Turkey Stuffed Jalapeno Peppers
Peppers are in abundance right now, and you will typically see people’s backyards full of them. Jalapeno and serrano peppers are probably my favorite peppers and I use them in a lot of my dishes. I actually used some serrano chilies on top of my pizza last night, that is how much I like them. [...]
Canadian Bacon, Egg, and Cheese Sandwich
It could possibly be my all time favorite breakfast, sandwich that is. I think that from a young age, I great up having a McDonald’s egg mcmuffin sandwich from time to time. I think it has something to do with the great smell of Canadian bacon. Pin It Breakfast, and sandwiches are my favorite, and [...]
Arancini – Fried Italian Rice Balls
You know when you see people get excited about food, right? The facial expression, the down right excitement knowing that they are going to be eating something very good, very soon. That was my mom when I was growing up, and the excitement came from a large fried ball from an Italian deli and bakery [...]
Portabella Mushroom Sandwich
For the last several months, if not longer, the grill has been cooking all sorts of items. Kebabs, Filipino BBQ, and all kinds of sausages, you name it. There comes a time though when you want to take a step back, lay off the meat, and do something a bit different. This past week was [...]
Stuffed Cannelloni
This past weekend just screamed comfort food. Not sure what it was; it could have been possible burnout from work, or the idea that I simply wanted to do something special for my wife, but it was a comforting weekend. As I often do, I take a look around my pantry, and refrigerator, looking for [...]
Indian Frybread Tacos
If you have been surfing my site for some time, you probably know that I love tacos. Love every kind of taco. Whether they be meatless, or with chicken, fish, steak, pork, or shrimp, I love them. I could eat them every single day if I could. My favorite tacos have always been on fresh [...]
Summertime Pasta Salad
It’s barbecue and grilling season, and this always means a good ‘ol get together with family, friends, or neighbors. I consider them all the same, which would be friends. When we have a get together, my default reaction is ‘what can I make’ or better yet, depending on the audience, ‘what should I make’? These [...]
Buffalo Chicken Dip
I love chicken wings, and I typically love them fried, baked, or grilled, and probably in that order. Links can be found (here, here, and here). I will also admit that I love hot wing sauce, and blue cheese. Something about the combination of a blue cheese and hot sauce really gets my flavor buds [...]
Tequila Shrimp Sopes
I have written about sopes in the past. When I was first introduced to sopes, I fell in love. Everything about the texture, the weight, and the simple ingredients. It screamed freshness to me. Granted the sope itself is fried, but the texture was something wonderful. Consider it a thick tortilla if you will, and [...]
Classic Wedge Salad
About every two weeks, I make burgers on the grill. It is one meal that most everyone loves in our family, that is, with the exception of my daughter, which I just learned last night. With that said, I really put some serious thought into how I wanted to design the burger for the evening. [...]
The Milwaukee Dog
I have been craving hot dogs for about a week now. I have mentioned this not only to my wife, but also my coworker, and it’s funny, as my coworker was saying he has been making them throughout the week and loading them up with vegetables, and wrapping them in tortillas. My schedule has been [...]
Cheese Crisp
Being from Wisconsin, I love cheese. My kids love cheese, and pretty much everyone I have ever met loves cheese. Sure, I have met possibly one, or three people who do not like cheese, and I am certain I questioned that in my head, but I quickly got past that thought, and realized that cheese [...]
Fried Cheese Curds
There is something to be said about living in Wisconsin. It is a beautiful state, especially this time of year, where the grass is green, a beautiful blue sky, and the beginning of festival season. Sure, I was born in Indiana, but I really consider myself a Wisconsinite. While growing up, cheese was in abundance, [...]
Mexican Refried Beans
Mexican refried beans. You either love them or hate them. I easily lean on the side on loving refried beans. I must admit that I probably was not a real fan of these until I moved to Dallas, Texas in my young adult life. It was apparent that in southwest, refried beans were a real [...]
Mini Chili Frittata
This past weekend was Mother’s Day, a special day around our house. The kids are always reminded to make homemade cards, and to get their school projects ready to deliver to mom on that special morning. We take a bit of pride in our planning, making sure mom feels special on that day. Everything from [...]
Surf and Turf Quesadilla
I could live off of quesadillas. This appetizer or entree is yet another item that has endless possibilities. The quesadilla is a true delight and one of those things that if you have corn or flour tortillas laying around, or if you want to make your own, you are pretty much good to go with [...]
Blue Cheese, Bacon, and Potato Casserole
I am a big fan of casseroles, especially the really easy ones. You know the type. Perform a bit of layering, a bit of sauce, and pop it in the oven for a while, and you have yourself a great casserole. So this past weekend, I smoked some baby back ribs, and finished them off [...]
Huevos Rancheros
Breakfast might be my favorite meal of the day. Unfortunately, I do not get to enjoy breakfast, for the most part, during the work week as my wife and are are too busy flying around the kitchen throwing waffles in the toaster and getting the kids ready. Trust me, it’s busy. That is why I [...]
Smoked Cheese Steak Sandwich
It was last week where I featured a somewhat exotic dish known as cioppino. It was a dish that I heard my parents get excited about while growing up, and one where I realized why they were excited. Cioppino is a dish full of great flavors, but when it comes to seafood, and my father-in-law, [...]
Cheese and Thyme Drop Biscuits
I have had Texas comfort food on my mind for some time now. A word or two triggered the thoughts some time ago, and the term ‘greasy spoon’ has since been on my mind. I moved a friend down to Texas back in 1996, I believe, and with a resume in hand, bumped into their [...]
Greek Lettuce Wraps
I was ready for something light and fresh. Our family recently got back from taking a cruise vacation in the eastern Caribbean. It was our first cruise, and I was a bit intimidated as I was bringing the children. Big boat, on water for seven days, with kids. You see where I am going with [...]
Homemade Red Enchilada Sauce
I was sitting around one early afternoon, doing what I normally do on a weekend, thinking about what to make for dinner. So I opened the refrigerator, and besides noticing all of the condiments on the side door, realized that I had some really great, and tender beef from the previous night’s grill out. I [...]
Lasagna Carbonara
On Saturday morning I was out running some errands. I called my wife, and asked the big question, “What do you feel like eating today?”. She immediately said “pasta”. Ok, I thought, pasta, but there are so many different ways to make pasta. I had to chuckle as when I popped that question, I thought [...]
Twice Baked Potatoes
I reflect a lot on the things that I ate while growing up, and there are plenty of great recipes that stand out. Some of the items that stand out were of the frozen nature. Things like soft pretzels, or twice baked potatoes. You remember the type of twice baked potatoes, the frozen kind, and [...]
Capellini with Asparagus and Arugula
My wife loves pasta salads, and I think she likes everything about them. And who does not love pasta salad? I mean, you can get as creative as you want when it comes to these sorts of dishes. Meat or no meat, different types of pasta, cheeses, and vegetables. So recently I wanted to …
