Tostada

Posted by Dax Phillips on May 1st, 2009 filed in Appetizers, Beef, Cheese, Chicken, Delicious, Ethnic, Kids, Meat, Pork, Sides, Snack, Vegetables

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, [...]

Stuffed Jalapenos

Posted by Dax Phillips on April 16th, 2009 filed in Appetizers, Cheese, Chicken, Delicious, Sides, Snack, Vegetables

I love jalapeno peppers. Fresh or pickled. These are typically found in my vegetable bowl on any given day of the week. I put them in a lot of different things such as soup, omelets, or stir-frys. As I do often, I shopped at the local Latino market, El Rey, gathering limes, avocado, chicken pieces, [...]

The Mexican Torta Sandwich

Posted by Dax Phillips on March 26th, 2009 filed in Bread, Chicken, Delicious, Ethnic, Meat, Sandwiches, Vegetables

I have to admit, I love the torta. It could possibly be up there as one of my favorite sandwiches, and if you have never had one, either make mine, or go buy one. My other favorite sandwich is the Banh Mi, due it the awesome flavors, but that is another day. The torta however [...]

Pakistan Style Chicken Pita

Posted by Dax Phillips on March 18th, 2009 filed in Chicken, Delicious, Ethnic, Meat, Sandwiches, Sauce, Sides

Pakistan Chicken Pita with Cumin and Onion Yogurt Sauce

Let me begin by saying this sandwich is packed with some really great spice, balanced out by a yogurt blend that will blow your mind. Chicken marinated overnight, pulsed and formed into patties, grilled, packed in a warm pita, and stuffed with cucumbers and cilantro? If you want flavors, this sandwich is right up your [...]

Enchiladas Verdes

Posted by Dax Phillips on March 10th, 2009 filed in Cheese, Chicken, Delicious, Ethnic, Meat, Salad, Sauce

My wife and I love enchiladas. We consider it somewhat like the Mexican lasagna. Instead of noodles you have fresh corn tortillas, however you still have the cheese, the sauce, and the meat filling. My standard enchilada, or enchilada rojo (I will call it that because of the red sauce) is really good, and is [...]

Tinola – Filipino Chicken Soup

Posted by Dax Phillips on March 8th, 2009 filed in Chicken, Delicious, Ethnic, Filipino, Meat, Rice, Sides, Snack, Soup

I was introduced to Tinola years ago while visiting with my in-laws. From what I learned at the time, tinola was typically made when ‘Uncle Tony’ came over to visit my father-n-law. Tinola was Uncle Tony’s favorite dish, and after tasting it, I could not have agreed more with Uncle Tony. This soup brought my [...]

Salsa Verde

Posted by Dax Phillips on March 3rd, 2009 filed in Appetizers, Breakfast, Chicken, Delicious, Ethnic, Sauce, Snack

Over the past few months I have been tinkering with salsas and hot sauces. Overall, I am very happy with the results. I am using both as condiments throughout my day, in particular for a quick chip and dip, or a splash of hot sauce on an omelet. This past weekend, while visiting El Rey [...]

Gai Pad Krapow (Thai Chicken and Basil Stir Fry)

Posted by Dax Phillips on March 1st, 2009 filed in Chicken, Delicious, Ethnic, Meat, Rice, Sides, Snack, Thai

A recent Food Network show, Extreme Cuisine with Jeff Corwin, traveled to Thailand. The show was great, and was a winner in my mind, because I simply could not get the flavors of Thailand out of my mind. The chilies, basil, fish sauce, and curries were all I could think about. I reflected on my [...]

Chicken Tortilla Soup

Posted by Dax Phillips on February 28th, 2009 filed in Chicken, Delicious, Ethnic, Meat, Snack, Soup

This recipe was one of my first posts back in the Fall of 2007. This recipe is one where it truly hits the heart of my wife, and those who eat it. The result is nothing but extraordinary, and really orgasmic in terms of comments and results; something truly comforting. Chicken tortilla soup. Everything is [...]

Spicy Garlic Chicken

Posted by Dax Phillips on January 7th, 2009 filed in Chicken, Chinese, Delicious, Ethnic, Thai, Vegetables

This garlic chicken recipe is really simple to make, and after you try it, you might think to yourself, why is it garlic chicken, when it only calls for a a tablespoon of chopped garlic? Now as you think of that, you will also be thinking of how wonderful the texture and flavors are in [...]

Chicken Adobo

Posted by Dax Phillips on November 8th, 2008 filed in Chicken, Delicious, Ethnic, Filipino, Meat, Soup, Stews

Chicken what? That’s right chicken adobo. A Filipino comfort food that I am now just beginning to explore. I have heard my wife tell me stories of her childhood, and what was served on the table, and one of the dishes that most everyone loved, was chicken adobo. Slow cooked chicken in a delicious vinegar [...]

Chicken Fingers

Posted by Dax Phillips on November 1st, 2008 filed in Appetizers, Chicken, Delicious, Meat, Snack

While growing up, this was my all-time favorite recipe. This was the recipe that I requested when Mom would ask “What would you like me to make you for your birthday?”. This was the one. It is one of those chicken dishes that is just truly comfort, and one that you cannot stop eating. As [...]

Baba Ghanouj

Posted by Dax Phillips on September 25th, 2008 filed in Appetizers, Bread, Chicken, Delicious, Ethnic, Sandwiches, Sides, Snack, Vegetables

If there is one thing I miss about Dallas, Texas, it is a restaurant called Ali Baba’s. This place was quaint and the food was killer. I typically ordered the chicken which had this amazing garlic paste, as well as hummus or baba ghanouj. From time to time, my thoughts take me back to that [...]

