Thai Shallot Sauce
Many of us never think to serve grilled items with a dipping sauce. I know I never did until I experienced Thai food. It was then, and only then that I fell in love with how complex, yet so simple, the flavors became when dipping a bit of grilled beef into this Thai dipping sauce. It […]
Nam Tok – Thai Waterfall Grilled Beef Salad
As you probably noticed, my previous recipe was so basic and so simple that you probably were thinking, big deal it’s just toasted rice, but that Thai toasted rice goes along way when used in the right recipe. As I always use the toasted rice when making larb, I also use it in sauces as […]
Greek Chicken
Do you love Greek chicken as much as I do? I’ll admit that I do not nearly make this as often as I should and I have no idea why. Sure, the lamb gyro will always win when I go out for Greek-style fast food, but when at home, I love Greek chicken. As I […]
Lamb Burger
You already know I am a big fan of burgers. Whether they are concocted with beef, chicken, pork, or lamb, I will pretty much create something out of anything. I was recently spotlighted on Tasty Kitchen with my eggs benedict burger, but I’ve also been playing around with other burger ideas such as pad Thai […]
Chicken Satay
If you have never tried chicken satay, well let me just say you are going to love it. I came up with this only because my kids love Filipino barbecue, and well, I wanted them to explore and try different things. My goal actually was to get my oldest to try the satay sauce that […]
Curry and Coconut Corn on the Cob
Corn is in full bloom right now at the farmer’s market, and I don’t know about you, but I love corn. The white corn, or bi-colored corn is super tender, and oh so sweet right now that you almost want to just eat it right off of the cob. I’ve been buying about eight ears […]
Homemade Smoked Sausage
If there is one thing that one of my boys attaches quickly to in the kitchen is eating. Just kidding, well, not really. He has always attached himself to assisting me in making homemade sausages. Let me say that making homemade sausage is not only fun, but it can get a bit messy. Grinding the […]
Peanut Butter and Jelly Bacon Cheeseburger
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 […]
Grilled Shrimp with Cilantro Pesto
Are you like me when it comes to pesto? You love it right? I think pesto goes great with so many things, whether you are simply dipping vegetables into it, lathering it on a sandwich, or going with a classic and tossing it with pasta, pesto is really bright and delicious. I’ve made everything from […]
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. […]
Smashed Potatoes
This is probably the first weekend I was not able to make it to our local farmer’s market, and to be honest, I am a bit bummed. I love getting up early on Saturday and jumping on my bike and riding a few miles up to the market. It’s a small market at that, but […]
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 […]
Thai Grilled Chicken
Grilling season is finally back in Wisconsin. Those winter months were extremely long this year, and granted the weather is only in the 60′s in early June, well, we consider that summer, and with summer comes grilling season. I will be one to admit that I never put my grill away, and even in the […]
BBQ Pizza
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 […]
Char Siu Banh Mi
You might not be familiar with the title of this post and you are probably thinking ‘what the hell?’. Don’t worry, that’s why I am here. It basically translates to ‘awesome sandwich’, or better yet ]Chinese barbecue pork tucked into everything amazing with a Vietnamese sandwich. I wanted to make this sandwich for a couple […]
Thai Coleslaw
Thai coleslaw. It is something that you do not hear that often. I started thinking about this coleslaw when I had my mind on making Thai pla rad prik, a whole fried fish served with a great Thai sauce on top. When I had asked my wife if she wanted this great Thai sauce on […]
Homemade Chili Oil
I will admit a couple of things. I love going to ethnic grocery stores and spending time looking around at various noodles, sauces, and heck, pretty much anything, and I love eating at Asian restaurants where they have an array of sauces set out, much like how we might have salt and pepper laid out. […]
Cinco de Mayo Recipes
If you are looking for something to make to celebrate Cinco de Mayo, here are some wonderful, and easy recipes. Click for the recipe, or you can find my collection of Mexican recipes at http://www.simplecomfortfood.com/category/mexican/. ¡Viva, Cinco de Mayo! …
Thai Portabella Mushroom Sandwich
I recently came across Kettle Brand’s website to investigate a couple of new chip flavors they are coming out with this summer. As I was browsing their site, a competition they were having caught my attention. Basically, come up with a great recipe using our product. As I sat there and thought about it, I […]
Gyro Potato Skins
I love gyros. I really do. I love everything about them, even the smell that seems to live with your for about six hours after eating one. That punch of onion, the salt feta in a side salad, and the tzatziki sauce that is slathered over the awesome meat. It could be one of my […]
Jalapeno Butter
My son turned eleven today and it is actually his golden birthday. I cannot tell you how excited he has been, well, for about one week now. It was almost a countdown as if he were going on vacation to an exotic island! I has asked him what special meal he would want, if he […]
Peruvian Chicken
I work in an open office space with four of my colleagues. I consider ourselves to be a very tight team, and we know each other pretty well, meaning we share stories of growing up, and funny stories about our kids, among other things. Those other things often revolve around technology and food. As we […]
Peruvian Style Mayonnaise
It’s funny that while young, you tend to be safe when it comes to things that you like to eat. For example, growing up, I was never a fan of mayonnaise. I mean my parent’s refrigerator was like aisle four in a grocery store, you know the one, the aisle full of condiments? I probably […]
Cuban Burger
I have had my mind on a Cuban sandwich for some time now. Now if you have never had the opportunity to have a Cuban sandwich, or have been skeptical to try one, please do me one favor, and try one. There is something to be said about the sandwich, when prepared properly, that it […]
Vietnamese Grilled Pork with Noodles (Bún Thịt Nướng)
Walk into any Vietnamese restaurant and and you will most likely see someone eating Bún Thịt Nướng, I mean, a grilled pork dish served on top of noodles, and most likely served with a crispy egg roll. I first encountered this dish while living in Dallas. There was an intersection near I lived that had a […]
