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 [...]

Cantonese Pork Ribs

Posted by Dax Phillips on March 16th, 2009 filed in Appetizers, Chinese, Delicious, Ethnic, Meat, Pork, Rice, Sauce

I will admit that my wife’s cousins make some really great Asian inspired pork ribs. As I scanned my refrigerator and freezer for ideas, I immediately saw a slab of pork ribs. I don’t know about you, but when I see something like a rack of ribs, chicken breasts, or event a head of broccoli, [...]

Reuben Sandwich

Posted by Dax Phillips on March 14th, 2009 filed in Beef, Bread, Delicious, Ethnic, Holiday, Meat, Sandwiches, Sauce

I love this time a year, when St. Patrick’s day is nearing. This is the time of year where I typically buy a couple of corned beef’s as they are typically on sale. It is also the time of year where I make a batch of corned beef hash, and get my Reuben sandwich on. [...]

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 [...]

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 [...]

Asian Style Beef Jerky

Posted by Dax Phillips on February 25th, 2009 filed in Beef, Delicious, Meat

Who doesn’t love beef jerky? I mean come on, this is one delicious snack. However, it is often difficult to find really good jerky. I grew up on jerky for the most part. My dad used to use a dehydrator on it, then he got into smoking it, using, well of course, his smoker. I [...]

Spaghetti and Meatballs

Spaghetti with homemade italian sauce and homemade meatballs

Before I begin, I am really curious if you are already making homemade sauce and meatballs, how are you doing yours? Please feel free to comment below. There are a couple of dishes my wife makes, and one of them is spaghetti and meatballs. Don’t get me wrong, but if you know me, when I [...]

Crab Boil

Posted by Dax Phillips on February 14th, 2009 filed in Delicious, Fish, Meat, Vegetables

There about two times out of the year when I buy crab, and one of those times is today, on Valentine’s Day. I normally make my mom’s recipe where she places it on a broiler pan, water in the bottom, and covered with foil, cooking, and allowing it to steam. Today was not that day. [...]

Sweet and Spicy Dipping Sauce

Posted by Dax Phillips on January 31st, 2009 filed in Meat

I recently demonstrated how to make fresh spring rolls at Marquette University Law School for their Health and Wellness Fair. This was my first public food demonstration, and as I think it went well, I was a bit nervous. I made roughly forty spring rolls that morning, and they were all consumed within about ten [...]

Game Day Nachos

Posted by Dax Phillips on January 26th, 2009 filed in Appetizers, Beef, Cheese, Delicious, Meat, Pork, Snack, Vegetables

There is something to be said about nachos. To me, they are like a pizza, an omelet, a salad. What I mean is that you can make them as simple as you want, or as complex as you want. Ingredients can be somewhat endless, so you have some creative freedom on them as well. In [...]

Filipino Lumpia Shanghai

Posted by Dax Phillips on January 19th, 2009 filed in Appetizers, Delicious, Ethnic, Filipino, Meat, Pork, Sauce, Vegetables

When my wife and I starting seriously dating years ago, I would go back home and spend time with my family during the holidays. During my visits, I would spend time with her family as well. I recall them frying up lumpia, or at least this is what I referred to them as eggrolls, during [...]

Little Buns

Posted by Dax Phillips on January 14th, 2009 filed in Appetizers, Beef, Delicious, dough, Meat, Snack, Vegetables

My mom has been wanting me to make these little buns for some time now, and I always glance at this recipe when paging through the family recipe album. I thought I would give them a try. Little buns are this nice little morsels, packed with some interesting ingredients, wrapped in crescent rolls, frozen, then [...]

Thai Beef

Posted by Dax Phillips on January 11th, 2009 filed in Beef, Delicious, Ethnic, Meat, Thai

I make this dish about once month because it is super simple to make, and has some really excellent flavors that keep you coming back time and time again. The great thing is that you can eat this alone as a snack and serve with a sweet and hot dipping sauce, or use it …

Lettuce Wraps

Posted by Dax Phillips on January 5th, 2009 filed in Delicious, Meat, Pasta, Salad, Sandwiches, Snack, Vegetables

We are all most likely attempting to start off the year the right way, and one of those ways is to eat more healthy. I have asked many people in the last week, and the common theme is to eat more healthier foods, eat in moderation, or somewhere in between. With that said, I am [...]

Mushroom Risotto

Posted by Dax Phillips on January 4th, 2009 filed in Delicious, Ethnic, Meat, Pasta, Rice, Sides

My wife is a huge fan of risotto, and it is something that I do not make very often. In the most recent weeks, I came across a thought of making a risotto. I planned on making this dish accompanied by a beef tenderloin while relatives were in town, however due to other arrangements, we [...]

Corned Beef Hash

Posted by Dax Phillips on December 24th, 2008 filed in Beef, Breakfast, Delicious, Meat, Sides, Snack

I admit it. I love corned beef, in particular, corned beef sandwiches. I was recently thinking of recipes that my parents used to make while growing up, and as I investigated my freezers for ideas, the one recipe that came to mind was my dad’s corned beef hash. My dad is kind of, well, he [...]

Cuban Style Roasted Pork

Posted by Dax Phillips on December 11th, 2008 filed in Delicious, Ethnic, Meat, Pork, Sauce

I will start with a couple of words; LOW and SLOW. Two words that really do something fabulous to food, in particular delicious chunks of meat. As winter is here, my smoking of meat has subdued a bit, and now I am somewhat trapped indoors. Yes, this means no outdoor grilling for a while, and [...]

Dim Sum – Shaomai (Shoe My)

Posted by Dax Phillips on December 7th, 2008 filed in Appetizers, Breakfast, Chinese, Delicious, Ethnic, Meat, Pork, Sauce, Sides, Snack

I miss dim sum. Carts of food being catered to you, with a moving roundtable full of food and sauces. An experience that everyone must enjoy throughout ones life. I encountered dim sum while living in Dallas, Texas. It became a weekly religion and went down on Sunday mornings. A table full of friends and [...]

Turkey Club Sandwich with Chipotle Mayonnaise

Posted by Dax Phillips on November 30th, 2008 filed in Bacon, Bread, Delicious, Meat, Sandwiches, Thanksgiving

My turkey is finally gone, and I have to be honest with all of you, I am kind of glad. I’m “turkied out”. Before I close the chapter on this Thanksgiving holiday, I want to end it with a pretty awesome throw together; the turkey club with a kick. It is not often I order [...]

Turkey Pot Pie

Posted by Dax Phillips on November 30th, 2008 filed in Delicious, dough, Holiday, Meat, Thanksgiving, Vegetables

If there is something you might want to know about my wife, it is that she loves chicken pot pie. As the thanksgiving holiday slowly passes by, I thought I would do my thing to the turkey pot pie to keep her happy, and comfortable. The pie itself is really quiet simple to make, but [...]

Thanksgiving Day Dressing

Posted by Dax Phillips on November 27th, 2008 filed in Delicious, Holiday, Meat, Sides, Thanksgiving, Vegetables

I typically stuff my turkey each year, but something came across me this year, and I took a different route, and instead, made a dressing. I adapted my wife’s grandmother’s recipe, and made it my own using homemade turkey broth, my own bread, and a handful of other goodies. As I brined my turkey this [...]
