Taco Cups

Posted by Dax Phillips on May 3rd, 2012 filed in Appetizers, Baking, Cheese, Chicken, Delicious, Game Day, Kids, Mexican, tacos

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 [...]

Roasted Indian Chicken

Posted by Dax Phillips on March 12th, 2012 filed in Breakfast, Chicken, Ethnic, Onions, Vegetables

Roasting a chicken is something we pretty much do once a week in my family. There are a variety of reasons why I do this, particularly because it is really easy, and more so that it feeds and pleases everyone at the table, and more importantly, it is just comforting. But there are plenty of [...]

Korean Fried Chicken

Posted by Dax Phillips on March 3rd, 2012 filed in Appetizers, Chicken, Ethnic, Game Day, Kids, Sauce

Whenever I fry food, I typically try to stay true to some of the basic batter ingredients. Whether that is a standard dredge when making a Wisconsin beer battered fish fry, or even frying chicken for a Sunday dinner. There are, however, plenty of times when I experiment with creating a really crunchy exterior while [...]

Paella

Posted by Dax Phillips on February 11th, 2012 filed in Chicken, Delicious, Ethnic, Game Day, Grilling, Holiday, Onions, Rice, Seafood

It was not long ago when I purchased my first paella pan. It was one of those purchases I was truly excited about. See, I had a plan, as usual, with that pan. When it arrived at the house, my wife had said something like ‘what the heck is that?’, and my response with my [...]

Slow Cooker Chicken Paprikash

Posted by Dax Phillips on February 2nd, 2012 filed in Chicken, Ethnic, Kids, Onions, Sauce, Stews

Chicken paprikash is one of those dishes that is nothing but comforting. Don’t let the word paprikash intimidate you by any means. It basically translates to paprika, so when you are done slow cooking this dish, you end up with Hungarian paprika chicken. I have been wanting to make this dish for quiet some time [...]

Ham and Cheese Arepas

Posted by Dax Phillips on December 29th, 2011 filed in Appetizers, Cheese, Chicken, Delicious, dough, Game Day, Pork, Sandwiches, Snack, tacos

If you have never heard of an arepa before, well, let me introduce you to this wonderful new thing. An arepa is probably one of the simplest things to make, and it is basically masa, water, a bit of salt, and a bit of oil, and once mixed, and formed into a biscuit like shape, it [...]

Larb Gai

Posted by Dax Phillips on December 10th, 2011 filed in Appetizers, Chicken, Delicious, Ethnic, Kids, Salad, Thai

If you have never experienced larb in any of your favorite Thai restaurants, you must. Larb is typically seen in an appetizer section, or possibly a salad section of a menu. Larb can be done using pork, beef, or chicken, and when you make with any of these meats, you will understand the simple, yet [...]

Caldo de Pollo (Mexican Chicken Soup)

Posted by Dax Phillips on December 6th, 2011 filed in Chicken, Delicious, Ethnic, Kids, Rice, Soup, Vegetables

As many of you are probably already aware, I love Mexican food. Heck, I like most all ethnic food that I have ever tried, but Mexican cuisine, and well, Thai, really stand out for me. There is something to be said of its simplicity while at the same time having a very complex flavor. Take [...]

Vietnamese Meatballs

Posted by Dax Phillips on November 7th, 2011 filed in Appetizers, Chicken, Ethnic, Game Day, Sauce, Snack

I do not know what came over me on this recipe, but I think I was thinking of the Thai fish balls I made some time ago. If you have never tried that recipe, I encourage you. Simple, and nothing but delicious and packed with flavor, I wanted to make something different for my wife [...]

Thai Chicken Pizza

Posted by Dax Phillips on July 29th, 2011 filed in Appetizers, Chicken, Delicious, dough, Game Day, Kids, Pizza, Thai, Vegetables

Baseball season has ended for my kids, and that brings some disappointed not only to my kids, but also to me. Sure, I loved watching my boys get a hit or make a good play, but I also enjoyed the company around me. If there was one topic that was always being discussed, it was [...]

Panuchos

Posted by Dax Phillips on July 26th, 2011 filed in Appetizers, Chicken, Delicious, Ethnic, Game Day, Mexican, Snack

It was not too long ago when one of my readers had commented on my Indian fry bread recipe informing me that it reminded her of Salbutes. That alone intrigued me to find out more information about what the heck a salbute was. After some quick research, I learned that a salbute is a lightly fried [...]

Chicken Biryani

Posted by Dax Phillips on March 5th, 2011 filed in Casserole, Chicken, Delicious, Ethnic, Game Day, Holiday, Rice, Sides

The flavors of Indian food, in my opinion are so addicting. I use the term Indian very loosely in this recipe as many countries have their own version of what is called biryani. Biryani in its basic state is simply a dish containing meat, fish, or vegetables and rice that is flavored with some really [...]

