Italian Beef Sandwich
I was in a real sandwich mode this past week. The holiday break allowed me to think a bit slower on what I wanted to consume. These are good times, because it means I can slow cook practically anything, and trust me, I did. I started off the week slow roasting beef that I encrusted [...]
Meatball Subs
Believe it or not, but every morning I make it to the gym and workout for about 45 minutes. Running, walking, biking, and some light weight work is included in the daily routine. I walk out feeling great, and every time I walk out, I notice the Subway sign outside, stating what the sandwich special [...]
Chipotle and Honey Glazed Bacon
This bacon could be sold in a candy store as it is just that good! As you know I have been tinkering with bacon for some time now, and for the most part, the experiments have been really amazing, but what bacon isn’t amazing? During the extended holiday break, I was able to experiment a [...]
Excellent Greek Burger
I only know a few people who do not like olives, but I am not one of them. I love them. I love them stuffed, put in drinks, and placed in all kinds of foods. I think one of my favorite olives is the kalamata. Every time I pass by them in the market, I [...]
Homemade French Fries with Lemon Zest and Parsley
It must be everyone’s all-time favorite. French fries. I do not know if you are like me, but I grew up on fries, probably due to the Sunday night meals at McDonald’s. The salty, crispy goodness that keeps you coming back for more. There are so many varieties, and so many options when it comes [...]
Souvlaki
While growing up in Milwaukee, there was not a whole lot of Greek food to be found. Sure, we had the common diner joints in the neighborhood (Omega) where you could get a roasted chicken, gyro, or a Greek salad, but beyond that you had to drive to the East side of town to get [...]
Mexican Torta with Carnitas
I could have made some of the best carnitas this past weekend. Normally I stick with my standard recipe for making a slow roasted pork shoulder, however this time around I really wanted something different. I had some dried chili de arbol peppers that I wanted to use, and I thought how great they would [...]
Homemade Flour Tortillas
Who doesn’t love the tortilla. To get it out on the table, I am a fan of the corn tortilla. Large or small, flour or corn, the tortilla is a beautiful thing. If you have followed me for some time, you would know how often I use tortillas. Just do a simple search for “tortilla” [...]
The BLT Sandwich – Bacon Lettuce and Tomato
Lately I have been craving a bacon, lettuce, and tomato sandwich. I think probably that is due because of the freshly picked tomatoes that have stared at me every day, asking me ‘What are you going to do with me?’. Growing up, the BLT was always around. Typically, plain old white bread, toasted, served with [...]
Asian Pulled Pork Sandwich
You probably hear me say “Asian Style” something or another quiet a bit on this site. There is a reason for that, primarily being that “Asian Style” has some really great flavors. Typically garlic, ginger, chilies, honey, sesame oil, and other items like lime, lemongrass, and other ingredients. When you throw these ingredients together, in [...]
Pita Bread Recipe
I don’t know if you are like me on this issue, but I am often disappointed when I buy halfway decent pita bread from the store, only to have it go bad in a couple of days. Not only that, but the texture and the thickness of the bread is not what I was expecting. [...]
Kofta – Lebanese Meatloaf
We have had a lot of relatives in town lately and it seems to have gone non-stop in terms of get togethers, typically surround by food and wine. Don’t get me wrong, I love these times as they include great stories, laughter, and result in exhaustion. You know you had a great day when those [...]
Kokomo Bakes
A few days back I was reflecting on some of the food that I grew up eating, not so much in my house, but around town. I thought my dad always had a good taste for a few things around town, in particular the tacos from Indiana Beach, the tacos from Lord John, the stromboli [...]
Grilled Blackened Chicken Sandwich with Blue Cheese
I had a real craving for something with a bit of bite a few days back. I was not looking for anything too spicy, but I did have a craving for something with a different heat. I decided I wanted a seasoned piece of meat that would be packed with a ton of flavor. I [...]
Gingered Beef Sandwich with Caramelized Onions
I had a real craving for beef the other day, so my son and I traveled to our local grocery store and browsed the beef aisle. We talked about what he wanted, and he responded with ‘plain’ and ‘on the grill’. You have to love those types of responses from a seven year old. Plain [...]
Steak Fries
Who doesn’t love a great french fry? I know for a fact that my family loves them, and I serve them, typically store bought, to my kids at least twice a week. Lately however, I have been making my own french fries, and I must admit that they are a lot better than the store [...]
Roasted Garlic Aioli
Tired of the same old sauce being used on your burgers and fries? Tired of boring salad dressing? You are? Well, let me welcome you to the wonderful world of aioli, pronounced as ‘ahy-oh-lee’. If you have never had aioli, well now is your chance. It is a like a very light mayonnaise with a [...]
Shrimp Po’ Boy
Before I begin, I have a simple question. What is your favorite Po Boy and where from? This year I was able to attend a conference in New Orleans, Louisiana. It was my first time going to NOLA, and as most of the stories I have ever heard in the past really evolved around Bourbon [...]
