Mexican Birria Recipe
Soup and stew season is finally here. As the snow falls on top of the house, the season of slow cooking takes shape. As you have probably noticed, I have had a real craving for low and slow tacos as indicated in my pork tinga recipe, and recently I really wanted to turn up the [...]
Excellent Greek Burger
I only know a few people who do not like olives, but I am not one of them. I love them. I love them stuffed, put in drinks, and placed in all kinds of foods. I think one of my favorite olives is the kalamata. Every time I pass by them in the market, I [...]
Yum Nua (Thai Beef Salad) with Shrimp and Squid
While living in Dallas, Texas, I encountered a lot of different food. I talk about it quite a bit on this site, however I think it deserves to be talked about. Sure, I traveled to New York City a couple of times while representing Ad agencies in winning awards for websites back in the day, [...]
Minestrone – Italian Soup
You have probably had this soup some time during your life, and probably as a kid. It most likely came out of a can, you added water, and brought it up to temperature. I know I was one of those kids. We are big kids now, and big kids (and little) deserve much better than [...]
Beef Stew
It is that time of year in Wisconsin. That time where the slow cookers are a common site in most kitchens. A time for warm soup, and delicious stews. After all, there is something to be said about a nice warm, comforting meal when coming in from a cold and rainy day. Beef stew is [...]
Shepherds Pie
You either love it or hate it, but I am not a hater, and this dish could possibly rank up there with the best of comfort foods. The shepherds pie is almost like a pot pie, and almost like a torta mixture, but it is not. This is a dish that we probably all grew [...]
Kofta – Lebanese Meatloaf
We have had a lot of relatives in town lately and it seems to have gone non-stop in terms of get togethers, typically surround by food and wine. Don’t get me wrong, I love these times as they include great stories, laughter, and result in exhaustion. You know you had a great day when those [...]
Pho Bo – Vietnamese Noodle Soup
It has been about fifteen years now since I first laid eyes on a noodle soup known as Pho. While arriving into Dallas, Texas nearly fifteen years ago, a lot was new to me then. Everything from the culture, to the cuisine, and everything in between, life sure did take on some surprises for me [...]
Gingered Beef Sandwich with Caramelized Onions
I had a real craving for beef the other day, so my son and I traveled to our local grocery store and browsed the beef aisle. We talked about what he wanted, and he responded with ‘plain’ and ‘on the grill’. You have to love those types of responses from a seven year old. Plain [...]
Homemade Gyros on the Grill
You know those days where you cannot get a particular food item off of your mind? I was having days upon days of the thought of a gyro. Unfortunately I live in a part of town that truly does not have a good gyro sandwich, and the closest one to me would be near Milwaukee’s [...]
Tostada
If you haven’t found out already, I love Mexican food. I love everything about it, and could probably eat it every day. There is however one Mexican dish that I rarely get at a restaurant, but have no problem making it at home. That is the tostada. I love the tostada, don’t get me wrong, [...]
Pizza Burger
Do you have any good memories of those childhood cafeteria days? You remember those cafeteria style pizza burgers you had as a kid? Well, these are not those. These are the adult version of those pizza burgers, but stuffed, perfectly seared, and topped with some really nice ingredients. Now sure, I have tinkered with stuffed [...]
Recipe for Carne Asada
Carne who? Carne asada. Don’t let the name prevent you from making this really easy dish. Car-neh A-sah-dah. There, that easy. First question to ask yourself, however is, tacos, burritos, or chimichangas? That should be what is for lunch or dinner with the carne asada. Carne asada, in my opinion, is a delicious cut of [...]
Reuben Sandwich
I love this time a year, when St. Patrick’s day is nearing. This is the time of year where I typically buy a couple of corned beef’s as they are typically on sale. It is also the time of year where I make a batch of corned beef hash, and get my Reuben sandwich on. [...]
Asian Style Beef Jerky
Who doesn’t love beef jerky? I mean come on, this is one delicious snack. However, it is often difficult to find really good jerky. I grew up on jerky for the most part. My dad used to use a dehydrator on it, then he got into smoking it, using, well of course, his smoker. I [...]
Spaghetti and Meatballs
Before I begin, I am really curious if you are already making homemade sauce and meatballs, how are you doing yours? Please feel free to comment below. There are a couple of dishes my wife makes, and one of them is spaghetti and meatballs. Don’t get me wrong, but if you know me, when I [...]
Game Day Nachos
There is something to be said about nachos. To me, they are like a pizza, an omelet, a salad. What I mean is that you can make them as simple as you want, or as complex as you want. Ingredients can be somewhat endless, so you have some creative freedom on them as well. In [...]
Little Buns
My mom has been wanting me to make these little buns for some time now, and I always glance at this recipe when paging through the family recipe album. I thought I would give them a try. Little buns are this nice little morsels, packed with some interesting ingredients, wrapped in crescent rolls, frozen, then [...]
