Thai Style Roasted Pumpkin Seeds
It’s that time of year again where pumpkins have infiltrated my front porch. Don’t get me wrong, I actually get somewhat excited to pickup some pumpkins, and as much as I like taking the kids pumpkin picking, let’s face it, it’s not cheap. That is not to say I was not going to not going […]
Al Pastor Chicken Wings
If you have been following my blog for any time now you probably know that I love Mexican food. Who doesn’t right? You probably also know that I try and get out to eat at least once a week for work, and I typically go to my nearest Mexican restaurant, El Rey. When I have […]
Lemon Bars
My daughter loves cooking with me, and let’s just say the feeling is mutual, as I really love cooking with her. She has this amazing energy and drive that when she proposes that we cook together, or bake in her case, I simply cannot refuse. One evening she came over by me, sat in my […]
Apple Turnovers
Well, I still have not been able to make an apple pie with all of the apples we recently acquired from our apple picking a couple of weeks ago. Yes, even after every kid gets their daily apple for lunch, we are still left with plenty of more apples. As I thought of making another […]
Stuffed Butternut Squash with Boerewors
I love this time of year. The fall weather slowly approaches, the color of the leaves on the tree are beginning to turn color, and well, it’s comfort food season. That’s probably what I really love about this time of year! Back when our farmer’s market opened for the year, I was browsing some vegetable […]
Apple Crisp
Last week we decided to go on our annual apple picking adventure. We typically go later in mid-to-late October, but this year we thought we would get a jump start and be able to chose from a wider selection of apples. It was a gorgeous afternoon so we invited grandma and grandpa out for the […]
Chicken Cheese Steak Sandwiches
Cheesesteak, or Cheese Steak? Who cares really, because when it comes down to it the cheese steak (yes, I use that one) the sandwich is somewhat of a classic and just a killer sandwich. Now sure, we all know the classic is made from a top round of beef, or thinly sliced rib-eye beef, but […]
Curry and Coconut Corn on the Cob
Corn is in full bloom right now at the farmer’s market, and I don’t know about you, but I love corn. The white corn, or bi-colored corn is super tender, and oh so sweet right now that you almost want to just eat it right off of the cob. I’ve been buying about eight ears […]
Potato and Ham Frittata
A couple of weeks ago I did what I normally do every Saturday morning, and that is to wake up early, jump on my bike, and head to the farmer’s market. I get the best of both things, riding my bike before most folks are awake, and talking to the farmers at the market. This […]
BBQ Pizza
This past Memorial Day weekend was a blast. It was filled with family fun going to a baseball game, a day at the lake, and a birthday party. What could get better than that, right? With that said, I prepared plenty of food for the family to tailgate at the Brewers game, as well as […]
Roasted Cherry Tomatoes
This past week, I had asked my wife if she had any dinner ideas, or if there was anything she wanted to eat. She immediately fired back with homemade pizza with garlic cream sauce and mushrooms. Now I am personally a big fan of any pizza with garlic cream sauce, especially if it has caramelized mushrooms on […]
Baked French Toast with Bacon Crumble
Personally I am not a big fan of sweets for breakfast, and well, sweets in general, but my kids are. If you put anything sweet in front of my kids however, well, that is a different story, and as the great parent that I am, I decided to make them some baked french toast. Now […]
Homemade Granola
Since the beginning of the new year, I have been cooking up a storm. I suppose that is not too unusual as I am the one primarily whipping things up, or planning ahead for the busy work week. As any parent, we all know that when you walk through the door, you pretty much have noisy […]
Middle Eastern Egg Rolls
We are huge fans of egg rolls in my household. Everything from your classic Filipino egg roll, to hot dog egg rolls, Chinese style shrimp egg rolls, heck even Thanksgiving Day egg rolls, Reuben egg rolls and to top them off Mexican egg rolls. You can see, we love egg rolls. There was one idea I […]
Ham and Cheese Potato Skins
I am in love with potato skins. I really am. I think most people are as well. There is something to be said about them, and that is just plain awesome. There is also something to be said about a simple ham and cheese combination. To me, the ham and cheese sandwich is almost up […]
Roasted Squash Risotto
Risotto is one of those dishes that is not only sexy, but is also comforting. It is a dish that once you have had a good plate of it at a restaurant that you will want to create on your own, and you can. In the past, I have made mushroom risotto which was really delicious, […]
Rice Stuffed Meatballs
I am a guy that does not plan his meals during the week. I think the only time that might occur is on a Sunday, and only then do I think of using what I cook on Sunday as lunch leftovers for the upcoming work week. As example, this past week I had a hankering […]
Garlic Roasted Cauliflower