Chicken and Waffles

Posted by Dax Phillips on March 3rd, 2011 filed in Chicken, Delicious, Game Day, Kids

If you do not know by now, there is one dish that I simply loved while growing up, and to this day, and that is fried chicken, mashed potatoes, and corn. I’ve stated it several times of the last few years on this site, and I am fine with that. My tombstone might say something [...]

Chicken Cacciatore

Posted by Dax Phillips on February 15th, 2011 filed in Chicken, Italian, Sauce, Vegetables

It has been awhile since I cooked a nice Italian meal for my wife. After all, she is the one who really turned me on to Italian cooking. She was the spaghetti and red sauce kind of gal before we got married. It was her go to meal, if you will. I am referring to [...]

Chicken Tenders Recipe

Posted by Dax Phillips on February 3rd, 2011 filed in Appetizers, Chicken, Delicious, Game Day, Kids

I have no problem repeating the fact that my favorite childhood meal, and to this day, is fried chicken, mashed potatoes, and corn. To me, that meal just screams comfort food. I make it for my kids about once every two weeks. I do not do the fried chicken all that often, but I do [...]

Greek Fried Chicken

Posted by Dax Phillips on October 31st, 2010 filed in Chicken, Ethnic, Kids

If you have been following my posts for some time now, you probably know that fried chicken is my all-time favorite childhood food. Well, it might be one of my favorite comfort foods as well. I have my go to fried chicken recipe but I wanted to jazz it up a bit, and incorporate some [...]

Grilled Chicken Pesto Sandwich

Posted by Dax Phillips on September 21st, 2010 filed in Chicken, Game Day, Grilling, Pasta, Sauce

As much as I am bummed out that summer is coming to an end, I am also very excited that fall is right around the corner. I live in Wisconsin, and yes, there are reasons for that. In particular, the seasons. Now sure, when you think of Wisconsin, you might think of Laverne and Shirley, [...]

Stuffed Cannelloni

Posted by Dax Phillips on August 3rd, 2010 filed in Cheese, Chicken, Delicious, Game Day, Italian, Pasta, Sauce

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 [...]

Layered Asian Dip

Posted by Dax Phillips on July 24th, 2010 filed in Appetizers, Chicken, Delicious, Game Day, Salad, Vegetables

Lately I have been putting a lot of thought into what people bring to parties. A recent get together yielded all sorts of party dips, and I am always impressed at what people bring. A couple of items that stood out was a spinach and artichoke dip, and the classic taco dip. As we all [...]

Thai Chicken Bites

Posted by Dax Phillips on July 18th, 2010 filed in Appetizers, Chicken, Delicious, Ethnic, Game Day, Rice, Thai

There is a new breading in town, and it is not the go to panko or the standard fine Italian breadcrumbs. It’s my take on what should be known as Thai breadcrumbs. While my wife was recently away on a business trip, I came home wandering what to make for dinner. I have to be [...]

Buffalo Chicken Dip

Posted by Dax Phillips on July 9th, 2010 filed in Appetizers, Cheese, Chicken, Delicious, Game Day, Snack

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 [...]

Chicken Tikka Masala

Posted by Dax Phillips on July 3rd, 2010 filed in Casserole, Chicken, Delicious, Ethnic, Game Day, Sauce

My wife and I were recently talking about how we were craving an Indian curry dish known as chicken tikka masala. If you have never smelled, nor tasted this dish, you are truly missing out on something wonderful. My quick take on chicken tikka masala is that it is a dish consisting of tender cubes [...]

Quick Chicken Mole Nachos

Chicken Mole Nachos - a quick Mexican Mole sauce

I often frequent a local Mexican grocery story and eatery in Milwaukee, known as El Rey Supermercado. I am really hooked at this place, and think that they have some of the best tacos in town. Granted, I tend not to think what happens beyond the scenes in many of these restaurants, and I realize [...]

Lebanese Garlic Sauce

Posted by Dax Phillips on June 3rd, 2010 filed in Chicken, Delicious, Game Day, Rice, Sauce

One of my first eating experiences in Dallas, Texas was at a very small restaurant named Ali Baba’s. It was a very small establishment, and I have written about it a couple of times on my site (here and here). This place probably sat twenty people, with a small bar in the front, and a [...]

Greek Lettuce Wraps

Posted by Dax Phillips on April 22nd, 2010 filed in Appetizers, Cheese, Chicken, Delicious, Ethnic, Game Day, Grilling, Pasta, Salad, Snack, Vegetables

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 [...]
