Middle Eastern Egg Rolls
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
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 [...]
Top 10 Recipes of 2012
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
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
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
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
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
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
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
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
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
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
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
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
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
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
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
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
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
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
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
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 [...]
Wisconsin Hot Ham and Rolls
I will admit that there are things about cooking that excite me. One of those things, and yes you can call me a food nerd if you want, is going to the deli counter, and watching the folks slice meat to my desired thickness. It was not too long ago however, when I thought how [...]
Brazilian Sandwich – Bauru
I am a big fan of a great sandwich, and I think we are always in search of a great one. I think I just found, what could possibly be one of my top five, a super sandwich. My wife and I love sandwiches, and we typically order a sandwich on a Saturday. They are [...]
Homemade Steak Sauce
Growing up my friends would often joke around when they opened my parent’s refrigerator because it was jam packed with condiments. No kidding. There were four different ketchup, nine different kinds of mustard, and an array of so many other sauces. It was their idea of having fun when vacationing out of town and frequenting [...]