Chicken Raspberry Chipotle Pizza

Posted by Dax Phillips on September 19th, 2008 filed in Appetizers, Chicken, Delicious, Meat, Pizza, Sauce

Based on the title of this post, it is a mouthful. Chicken raspberry chipotle pizza. Not only is it a mouthful to say, but this one is going to have you coming back for more. The true sweetness of the raspberry preserves, along with barbecue sauce and chicken, is a true delight. This recipe was [...]

Blue Cheese Dressing

Posted by Dax Phillips on August 24th, 2008 filed in Appetizers, Beef, Chicken, Delicious, Meat, Sides, Snack

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 [...]

Thai Green Curry

Posted by Dax Phillips on August 20th, 2008 filed in Chicken, Delicious, Ethnic, Meat, Rice, Thai

First off, for my readers/subscribers, feel free to comment on what you make here. I am completely open to what is good, what could be better, and truly, if my dish was terrible. I did not go to culinary school, however I did grow up around my parents, who explored cooking styles, and did a [...]

Larb – Thai Pork Salad

Posted by Dax Phillips on July 26th, 2008 filed in Appetizers, Chicken, Ethnic, Fish, Meat, Pork, Salad, Sides, Snack

Larb is a Thai dish that typically is made with one of the following meats; beef, chicken, pork, fish, and typically uses fish sauce, and chili peppers. I have been making this one for a few years now, and trust me, it is killer. I made this as a simple snack while my sister-n-law was [...]

Chicken Salad Sandwich

Posted by Dax Phillips on July 9th, 2008 filed in Chicken, Salad, Sandwiches

My wife loves a chicken salad sandwich. It might be one of her top five favorite sandwiches. Personally, I think they are just ok, and as I have attempted to try chicken salad sandwiches at a few restaurants in my life, I found that what I did not like about them was their texture, or [...]

Chicken Caesar Salad with Homemade Croutons

Posted by Dax Phillips on June 22nd, 2008 filed in Bread, Chicken, Meat, Pasta, Salad

I inherited this recipe from my sister-n-law a couple of years ago and it is a salad that I come back to during the course of the year. It is a chicken caesar salad with a twist, because it contains bow tie noodles. The noodles add a nice texture to the salad that keeps …

Chinese Lemon Chicken

Posted by Dax Phillips on June 10th, 2008 filed in Chicken, Chinese, Ethnic, Meat, Sauce

There is one thing that we typically order from a Chinese restaurant, and that is either fried rice, or some version of lemon chicken, or orange beef. This past weekend, I asked my wife, what would you like to have for dinner tonight (I wanted something on the grill as it is summertime) and she [...]

Jerk Chicken

Posted by Dax Phillips on May 30th, 2008 filed in Chicken, Ethnic, Grilling, Meat

Last week I had a craving for something really spicy, and not inspired by asian cuisine. My brain flipped through all the recipes in my head, when suddenly, jerk chicken appeared. The spicy scotch bonnet peppers, cinnamon, thyme, and garlic were only some of the spices that make this dish truly sing. Letting the chicken [...]

Chicken Cordon Bleu

Posted by Dax Phillips on April 5th, 2008 filed in Chicken, Meat

From time to time I bring out a recipe that is not commonly thought of, and this past week was one of those times. The dish this past week was chicken cordon bleu; chicken stuffed with ham and swiss cheese, truly delicious. The recipe itself is really easy to make, a bit messy, but easy [...]

Sopes

Posted by Dax Phillips on March 26th, 2008 filed in Appetizers, Beef, Chicken, Ethnic, Meat, Pork, Snack

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. [...]

Tamales

Posted by Dax Phillips on March 16th, 2008 filed in Appetizers, Beef, Chicken, Ethnic, Meat, Pork, Sides, Snack

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 [...]

Chicken Wing – Round 2

Posted by Dax Phillips on March 8th, 2008 filed in Appetizers, Chicken, Meat, Snack

Chicken Wings with garlic and oyster sauce

As you might have noted, I love chicken wings. This recipe is my default when it comes to wings, as I love the slow cooking process, then throwing them on the grill to crisp them up. This one is good all year round. Ingredients: Chicken Wings Oyster Sauce Garlic, about 1 bulb, chopped 2 tbs [...]

Chicken Wings Round One

Posted by Dax Phillips on February 26th, 2008 filed in Appetizers, Chicken, Meat, Snack

My memory does not serve me well as I thought I had posted my chicken wing recipe, however, I think that I posted the recipe in my cookbook. With that said, I should note that my cookbook rocks and will soon be available to purchase online. Ingredients: Wings, cleaned and clipped Seasonings to your [...]

Barbecue (BBQ) Sauce

Posted by Dax Phillips on February 7th, 2008 filed in Beef, Bread, Chicken, Meat, Sauce, Snack

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

Posted by Dax Phillips on February 4th, 2008 filed in Beef, Chicken, Ethnic, Meat

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 [...]

Fried Chicken – Round 2

Posted by Dax Phillips on January 11th, 2008 filed in Chicken, Meat

There are some many different recipes to fry chicken, and a handful of ways to go about it, however I typically stick with the two I know, and they are both delicious. I have written about my fried chicken once before, however this post is going to focus on the second batch, which in …

Another simple dish that is easy to make is Pancit Bihon. This is another recipe my wife shared with me, and I have tweaked to make it my own. Pancit is very thin rice noodles. You can make them with meat and vegetables. My recipe includes the following: 1 bag of Pancit Bihon Olive or [...]
