Tabouleh

Tabouleh Salad

If you haven’t noticed, I have been on a path of middle eastern cooking. Why, you might ask? Basically because the recipes are packed with great flavors with very few ingredients. If you do not believe me then check out the pita bread, baba ghanouj, and hummus recipes. Adding to this path, I am bringing [...]

Taco Dip

Taco Dip

This weekend I was in charge of bringing an appetizer to a pool party. I thought about chicken wings, stuffed mushrooms, spring rolls, and a few other items, however I decided to chose something I rarely make, and something that I wanted to put my twist on for people. I chose taco dip. Now you [...]

Larb - Thai Salad

Larb is a Thai dish that typically is made with one of the following meats; beef, chicken, pork, fish, and typically uses fish sauce, and chili peppers. I have been making this one for a few years now, and trust me, it is killer. I made this as a simple snack while my sister-n-law was [...]

Sisig – Reinvented

Posted by Dax Phillips on July 12th, 2008 filed in Appetizers, Ethnic, Meat, Pork, Salad, Sides, Snack
Sisig

What a crazy sounding name for a dish; sisig. As many of you might not be aware, but my father-n-law is Filipino, and a great guy to boot. Rarely do I get to sample authentic Filipino food with him, however this past vacation to California allowed me to do just that.  As my sister-n-law, Cindy, [...]

Chicken Salad Sandwich

Chicken Salad Sandwich

My wife loves a chicken salad sandwich. It might be one of her top five favorite sandwiches. Personally, I think they are just ok, and as I have attempted to try chicken salad sandwiches at a few restaurants in my life, I found that what I did not like about them was their texture, or [...]

Corn and Mango Salsa

Corn and Mango Salsa

I have written about my salsas in the past (here and here), and they typically have a nice kick to them as they contain habanero peppers. This past week I wanted to do something different, in particular for my wife. She loves the sweet as I love the spice. I wanted to give her something [...]

Green Salad with Vinegrette

In our recent travels to California, we met (for the second time) Michelle. Michelle is a native Cameroonian, who is, by the way French, as well. I had many conversations with Michelle during our few days in Oceanside, and I found her to be very interesting, in particular in the ways she cooked. What I [...]

Chicken Caesar Salad with Homemade Croutons

Posted by Dax Phillips on June 22nd, 2008 filed in Bread, Chicken, Meat, Pasta, Salad
Chicken Caesar Salad

I inherited this recipe from my sister-n-law a couple of years ago and it is a salad that I come back to during the course of the year. It is a chicken caesar salad with a twist, because it contains bow tie noodles. The noodles add a nice texture to the salad that keeps …

Vietnamese Summer Salad

Vietnamese Summer Salad

I have been to a few Vietnamese restaurants in my time, and there is a dish that they have, I know it as B14 from the menu (as one of my colleagues ordered this dish a couple of years ago) that is really delicious. I took a stab at making, what I call the Vietnamese [...]

Filipino Pancit Bihon with Chicken and Shrimp

Another simple dish that is easy to make is Pancit Bihon. This is another recipe my wife shared with me, and I have tweaked to make it my own. Pancit is very thin rice noodles. You can make them with meat and vegetables. My recipe includes the following: 1 bag of Pancit Bihon Olive or [...]

Spicy Papaya Salad

Thai Papaya Salad

After spending a lovely day with my wife, I decided to invite my in-laws over for a Mother’s Day dinner. Seeing that my father-in-law is Filipino, I decided to make his yummy barbecue recipe, my egg rolls, a thai papaya salad that will rock your socks off, pancit with chicken and shrimp, and curry mussels.