Homemade Gyros on the Grill
You know those days where you cannot get a particular food item off of your mind? I was having days upon days of the thought of a gyro. Unfortunately I live in a part of town that truly does not have a good gyro sandwich, and the closest one to me would be near Milwaukee’s [...]
Pizza Burger
Do you have any good memories of those childhood cafeteria days? You remember those cafeteria style pizza burgers you had as a kid? Well, these are not those. These are the adult version of those pizza burgers, but stuffed, perfectly seared, and topped with some really nice ingredients. Now sure, I have tinkered with stuffed [...]
Barbecue Pork
Let me know your thoughts on this recipe. I love meat on a stick, I truly do. I think it is one of those foods that when you have it, that you love the experience of eating meat off of the stick, or one that you want to go back for more. Well, this is [...]
Egg Salad Sandwich
Before we begin. I want to hear your comments on how you like your egg salad sandwich. I have heard numerous stories, of lots of mayonnaise, lots of onion, pepper, hot sauce, etc. What is it that make your egg salad sandwich the best? Mine? Find out below. It seems since before Easter, and up [...]
Grilled Pork Tenderloin Sandwich
A few years back my mom handed down this recipe to me, thinking that we would like it. It is a pork tenderloin, typically grilled, cooked to perfection, then sliced, topped with a couple of other things, then placed in the oven to finish off. As pork tenderloins were recently on sale, I decided to [...]
Recipe for Carne Asada
Carne who? Carne asada. Don’t let the name prevent you from making this really easy dish. Car-neh A-sah-dah. There, that easy. First question to ask yourself, however is, tacos, burritos, or chimichangas? That should be what is for lunch or dinner with the carne asada. Carne asada, in my opinion, is a delicious cut of [...]
The Mexican Torta Sandwich
I have to admit, I love the torta. It could possibly be up there as one of my favorite sandwiches, and if you have never had one, either make mine, or go buy one. My other favorite sandwich is the Banh Mi, due it the awesome flavors, but that is another day. The torta however [...]
The Perfect Picnic Sandwich
This beautiful Spring day led me to want to go on a nature hike. I have to admit, I love taking my kids on nature hikes. Fresh air, new growth, and simply hanging out with my kids is something wonderful. So with a hike in mind, I was thinking of what to pack to eat. [...]
Pakistan Style Chicken Pita
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 [...]
Reuben Sandwich
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. [...]
Italian Bread
You have to give it to bakers. They simply do great things, and you have to give them credit because making breads takes patience and time. I should stress time. Time is something that I do not have much of, however when I do on a weekend day, I think of making bread, or pizza [...]
Lettuce Wraps
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 [...]
Roast Beef with Au Jus
Roast beef sandwiches have got to be my favorite, and they are pretty much the go to sandwich when ordering out. My wife on the other hand is a turkey sandwich, and the kids are torn between ham or turkey. Well, yesterday I had a hankering for some roast beef, and thoughts of french onion [...]
Turkey Club Sandwich with Chipotle Mayonnaise
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 [...]
Happy Thanksgiving
Pulled Beef with Peperoncini Peppers
I will start by giving my hats off to my Aunt Beth for this recipe. A few years back while visiting relatives in Indiana, my aunt had a slow cooker going with beef and peperoncini peppers. At first thought, I thought ‘peperoncini peppers?’, but after trying this, and packing it high on a bun, I [...]
Baba Ghanouj
If there is one thing I miss about Dallas, Texas, it is a restaurant called Ali Baba’s. This place was quaint and the food was killer. I typically ordered the chicken which had this amazing garlic paste, as well as hummus or baba ghanouj. From time to time, my thoughts take me back to that [...]
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 [...]
Stuffed Burgers
We all know what season it is, it is grilling season; the time to hang outdoors with family and friends, for a few months at least (Milwaukee, WI) before we go back into hibernation mode. Grilling season is something that is truly enjoyed by many, and as some in my network grill all year around, [...]
Rostisserie-Styled Beef
Spring is in the air! When Spring is in the air, that means a few things; yard work, more yard work, and getting the grill ready. My parents were kind enough to purchase a rotisserie attachment for my grill as a Christmas present. Trust me, I have been eager to use this attachment since …
Italian Bread
This might sound nerdy to some, but I have been making loaves of italian bread throughout the week, nearly three per week. My father-n-law asked why I did not just buy the bread, as I joked about how my kids are already eating me out of the house, and my response was that there is [...]
The Corned Beef Sandwich
You know those times when you constantly cannot get something out of your mind, especially when it comes to food? I am having one of those times, and you guessed it, the corned beef sandwich is taking over. I typically make corned beef twice a year, in the Spring for St. Patrick’s Day, and once [...]
My Take on Banh Mi
While living in Dallas, Texas, I would often frequent the markets on the weekends. Typically the Mexican supermercados as they were in abundance, however, I would also visit quite a few Asian markets. The reason being is that all of their ingredients were much more fresh, and cheaper than the traditional grocery store. During …
Drunken Beef
As you might recall, it was not too long ago that I made a prime rib. This six pounder fed my entire family, made two batches of french onion soup that served 10, and allowed me to make this next recipe. Now, members of my family have talked about this one for some time so [...]