You have to love it when you come across something to make that is not only incredibly easy to prepare but it one that is extremely delicious as well. That is where this recipe comes into play. Roasted cauliflower. Cauliflower, at first glance, is not a very attractive vegetable and one that gets typically bypassed […]
Homemade Croutons
I know what you are probably thinking. Homemade croutons. Big deal. Let me say that croutons are a big deal in my house. I only say this because when croutons are placed on our nightly salads, those little nuggets of joy entice my kids, enough to have them grab maybe a carrot along with the […]
Cinnamon and Sugar Roasted Pumpkin Seeds
It’s Halloween time, and I can’t say that my kids are overly excited about trick or treating this year. A sign they are getting older, sure, but other than that, not sure what is going on. It’s candy for crying out loud! But there is one thing that my kids were excited about and that […]
Grape Pie
I will be the first to admit that I do not make nearly as many desserts for my kids. I don’t know why, but I probably lean on towards the fact that I personally do not need, nor like too many desserts. Selfish, I know. I often think of making sweets for them though. In […]
Pizza Nachos
I am a big fan, well, I think my entire family is, of nachos. It’s one of those meals, yes, I said meals, that is easy to throw together and everyone can build their own. We probably have nacho night once every couple of weeks, and it is one of those meals where the kids […]
Garlic Knots
If you are lucky to have a pizza joint near you that includes garlic knots as part of your order, well, you are pretty lucky. One of my coworkers turned me on to Sal’s Pizza in Milwaukee, and I must admit, their pizza is legit. One slice is all you need, and they typically have a […]
Baked Hash Browns
My family is a big fan of hash browns. Every single person in the house loves them, and that is rarely the case unless it is chocolate or some type of candy. The problem when I make crispy hash browns is that my pan is not large enough. Now sure, I could break out the electric […]
Creamy Penne Pasta Casserole
Fall is finally here in Wisconsin. Cool, dark mornings, and perfect afternoons lead into a cooler evening, and well to me, that means it is soup, stew, and casserole season. My favorite time of the year, hands down. I think I would trade fall for summer any time, and I do not joke when I […]
Broccoli and Cheese Potato Skins
I have really had cravings for broccoli lately. Broccoli and cheese to be exact. I’ve thought of soups, and I have made casseroles, and I just was not completely satisfied. I wanted more. As you may or may not be aware, I created a new site called Baked Potato Skins and it is my playground for […]
Nacho Style Mac and Cheese
It’s football season and that means a few things in my house. Typically lazy Sundays and great comfort food. The question always arises and they all know it’s coming, ‘what do you guys want for the game?’. Typically the kids don’t really care, nor do they fully partake in the appetizers, or chili, or other […]
Homemade Chex Mix
Chex Mix is a staple in my household. It is one of those snacks that everyone enjoys during the week. With that said, whenever I see the Chex Mix opened, I watch as everyone eats the mixture. As the bag gets tossed around, yes, forget the bowl here, my daughter picks out only the pretzels, […]
Compound Butter
Butter, something most everyone loves (or tries to avoid). I remember growing up and loving the simple things of bread and butter. I see one of my kids doing that now. He is content with simple bread and butter, heck, I have even seen him try to get away with making a butter sandwich for […]
Cinnamon and Sugar Tortillas
For the past couple of months, I have been making these little tortilla cups (breakfast, snack), and let me just say how much I love them. They are really fun to make, and even better, more fun to eat. Whenever I am making them using flour tortillas, I am left with some scraps from the […]
Baked Chicken Wings
Simple things yield true pleasures, well, at least in the world of baked chicken wings that is. Our family members, and you probably know or have them in your family as well, love chicken wings. My wife is not a fan, and we never poke fun at her because of it, but my son and […]
Preserved Lemons
I have been on a real citrus kick lately. Maybe it is the season, but I have been going through a lot of lemons and limes. For the last couple of weeks I have been juicing close to nearly 40 limes, only to pour a bit of the juice into smoothies or weekend cocktails. The […]
Taco Cups
While I was making blueberry muffins with my daughter last weekend, I began thinking of what I could make in the muffin tin. I think the only thing I have ever made with those muffin tins, are, well, muffins. Go figure. But as I look at them, and looked on top of my counter, I […]
Perfect Blueberry Muffins
Let me start by saying, I love cooking with my kids. However, with that said, there are not a whole lot of times during the weekday that I can present that opportunity due to busy schedules. Furthermore, I ‘think’ the last thing that is on their mind when they get home from school is a […]
Blueberry Crumble
I have to say that my friend over at Dishing Up Delights does a fantastic job on all of her recipes, but the ones that catch my eyes are her desserts. As you can probably tell from my own postings, that I am not that big into desserts, however I should be as my kids […]