Thai Beef
I make this dish about once month because it is super simple to make, and has some really excellent flavors that keep you coming back time and time again. The great thing is that you can eat this alone as a snack and serve with a sweet and hot dipping sauce, or use it …
Roast Beef with Au Jus
Roast beef sandwiches have got to be my favorite, and they are pretty much the go to sandwich when ordering out. My wife on the other hand is a turkey sandwich, and the kids are torn between ham or turkey. Well, yesterday I had a hankering for some roast beef, and thoughts of french onion [...]
Corned Beef Hash
I admit it. I love corned beef, in particular, corned beef sandwiches. I was recently thinking of recipes that my parents used to make while growing up, and as I investigated my freezers for ideas, the one recipe that came to mind was my dad’s corned beef hash. My dad is kind of, well, he [...]
Pulled Beef with Peperoncini Peppers
I will start by giving my hats off to my Aunt Beth for this recipe. A few years back while visiting relatives in Indiana, my aunt had a slow cooker going with beef and peperoncini peppers. At first thought, I thought ‘peperoncini peppers?’, but after trying this, and packing it high on a bun, I [...]
Steak Fajitas
I do not make this often, however I wanted to make the fajitas due to the fact that for the most part, my colleague Aaron orders these most every time we go have mexican food. I have to admit, the fajita is not only fun to make, but fun to eat, especially if sharing. This [...]
Stuffed Peppers
Stuffed peppers have been on my mind for some time now. I am not sure why, probably because I was reminiscing on the days when my mom would make stuffed peppers. These are truly delicious, easy to make, and packed full of flavors. My recent trip to El Rey yielded some wonderfully big peppers, the [...]
Rustic Spaghetti Sauce with Meat
I am facing the reality that I planted too many tomato plants this year, and they are coming off the vine like you will not believe. I have made salsas, fresh tomatoes with soy sauce and fresh ground pepper, tomatoes on every salad, you name. Well, don’t name it because there is one sauce that [...]
Blue Cheese Dressing
As of lately, I have been thinking about blue cheese, probably because I have chicken wings on my mind as well. Nearly two years ago, I made a blue dressing, around the holidays, that rocked the socks off my guests. I have no idea why I did not make it over the past year or [...]
Bacon Cheeseburger Pizza
I have to start by saying how surprised I was to see my wife eat this pizza. Not only eat it, but love it, and have it the next day for lunch, hence why I must document it. Upon frequenting our local pizza/game place (Stonefire Pizza), I notice that my wife always gets one type [...]
Shish kebab
My family was invited to a get together these past couple of weeks, to basically enjoy conversation, drinks, and food, something we look forward to. We received a call the night before with the invitation. The host said not to worry about bringing anything and that they would have hotdogs and burgers for the kids [...]
Stuffed Burgers
We all know what season it is, it is grilling season; the time to hang outdoors with family and friends, for a few months at least (Milwaukee, WI) before we go back into hibernation mode. Grilling season is something that is truly enjoyed by many, and as some in my network grill all year around, [...]
Rostisserie-Styled Beef
Spring is in the air! When Spring is in the air, that means a few things; yard work, more yard work, and getting the grill ready. My parents were kind enough to purchase a rotisserie attachment for my grill as a Christmas present. Trust me, I have been eager to use this attachment since …
Sopes
I was first introduced to sopes nearly eight years ago while working at Homeboyz Interactive. It was Ruth who stated her mother was bringing in a dish for lunch, and she was seriously excited about. Something Ruth truly loved, and you know when someone is that excited about something, it has got to be good. [...]
The Corned Beef Sandwich
You know those times when you constantly cannot get something out of your mind, especially when it comes to food? I am having one of those times, and you guessed it, the corned beef sandwich is taking over. I typically make corned beef twice a year, in the Spring for St. Patrick’s Day, and once [...]
Tamales
The tamale is a thing of beauty, and is something that tastes so natural and earthy to me. Having worked with masa in the past, I wanted to extend it beyond the tortilla, and therefore I came up with the notion of making the tamale. Making the tamale is a bit of a process (making [...]
My Take on Banh Mi
While living in Dallas, Texas, I would often frequent the markets on the weekends. Typically the Mexican supermercados as they were in abundance, however, I would also visit quite a few Asian markets. The reason being is that all of their ingredients were much more fresh, and cheaper than the traditional grocery store. During …
Drunken Beef
As you might recall, it was not too long ago that I made a prime rib. This six pounder fed my entire family, made two batches of french onion soup that served 10, and allowed me to make this next recipe. Now, members of my family have talked about this one for some time so [...]
Barbecue (BBQ) Sauce
Lately, I have been watching shows on barbecue. These shows covers areas of our country where, let’s face it, bbq is king. These states include North Carolina, Texas, and Tennessee. When I see shows like this, it makes me want to do two things; slow cook some pork, and eat it with some really great [...]
Bring on the Chimichanga
Whatever restaurant we go to, my wife always, yes, always orders the chimichanga. For those of you reading and do not know what a chimichanga is, it is first and foremost a thing of beauty, and secondly it is a deep fried burrito that is wrapped and folded as to not allow the grease to [...]
