p><img alt="image" src="http://media.tumblr.com/tumblr_messw86ghd1qayqrj.jpg"/></p> <p>Moving on from crustaceans to cakes, it is ALL about the King of confection, Executive Chef Bill Yosses, nicknamed &#8220;The Crust Master&#8221; by the President.</p> <p><strong><em><img alt="image" src="http://media.tumblr.com/tumblr_messz0EPJW1qayqrj.jpg"/></em></strong></p> <p>Although the assortment of sweets included treats such as apple pie, gingerbread cookies, sticky toffee pudding, and coconut cake, my hands down (or face first in my case) favorite  was his famous huckleberry pie which is always present at the White House Thanksgiving dinners.  I am telling you - this pie is ambrosia. Between the huckleberries, blueberries, the local artisanal honey, and the hint of cinnamon, vanilla, and lemon, THIS is the pinnacle of pies; the pie in the sky if you will. </p> <p><img alt="image" src="http://media.tumblr.com/tumblr_messxzC0Ej1qayqrj.jpg"/></p> <p>That being said, the coconut cream cake and the strawberry shortcake smothered with whipped cream and fresh strawberries were my sweet sloppy seconds tied with Yosses&#8217; tantalizing toffee pudding. </p> <p><img alt="image" src="http://media.tumblr.com/tumblr_messzsxNkj1qayqrj.jpg"/></p> <p><img alt="image" src="http://media.tumblr.com/tumblr_mest09tstd1qayqrj.jpg"/></p> <p>The &#8220;pudding&#8221; is really more of a rich cake made magical with Medjool dates, oh and the brown sugar, butter, and cream probably help as well. It was a cornucopia of confection and my affection for the Obamas was sweetened that much more. Although these saintly sweets were just what you&#8217;d expect from the most famous house in the world, they&#8217;d probably play a more devilish role in Michelle Obama&#8217;s &#8220;My Plate&#8221; method. That&#8217;s what #WomanVersusFood is ALL about. Eat hard. Work-out hard. You better believe I was back in the gym the next day. Did I mention Michelle&#8217;s biceps? Ofcourse I am inspired by her athletic physique, but how else do you think I was able to out-elbow everyone for the pie. Fit femmes win every time. </p> <div></div>http://womanversusfood.tumblr.com/post/37620537852http://womanversusfood.tumblr.com/post/37620537852Mon, 10 Dec 2012 00:34:39 -0500<img src="http://24.media.tumblr.com/d3e6b5a0fc79cea18ae1d76824045db5/tumblr_mes1cfiKGJ1qgf0w3o1_500.jpg"/><br/><br/><p>Yes this is brilliantly delicious #EXTRAHappyHolidays</p>http://womanversusfood.tumblr.com/post/37591521280http://womanversusfood.tumblr.com/post/37591521280Sun, 09 Dec 2012 18:03:44 -0500<img src="http://25.media.tumblr.com/4ca22df7ed8d601ffd703d4081eac516/tumblr_mesb1i9duJ1rs5rh7o1_500.jpg"/><br/><br/><p>The kale salad with squash, almonds, & baked eggs at @NorthernSpyFood is a gift to brunchers everywhere</p>http://womanversusfood.tumblr.com/post/37587509666http://womanversusfood.tumblr.com/post/37587509666Sun, 09 Dec 2012 17:12:54 -0500<img src="http://24.media.tumblr.com/tumblr_mdx9x7oKHD1rs5rh7o1_500.jpg"/><br/><br/><p>My harvest salad: mixed mesclun greens, roasted butternut squash, anjou pears, pomegranate seeds, whole pecans, spicy pecan vinegar</p>http://womanversusfood.tumblr.com/post/36332592365http://womanversusfood.tumblr.com/post/36332592365Thu, 22 Nov 2012 23:03:07 -0500<p>Walnut/Pecan/Almond crust from scratch, obviously</p> <p><img src="http://media.tumblr.com/tumblr_mdv2a29YNw1qayqrj.png"/></p> <p>My homemade paleo pumpkin pie </p> <p><img src="http://media.tumblr.com/tumblr_mdv2ahrF6D1qayqrj.png"/></p>http://womanversusfood.tumblr.com/post/36242340713http://womanversusfood.tumblr.com/post/36242340713Wed, 21 Nov 2012 18:25:23 -0500<img src="http://25.media.tumblr.com/tumblr_mdow7n2xY81rs5rh7o1_500.jpg"/><br/><br/><p><span>My pumpkin pie oatmeal with mixed berries #womanversusfood #PenchantForPumpkin #Thanksgiving</span></p>http://womanversusfood.tumblr.com/post/35988935715http://womanversusfood.tumblr.com/post/35988935715Sun, 18 Nov 2012 10:26:11 -0500<img src="http://24.media.tumblr.com/tumblr_mdavqouxIk1rs5rh7o1_500.png"/><br/><br/>http://womanversusfood.tumblr.com/post/35450671222http://womanversusfood.tumblr.com/post/35450671222Sat, 10 Nov 2012 20:49:36 -0500<img src="http://25.media.tumblr.com/tumblr_mdavnutB5l1rs5rh7o1_500.png"/><br/><br/>http://womanversusfood.tumblr.com/post/35450560204http://womanversusfood.tumblr.com/post/35450560204Sat, 10 Nov 2012 20:47:54 -0500<img src="http://24.media.tumblr.com/tumblr_mco9buhkWe1rs5rh7o1_500.jpg"/><br/><br/><p><span>Cooking Up A Storm (pun intended): A vat of my chicken cacciatore #womanversusfood #SandySmorgasbord</span></p>http://womanversusfood.tumblr.com/post/34586058388http://womanversusfood.tumblr.com/post/34586058388Mon, 29 Oct 2012 16:38:18 -0400<img src="http://24.media.tumblr.com/tumblr_mclsfeDhCl1rs5rh7o1_500.jpg"/><br/><br/><p>My golden flax pumpkin oat pancakes: an original @AlliHagendorf #womanversusfood creation #IDontGoOutForBrunch</p>http://womanversusfood.tumblr.com/post/34481394448http://womanversusfood.tumblr.com/post/34481394448Sun, 28 Oct 2012 08:38:02 -0400<img src="http://25.media.tumblr.com/tumblr_mcerotUTP91rs5rh7o1_400.png"/><br/><br/><p>Watching WWE’s John Cena making ‘Salted Bourbon Caramel Apples’ on @TheChew.
