Breakfast Cups
I have to admit, I like planning things to do for Mother’s Day. I will also admit that my wife works pretty darn hard every week, not only in her full-time job, but also taking care of the kids. So as the ‘big day’ quickly approached this past weekend, my job was to make sure [...]
Patty Melt
This could hands down be the best cheeseburger you might ever have. Hands down. See the patty melt, at least in my opinion, is not your standard cheeseburger. It’s an old school cheeseburger. It’s the cheeseburger that goes back to the roots of the burger when it was served on sliced bread, and not a [...]
SloPig Milwaukee Event
I was honored to attend an event in Milwaukee, Wisconsin last night known as SloPig. In a nutshell, it is an event and competition celebrating amazing food and great punch. According to their website “SloPig is designed to be a giant cocktail party with lots of nibbling, lots of roaming around and plenty of punch [...]
Beer Mac and Cheese
As many of you might already be aware, I am from Wisconsin. Among so many amazing things, Wisconsin is known for cheese, and beer. We are often referred to as ‘Cheeseheads’, and live in the land of dairy. I’m actually cool with all of that. I like the fact that we are known for cheese, [...]
SLT – Speck, Lettuce, and Tomato Sandwich
Speck. It is something that we probably do not encounter all that often, nor maybe even heard of, and that is why I am introducing it to you today. Speck is basically made from the hind leg of a pig, and deboned, but the trick to speck is that it is cured and smoked much [...]
Peanut Butter, Banana, and Bacon Sandwich
The title says it all. It’s a mouthful of awesomeness. I have been wanting to make a bacon and peanut butter sandwich for my oldest kid for some time. I only wanted to make it because peanut butter and bacon are probably his two favorite things to eat. A peanut butter sandwich is packed in [...]
Idaho Nachos
When growing up, I would pretty much ride my skateboard, or whatever bicycle I picked up outside of Goodwill, everywhere. I would ride a skateboard often times fifteen miles a day, if not more. I would bike to another town, strapping my skateboard across my back, only to skate on someone’s skateboard ramp all day, [...]
Happy Valentine’s Day
Enough said.
Bacon and Blue Cheeseburger Potato Skins
I will tell you a little bit more about me. I love a good cheeseburger. Hands down, nothing beats a really good cheeseburger, and one of my all time favorite burgers is a bacon and blue cheese burger. Simple, yet complex in flavor, this type of burger has great smokiness from bacon, and a great [...]
Bacon Jam
Two things I love in the morning are bacon and coffee. With that said, I decided to make some bacon jam. You heard that right, bacon jam. I am always asking my kids what they want to eat over the weekend, and time and time again, the answer I always get from my oldest is, [...]
Bacon Cheese Ball
One day I was cruising through one of our grocery stores in town and noticed a prepackaged cheese ball in one of the displays. I quickly investigated the cheese ball, and thought to myself, how boring. The ingredients were basically cream cheese and nuts. It was confirmed, boring. So after some quick thought into the [...]
Garlic Potato Chip Stacked Bacon Burger
The title of this recipe is a mouthful, literally, and boy was it ever delicious. I came up with this idea for a burger for a couple of reasons. One, and probably most importantly, is that my oldest kid has some interesting eating habits. For instance whenever I order out sandwiches from Jimmy John’s, he [...]
The Hot Brown Sandwich
If you have never traveled through Kentucky, well, I am not sure what to tell you. Kentucky is a really beautiful state, and as many of us might know Kentucky for its Bluegrass music, or the Kentucky Derby, or better yet that Abraham Lincoln was born, I know it for the mint juleps and a [...]
Caramelized Onion and Maple Bacon Pizza
I don’t know what I have been loving more lately. Could it be the smell and taste of caramelized onions, or the process of making homemade bacon? Whatever the answer is to that question remains a mystery in my house, but I can tell you that I simply love caramelized onions, and bacon. I did not [...]
Toasted Ciabatta Sandwich with Bacon and Brie
It must be that time of year in Wisconsin. That time where you really crave comfort food. It must be something in the air, whether it is the temperature being in the upper 60′s or the light breeze that goes along with it. This past weekend was a comfort food explosion in my kitchen, and [...]
Maple Ice Cream with Bacon Crumble
That’s right. I made it. Maple ice cream with homemade bacon crumble. When I first made bacon some weeks ago, I was thinking to myself ‘what am I going to do with all of this bacon?’. Well, that was a silly question as I was able to give some away, and well, the rest was [...]
Homemade Bacon
Yep, I said it. Homemade bacon. When I said those words to my oldest child it was as if it was the best day ever. It has been a long time coming, but I finally went through and have made some of the best bacon I think I have ever had. I am honest when [...]
Smoked Pheasant Breast
That’s right, I said it, smoked pheasant breast. Pheasant is something you do not normally see when you go grocery shopping, however, I was lucky enough to be provided one from a hunter, a hunter I have yet to meet. They call him “Boot”, and as he has been following my site for some time, [...]
Deviled Eggs with Blue Cheese and Chorizo
Easter is quickly approaching and if there is one thing that I always make for the kids, it is hard boiled eggs. In my opinion, there is a bit of a trick to cooking hard boiled eggs. Be it the cook time, or the post cold water bath for them, there is a science to [...]
The Pretzel Burger
I don’t know about you, but burgers are becoming my favorite meal. Now don’t get me wrong, I have always loved a great burger, but I have been craving them at least once a week. Recently my have family has explored burger outlets around Milwaukee including Fuddruckers, Five Guys, Kopp’s, and have thought of going [...]
Bacon and Cheddar Wraps
Last week I was exploring ideas for appetizers for the upcoming Thanksgiving celebration. As many of you know, Thanksgiving is my favorite holiday, not because I get the opportunity to make several dishes, but also because it is a great day to hang out with family and friends. As we went back and forth on [...]
Caramelized Onion and Bacon Gratin
There is something to be said about the smell of caramelized onions, and it is not unusual in my house, to slowly cook caramelized onions at least once a week. I love the low and slow process of watching delicious onions turn into a great dark brown color, which is just packed full of flavor. [...]
Prosciutto and Cedar Wrapped Asparagus Bundles
Recently a great new supermarket opened up in our neighborhood, Sendik’s Food Market. I cannot tell you how thrilled I was to hear that we were finally getting a great market, full of fresh produce, cheese, seafood, and bakery, among other things. So like many, I paid my first visit and was blown away by [...]
Bacon Wrapped Corn Dogs
I don’t know what has come over me lately, but corn dogs have been on my mind for some time now. I think it has been all the chatter on my social networks where people have talking about their state fair, and as we all know it, that is the place where you can get [...]
Southern Greens Recipe
When many of us hear the words ‘cooked greens’, we typically steer clear. Maybe it is a northern thing, but cooked greens are actually very good, especially when done right. Growing up, my worst nightmares at dinner could have possibly been green beans, canned cooked peas, and brussels sprouts. To this day, they are all [...]
