Pretzel Bites with Beer Cheese Dip Recipe

If there is one thing that my children and I agree on for a late night snack, it has got to be the soft pretzel. This snack was something I grew up with and it is something enjoyable to reflect on those childhood memories when I would ask my parents if I could have a [...]

Sicilian Style Pizza

Posted by Dax Phillips on January 13th, 2012 filed in Cheese, Delicious, dough, Game Day, Kids, Pizza, Pork, Sauce

I remember, clearly, the last time my kids and I ate at Rocky Rococo’s Pizza. My wife was on a business trip and I was the solo parent trying to tackle the challenge of managing the three kids during a busy work week. I’m the dude who cooks the dinner, every night, for the for [...]

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 [...]

Caramelized Onion and Maple Bacon Pizza

Posted by Dax Phillips on November 25th, 2011 filed in Appetizers, Bacon, Cheese, dough, Game Day, Kids, Onions, Pizza, Sauce

I don’t know what I have been loving more lately. Could it be the smell and taste of caramelized onions, or the process of making homemade bacon? Whatever the answer is to that question remains a mystery in my house, but I can tell you that I simply love caramelized onions, and bacon. I did not [...]

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 [...]

Pecan Pie Ice Cream

Posted by Dax Phillips on July 18th, 2011 filed in Delicious, Dessert, dough, Holiday, Ice Cream, Kids

The Cuisinart Ice Cream Maker could have been one of the best purchases I have made in some time, especially during this time of year. Not only does this device not take up a whole lot of room, but it is also really simple to clean, and furthermore, with only a few simple ingredients, you [...]

Pizza: Garlic Cream Sauce

Posted by Dax Phillips on April 22nd, 2011 filed in Cheese, Delicious, dough, Game Day, Italian, Kids, Pizza, Sauce

It was about three months ago when I picked up my wife for a quick lunch. We often do not get out to lunch due to our busy schedules, and when we do, we are often (at least I am) checking our phone and directing incoming email traffic. Regardless, lunches are special for my wife [...]

It was not too long ago when my wife and I decided to get out to lunch and escape our busy work schedules. I will admit, it is not that often when we both get a chance to get out on the same time to get a bite to eat, especially one that does not [...]

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 [...]

Homemade Polish Pierogi

Posted by Dax Phillips on September 15th, 2009 filed in Appetizers, Cheese, Delicious, dough, Ethnic, Kids, Sides, Snack

You have seen them in your grocery store. They often catch you attention. Stuffed morsels. They are in the frozen section. The pierogi. Frozen dumplings stuffed, probably, with crappy potatoes, from the frozen section that is. I mean, who freezes mashed potatoes? Dumplings. What more needs to be said? There is something about a dumpling, [...]

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. [...]

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 [...]

Beignets

Posted by Dax Phillips on July 13th, 2009 filed in Breakfast, Delicious, Dessert, dough, Kids, Snack

Upon a not so recent visit to New Orleans, both my wife and I really, truly enjoyed the food. Everything from the shrimp po’ boy, red beans and rice, to the ever so famous, beignets. Our visit was short and sweet, however we came back home craving the food. As many of you are already [...]

Quick and Easy Doughnuts

Posted by Dax Phillips on June 23rd, 2009 filed in Breakfast, Delicious, Dessert, dough, Kids, Snack

First off, I apologize for the lack of posts this past week. My family was on vacation, and as we rented out a great condominium, equipped with kitchen, and outdoor grill, I was still on vacation, cooking for five kids under the age of nine. Most of the cooking involved noodles, rice, and not too [...]

Chicken and Dumplings

Posted by Dax Phillips on May 28th, 2009 filed in Chicken, Delicious, dough, Soup, Vegetables

It’s funny you know, when you think that you are done with soup for the season, but you know what, it comes back to get you. Soup has a purpose, and its primary purpose is to provide warmth and comfort, any time of the year. I mention this as a couple of my coworkers recently [...]

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 [...]

It’s that time of the year where you begin thinking of corn beef and cabbage, nice Irish stews, and the standard beers. I know what I have been thinking of, and my little helper was asking me to make bread. My four year old daughter and I decided to make an Irish Soda Bread. A [...]

Italian Bread

Posted by Dax Phillips on January 29th, 2009 filed in Bread, dough, Sandwiches

You have to give it to bakers. They simply do great things, and you have to give them credit because making breads takes patience and time. I should stress time. Time is something that I do not have much of, however when I do on a weekend day, I think of making bread, or pizza [...]

For over one year now, yes folks, for over 12 months, I have been itching to get a pasta roller. I had my eye on getting the attachment for the KitchenAid but decided against it because I could not come to grips to spending over $150.00 for the darn thing. Last year my in-laws were [...]

Easy Shortbread Christmas Cookies

Posted by Dax Phillips on December 13th, 2008 filed in Cookies, Delicious, dough

You can see it in their eyes, the question. ‘When are you going to make Christmas cookies?’. You can only stand it so long until you break down and decide which of the 12 or so different kinds you will make this season. Now I will admit I am no cookie expert, but what I [...]
