Loaded Steakhouse Sandwich

Posted by Dax Phillips on July 12th, 2010 filed in Beef, Bread, Delicious, Game Day, Grilling, Sandwiches, Sauce

I’m a sucker when it comes to sandwiches. However simple or complex, the sandwich hits a home run every single time. Whether it be a simple grilled cheese sandwich, a peanut butter and jelly, or a banh mi, the sandwich typically consists of really great bread, a condiment, and packed full of excellent fixings. This [...]

Sloppy Joes

Posted by Dax Phillips on March 22nd, 2010 filed in Beef, Bread, Delicious, Game Day, Kids, Sandwiches, Sauce, Snack, Vegetables

As ironic as this might sound, and I am certain most parents have a child like this, but, I have one picky eater in my house. You all know the type. Chicken tenders and french fries could make this guy a happy camper for the rest of his life. He never gets tired of it. [...]

The Bánh Mi Sandwich

Posted by Dax Phillips on February 18th, 2010 filed in Bread, Delicious, Ethnic, Game Day, Grilling, Pork, Sandwiches, Snack, Vegetables

I have a lot of favorite sandwiches, however Bánh Mi has got to be up near the top of the list. If you have never had a Bánh Mi sandwich, you must seek one out. I will admit that while living in Dallas, Texas for a handful of years, I was blessed with great Vietnamese [...]

Jalapeno Popper Dip

So like many of you, I was faced with what to prepare for last week’s Super Bowl game. I had plenty to choose from, however I wanted to do something a bit different for the party that our cousins were hosting. For some odd reason my first reaction was thinking about all of the great [...]

Super Bowl Party

It’s that time of year. The annual celebration to see who is the best in the National Football League. The Super Bowl. New Orleans Saints versus Indiana Colts. As I am a Green Bay Packer fan, I am not really too concerned who will win this game, however I am concerned how happy it makes [...]

French Bread Pizza Recipe

Posted by Dax Phillips on February 2nd, 2010 filed in Appetizers, Bread, Cheese, Delicious, Game Day, Kids, Pizza, Sauce, Snack

I have said it from time to time on my site, that my middle child, is starting to explore the hot lunch program in his elementary school. As that often frightens me, I am glad that he is exploring the idea of having a variety of different foods on his plate rather than the typical [...]

The Perfect Grilled Cheese

Posted by Dax Phillips on January 25th, 2010 filed in Bread, Cheese, Delicious, Kids, Sandwiches

I had one of those days recently. You know the type, the day before my birthday. After reflecting on the past year, and looking forward, I was realizing that I was going to be a year older, and a bit of sadness came into play. Not sure why, but it did. Realizing that my kids [...]

Molletes – Mexico’s take on French Bread Pizza

Posted by Dax Phillips on January 18th, 2010 filed in Appetizers, Bread, Breakfast, Cheese, Mexican, Sandwiches, Snack

Mexican Mollete - A Mexican french bread pizza

The subject line could possibly be twisted and state America’s take on Mexico’s delicious, and simple baked bread. French bread pizza. What is a mollete anyway? A simple bolillo roll, sliced in half and topped with refried beans, cheese, and a variety of toppings, only to bake in the oven until lightly crisp. In my [...]

Muffuletta Sandwich

Posted by Dax Phillips on January 12th, 2010 filed in Bread, Delicious, Ethnic, Game Day, Italian, Sandwiches, Snack, Vegetables

I recall growing up and my parents really loving a particular sandwich. I never really understood the love of the sandwich until I visited New Orleans last year. Sure, my wife and I made an attempt to try as much of the food in so little time, but simply got stuck on the wonderful shrimp [...]

Italian Beef Sandwich

Posted by Dax Phillips on January 4th, 2010 filed in Beef, Bread, Delicious, Game Day, Italian, Sandwiches, Sauce

I was in a real sandwich mode this past week. The holiday break allowed me to think a bit slower on what I wanted to consume. These are good times, because it means I can slow cook practically anything, and trust me, I did. I started off the week slow roasting beef that I encrusted [...]

Crab Crostini

Posted by Dax Phillips on December 26th, 2009 filed in Appetizers, Bread, Delicious, Holiday, Seafood, Snack

The Christmas meal has left us with nothing but wonderful thoughts of kids opening their gifts early in the morning, to the celebration of an entire day. My Christmas morning was spent informing my kids at 5:45 in the morning that they really needed to get back to sleep. That did not work as I [...]

Roasted Vegetable Soup

Posted by Dax Phillips on December 17th, 2009 filed in Bread, Soup, Tips, Vegetables

Killing two birds with one stone. Now that is the ticket to some good meals during a busy week. This past week I made some really fantastic cornish hens with a lot of mushrooms and a wine reduction that was just out of this world. As I thought I was going to make a pan [...]

Chipotle and Honey Glazed Bacon

Posted by Dax Phillips on December 1st, 2009 filed in Bacon, Bread, Cheese, Delicious, Holiday, Sandwiches, Thanksgiving

This bacon could be sold in a candy store as it is just that good! As you know I have been tinkering with bacon for some time now, and for the most part, the experiments have been really amazing, but what bacon isn’t amazing? During the extended holiday break, I was able to experiment a [...]

