Lao Tomato Salsa – Jeaw Mak Len

Posted by Dax Phillips on July 29th, 2013 filed in Meat
Jeaw Mak Len Recipe

My family is a pretty big fan of Thai style sticky rice. Personally, I could probably eat it every day, just a little bit, for dinner. If you have never experienced sticky rice, let’s just say that it is unlike any rice that you have probably ever had. It is not a fork or spoon […]

Steakhouse Mushrooms

Steakhouse Mushrooms Recipe

Last week we had my in-laws over for a nice Fourth of July feast. It’s been awhile since they have been over for a nice meal, and it was our treat to enjoy a long, lazy, afternoon together. It was also that time of year that every grill on the street was probably getting preheated, […]

Smoked BBQ Ribs

Smoked BBQ Ribs Recipe

Barbecue season has started. Well, who am I kidding, does it ever end? With that said, I often look for opportunities to involve my kids in the cooking experience. Now granted, I’m pretty much the dude who refuses help in the kitchen, often times asked by my wife, and rarely if any from my kids, […]

How to make Mediterranean Egg Rolls Recipe

We are huge fans of egg rolls in my household. Everything from your classic Filipino egg roll, to hot dog egg rolls, Chinese style shrimp egg rolls, heck even Thanksgiving Day egg rolls, Reuben egg rolls and to top them off Mexican egg rolls.  You can see, we love egg rolls. There was one idea I […]

Herb and Garlic Crusted New York Strip Roast

Garlic and Herb Crusted New York Strip Roast Recipe

I went all out this past Christmas and decided to make a pretty great menu consisting of a shrimp done two ways, some popovers, roasted vegetables, and the star of the show, a New York Strip roast. As my in-laws were requesting that I make another porchetta this year, I decided a couple of weeks […]

Well, another year is soon to pass, and what another great year it has been. Our kids are quickly growing, and pretty much eating us out of the house. That is no lie. It’s also been a another great year of posting recipes for all of you. I’ve reached over 730 recipe posts since I’ve […]

Cuban Burger

How to make a 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 […]

Homemade Lasagna

How to make homemade Lasagna recipe

I recently found myself eating lasagna for dinner, and breakfast, and lunch the following the day. I thought I was going nuts because, well, I am in love with lasagna. To me, it just screams comfort food. An all-in-one dish that has layers of noodles, cheese, sauce, and meat? Come on, you know you are […]

Turkey Jerky

How to make turkey jerky recipe

I often find it funny that someone you don’t know wants to give you food. What I mean by that is I have a friend in the family whose brother loves to hunt and fish. With that said he often times asks his brother if Dax would like some pheasant, or in this other case […]

Compound Butter

Compound Butter Recipe

Butter, something most everyone loves (or tries to avoid). I remember growing up and loving the simple things of bread and butter. I see one of my kids doing that now. He is content with simple bread and butter, heck, I have even seen him try to get away with making a butter sandwich for […]

The Hash Brown Cheeseburger

Posted by Dax Phillips on June 19th, 2012 filed in Beef, Burgers, Cheese, Delicious, Game Day, Grilling, Kids, Meat, Onions
Hashbrown Cheese Burger Recipe

I’m a guy who likes a good burger, especially this time of year. Summertime is just that time of year when the coals get heated for the grill on a regular basis, and if I were to ask my kids what they wanted for dinner (yes, I ask them), I would always get a response […]

Patty Melt

Posted by Dax Phillips on May 1st, 2012 filed in Bacon, Beef, Bread, Burgers, Cheese, Delicious, Game Day, Grilling, Kids, Meat, Onions, Sandwiches
Patty Melt Recipe

This could hands down be the best cheeseburger you might ever have. Hands down. See the patty melt, at least in my opinion, is not your standard cheeseburger. It’s an old school cheeseburger. It’s the cheeseburger that goes back to the roots of the burger when it was served on sliced bread, and not a […]

Dagwood Sandwich

Posted by Dax Phillips on March 6th, 2012 filed in Cheese, Delicious, Game Day, Kids, Meat, Sandwiches
Dagwood Sandwich Recipe

