Pizza Al Pastor

pizza-al-pastor

Or I suppose you can call this one Al Pastor Pizza, however you decide, I will be fine with it. Did I ever tell you I am a sucker when it comes to tacos al pastor? I’m such a fan of the flavors of al pastor that they are my go to taco wherever I […]

Butternut Squash Gnocchi

Butternut Squash Gnocchi

It’s nearing winter time here in the great state of Wisconsin, and I still have a handful of butternut squash that I pulled from the garden weeks ago. Now don’t get me wrong here, but I am not the biggest fan of butternut squash. I really only grew it to make a couple of dishes […]

Cajun Style Mac and Cheese

Cajun Style Mac and Cheese

I don’t remember growing up if I was that big of a fan of mac and cheese. I think we ate more mashed potatoes more than anything when it came to side dishes, but that is not to say that I do not love mac and cheese. Mac and cheese could very well be one […]

Greek Nachos

Greek Nachos

I just love it when it comes to Sunday afternoons. Those are the days where, as a family, we wind down, watch football, eat some comforting food, and get ready for the week ahead. It seems as though Sundays are often the times I am also the most creative in the kitchen. It could be […]

Pizza Egg Rolls

How to make pizza egg rolls

I’ve had this idea of making Totino’s style pizza rolls for some time now. I’m not sure why, as I don’t recall the last time I purchased a bag of them, but I do recall liking them when I did pop 5 or 10 of them in my mouth. You know, when you popped one […]

Chicken Tostadas

Chicken Tostadas Recipe

I frequent a local Mexican restaurant about once a week, and it is typically the same one every time. They know me so well, almost like Norm Peterson in Cheers, whereas as soon as I find a place to sit, I am delivered my usual horchata, and on occasion they simply bring me my usual […]

Greek Salad Grilled Cheese Sandwich

Greek Grilled Cheese Sandwich

This summer we planted tomatoes, cucumbers, peppers, beans, squash, and lettuces, along with herbs and strawberries. It was actually a very good year and we had an abundance of vegetables. As I looked at my counter top this past week, it was loaded with cucumbers and tomatoes, and I knew I had to do something […]

Chicken Caesar Salad Sandwich

Chicken Caesar Sandwich

Are you like me, that when you go to a restaurant and get the opportunity to get a side salad that you immediately go for the caesar salad? I love a great caesar salad. The dressing just has that perfect salt and creaminess to it that it is just hard to resist. Did you also […]

Chicken Cheese Steak Sandwiches

Chicken Cheese Steak Sandwich Recipe

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 […]

Mac and Cheese Burger

Mac and Cheese Burger Recipe

Some times I come up with some crazy recipe when I scavenge through my refrigerator. This again is one of those times, and it was all due to some leftover mac and cheese that my kid had his fill on. I wasn’t going to let it go to waste. Who lets mac and cheese go […]

Broccoli and Cheddar Grilled Cheese Sandwich

Broccoli and Cheddar Grilled Cheese Sandwich Recipe

It wasn’t too long ago when I served up a fish fry, including the fried smelt, for the family. The fish fry had all of the fixings including some nice french fries, and a salted caraway bread. I love me some nice salted, caraway bread, but with that said, I had about half a loaf […]

Kale and Sausage Pizza

Kale and Sausage Pizza

I was never a big fan with eating kale until a couple of years ago. I know, I know, but it was not one of those common household ingredients when growing up, nor was it something I was anxious to buy at the store. That all changed though when I started making kale chips. I […]

Olive and Blue Cheese Pizza

Olive and Blue Cheese Pizza Recipe

You all know how much I love making pizza. Everything from the dough, the sauce, and the fun part for me is the toppings. One of my latest creations was the Wisconsin bratwurst pizza, and as I normally think that while eating a slice that it might be my most favorite slice of pizza ever, […]

Peanut Butter and Jelly Bacon Cheeseburger

Peanut butter and Jelly Bacon Cheeseburger Recipe

I know what you are probably thinking right of the bat. Peanut butter and Jelly on a bacon cheeseburger, what are you nuts?! Maybe I am, and maybe I took a small risk at destroying a perfectly great smashed style burger, but stay me on this one. The thought of making this burger only came […]

Pizza Tots

Pizza Tots

Last week I was thinking of things to make that would be easy and delicious. As you probably know, I have been on a pizza making rampage recently, and as I thought of creating a couple of more pizza recipes, I decided that I would take what I love in a pizza, and substitute the […]

Merkts Cheeseburger

Posted by Dax Phillips on July 12th, 2013 filed in Beef, Burgers, Cheese, Game Day, Grilling, Sandwiches, Snack, Wisconsin
Merkts Cheeseburger

I don’t know what it is lately, but I have been loving smashed style burgers. In the past I was making burgers, typically on the grill, where they were big, plump, and obviously delicious, but now I have taken the burgers inside on a cast iron skillet, and allowing them to get nice and caramelized. […]

Bacon and Jalapeno Mac and Cheese

Bacon and Jalapeno Mac and Cheese

I’m crazy about a good mac and cheese, and as I have been making a variety for the past handful of years, I think we all decided that this bacon and jalapeno mac and cheese might just be the winner. Not too long ago I was teaching my boys how to smoke ribs, and as […]

Wisconsin Bratwurst Pizza

Wisconsin Bratwurst Pizza

Wisconsin is known for a lot of great things. If you are not familiar with the state of Wisconsin, well, let me just say that it is beautiful. Great state parks, the great lakes, awesome summer festivals, the “Fonz”, Laverne and Shirley, cheese, beer, and let us not forget, brats.  That’s right, brats. The infamous […]

Cuban Frita

Cuban Frita

After reviewing some of the photos that many of you pin from my website, I noticed that the Cuban burger gets tagged quiet a bit, and there is no wonder why. After all, it is everything you want in a great Cuban sandwich but done in a burger kind of way. That got me thinking, and after […]

Bacon Cheeseburger Flatbread

Bacon Cheeseburger Flatbread Recipe

I’ll be the first to admit, I love a good cheeseburger. I know it is grilling season and all, and trust me I love a great burger cooked over charcoal, and I especially have been loving the smash style burgers on a cast iron skillet, but some times you just need to change some things […]

Gyro Pizza

Gyro Pizza Recipe

Let me start by saying nothing beats a good slice of pizza. A while ago I would have thought that a simple taco, or maybe even a cheese burger would trump a slice of pizza, but I think I am sticking with the pizza. You have probably noticed that I have been making a lot […]

BBQ Pizza Recipe

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 […]

Ham and Cheese Waffles

Ham and Cheese Waffles Recipe

About once a month I decide to make breakfast for dinner. I typically resort to this option because I have nothing planned, or I know that all of the kids will eat very well and probably lick their plates when finished.  This past week was no exception. I walked in the door, had nothing planned […]

Mushroom, Onion, and Rosemary Pizza

Mushroom, Onion, and Rosemary Pizza

You know me by now, and you know that I love pizza. I love it so much that I have created close to twenty different pizzas, and typically when I make a batch of pizza dough during the week, I try to make a different type of pizza. So this past week when I was […]

Jalapeño Popper Pizza

Posted by Dax Phillips on May 6th, 2013 filed in Appetizers, Cheese, Game Day, Pizza, Sides
Jalapeño Popper Pizza

Saying Jalapeño Popper Pizza three times almost becomes a tongue twister! OK, so I went there. Yes, I turned the jalapeño popper into a pizza because I was craving some jalapeño poppers but really did not want to core out a handful of jalapeno peppers, stuff them, coat them, and fry them. Sure, I have made jalapeño poppers before, along with some jalapeño popper […]