Excellent Greek Burger

Posted by Dax Phillips on November 12th, 2009 filed in Beef, Bread, Delicious, Ethnic, Game Day, Grilling, Sandwiches

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 [...]

Cheese and Herb Stuffed Rolls

Posted by Dax Phillips on November 3rd, 2009 filed in Appetizers, Bread, Cheese, dough, Sides, Snack

I am so fortunate that my mom turned me onto pepperoni rolls, and I still admit that they could possibly be one of my all time favorite snacks. There is one thing about those rolls, and that is the bread. The rising, smell, and texture of these rolls are just excellent, and yes, they can [...]

Cauliflower Soup with Beer and Cheddar Cheese

Posted by Dax Phillips on October 28th, 2009 filed in Bread, Cheese, Delicious, Soup, Vegetables

Cauliflower Soup with Cheddar Cheese and Beer

Yes, you heard right. Beer and Cheddar. When you hear that combination, one might immediately think of Wisconsin. I am cool with that. Beer and cheese is a great combination, however you place it. I have made a couple of dishes using beer and cheese (soup) (appetizer) in the past, and they were really delicious, [...]

Mexican Torta with Carnitas

Posted by Dax Phillips on October 20th, 2009 filed in Bread, Delicious, Mexican, Pork, Sandwiches

Mexican Torta with slow roasted pork and black beans

I could have made some of the best carnitas this past weekend. Normally I stick with my standard recipe for making a slow roasted pork shoulder, however this time around I really wanted something different. I had some dried chili de arbol peppers that I wanted to use, and I thought how great they would [...]

Split Pea and Ham Soup

Posted by Dax Phillips on October 10th, 2009 filed in Bread, Delicious, Holiday, Pork, Soup, Vegetables

Often times when people hear the word ‘Split Pea Soup’ their instinct is to be a bit grossed out by the idea of pea soup. Sure, the color of the soup has a bit of a brownish green color, but if you have never had this soup before, it is now time to try this [...]

The BLT Sandwich – Bacon Lettuce and Tomato

Posted by Dax Phillips on September 25th, 2009 filed in Bacon, Bread, Delicious, Sandwiches, Vegetables

BLT Sandwich with Lemon Basil Mayonnaise

Lately I have been craving a bacon, lettuce, and tomato sandwich. I think probably that is due because of the freshly picked tomatoes that have stared at me every day, asking me ‘What are you going to do with me?’. Growing up, the BLT was always around. Typically, plain old white bread, toasted, served with [...]

Pita Bread Recipe

Posted by Dax Phillips on September 8th, 2009 filed in Appetizers, Bread, Chicken, Delicious, dough, Ethnic, Kids, Sandwiches

I don’t know if you are like me on this issue, but I am often disappointed when I buy halfway decent pita bread from the store, only to have it go bad in a couple of days. Not only that, but the texture and the thickness of the bread is not what I was expecting. [...]

Bacon and Chive Cornbread

Posted by Dax Phillips on August 27th, 2009 filed in Bacon, Bread, Grilling, Pork, Sides, Snack

There are times you want food to stick to your ribs. Hearty, flavorful, and dense. It is a cornbread unlike the light and fluffy cornbread that you might get at your local restaurant. This cornbread has mass. Not only is it perfect for sopping up sauce from a great barbecue dinner, but your leftovers can [...]

Bruschetta

Posted by Dax Phillips on August 23rd, 2009 filed in Appetizers, Bread, Cheese, Delicious, Ethnic, Italian, Sides, Snack

What more can be said about a great piece of bread, topped with a bit of olive oil? Literally, I could probably just have that for breakfast, lunch, or dinner, but when you add in a couple of extra ingredients, and a grill? Come on now, you know you are ready for a real …

Cinnamon Rolls

Posted by Dax Phillips on August 2nd, 2009 filed in Bread, Breakfast, Delicious, Dessert, dough, Holiday, Kids

Here I was, at it again and thinking what could I make my kids for dessert. I thought of some usual suspects like cookies, brownies, and then a flash of fudge came into sight, but that was quickly invaded by thoughts of cinnamon rolls. I have been thinking about cinnamon rolls for some time, and [...]

Great Pizza Dough Recipe

Posted by Dax Phillips on May 25th, 2009 filed in Appetizers, Bread, Delicious, dough, Kids, Pizza

I will admit this up front. I love pizza. I think pizza and possibly tacos are the best things in this world. This is probably due to the fact that you can make either of them any way you want them, depending on your taste buds, and your mood on any given day. My entire [...]

BLT (Bacon Lettuce Tomato) Salad

Posted by Dax Phillips on May 20th, 2009 filed in Bacon, Bread, Delicious, Salad, Sides, Vegetables

I declare that is Summer is officially here in Milwaukee. I typically go with the end of May, but I am sold on this wonderful weather we have been having, and with great weather comes great grilling and other fun foods. As I have been grilling a lot lately, and trust me I do not [...]