I am a fan of a really good sandwich. To me a sandwich is something you can be highly imaginable with, or one that you can get as basic with. Think of your standard peanut butter sandwich. Two pieces of white bread with a layer of peanut butter in between. That alone, as basic as it is, […]

Middle Eastern Zhoug

Posted by Dax Phillips on February 20th, 2012 filed in Appetizers, Ethnic, Game Day, Grilling, Meat, Sandwiches, Sauce, Sides
Middle Eastern Zhoug Recipe

Middle Eastern food has been on my mind for some time now. Thoughts of kebabs, Lebanese garlic sauce with roasted chicken, ajvar with anything, and kofta with fresh pita bread. You can see, I was up for making pretty much anything, but instead I wanted to make something for my wife, something she has never […]

Beef Massaman Curry

Beef Massaman Curry Recipe

Approximately once a month, if not more, my wife and I get a real craving for a curry and coconut mixture, typically with a bit of chicken, peas, and other vegetables that is served over rice. It is a dish, especially this time of year, that is extremely comforting.  Some of my favorite Thai curry […]

Thai Peppered Beef

Thai Peppered Beef Recipe

I know I should probably be posting Christmas and holiday recipes right now, but I am not. Instead, I am posting about beef, and Thai beef to be more clear. I have no idea why I came up with this recipe, but I am pretty certain that I wanted something a bit salty, and something […]

Kimchi Burger

Kimchi Burger Recipe

If you have never heard of kimchi, well, now you have. Kimchi is probably found in most grocery stores nowadays, and it is a must have. Now if you have never had kimchi, you might be a little hesitant to try it based on what it looks like, or maybe even how it smells, but […]

Cevapi – Southeast European Kebab

Cevapi Recipe

I had a craving for something different lately. I think it could have been the idea of a flatbread, or maybe it was hummus, or something to eat with ajvar that I had recently made. I know we all get this way at times, and we need to fill that craving pretty immediately. Fortunately, I […]

Craisin and Cheddar Bratwurst

Posted by Dax Phillips on August 17th, 2011 filed in Charcuterie, Game Day, Grilling, Meat, Pork, Wisconsin
Homemade Brats with Cheddar and Craisins

Wisconsin is known for their bratwurts, or as we know them, brats. Summertime is a time where everyone gets excited about brats, especially while tailgating at a Milwaukee Brewers baseball game. Most everyone that I know cooks Johnsonville, Usingers, or Klement’s throughout the summer, but what most people do not know is that making your […]

Homemade Bacon

Homemade Bacon Recipe

Yep, I said it. Homemade bacon. When I said those words to my oldest child it was as if it was the best day ever. It has been a long time coming, but I finally went through and have made some of the best bacon I think I have ever had. I am honest when […]

Wisconsin Booyah

Wisconsin Booyah Recipe

You probably will not believe this when I tell you, but I had to put on a winter hat, gloves, and jacket today to watch my boys place baseball in Wisconsin. It’s May 14, folks. Mid-May and I, and the majority of other Wisconsinites, are wearing winter clothing. But I use that as an opportunity […]

Jamaican Meat Pie Recipe

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 […]

Filipino Sisig

Filipino Sisig Recipe

I am going to be up front with you and let you know that I am not the type to use pre-made seasoning packets. I am usually the type who often uses the pinch method when using seasonings, eyeballing teaspoons and tablespoons, as after all, that is some of the fun in cooking. But… I […]

Tri-Tip with Cilantro Chimichurri Sauce

Posted by Dax Phillips on February 27th, 2011 filed in Appetizers, Beef, Game Day, Grilling, Meat, Sandwiches, Sauce, Smoker
Tri-Tip Steak with Cilantro Chimichurri sauce

I was first introduced to the tri-tip steak while visiting my parents in Las Vegas years ago. As my parents were talking about this piece of meat, you could see the excitement in their eyes and their mouths beginning to water. Tri-tip is something that we do not see in grocery stores in the Midwest, […]

Mexican Chili

Mexican Chili Recipe

Not too long ago we had the family over for a preseason football party. Our team, the Green Bay Packers, was playing that night, and everyone was really excited to see them win the game. I personally do not know if I was more excited for the game, or for what I was about to […]
