Creamed Pearl Onions
I will be the first to admit that I am thankful that Thanksgiving is over. To be honest, I am tired of eating. As much as I love cooking, and eating for that matter, I’m officially stuffed. This past week was packed full of fun, however. Lots of great family time loaded with great conversations, […]
Cajun Style Mac and Cheese
I don’t remember growing up if I was that big of a fan of mac and cheese. I think we ate more mashed potatoes more than anything when it came to side dishes, but that is not to say that I do not love mac and cheese. Mac and cheese could very well be one […]
Pizza Egg Rolls
I’ve had this idea of making Totino’s style pizza rolls for some time now. I’m not sure why, as I don’t recall the last time I purchased a bag of them, but I do recall liking them when I did pop 5 or 10 of them in my mouth. You know, when you popped one […]
Patatas Bravas
It was a bit of a gloomy weekend in Milwaukee, and I was pretty much down for that. To be honest, I actually like a rainy weekend as it lends itself to slowing down, being lazy, and well, cooking comforting food. As I was looking through my freezer on Saturday, I realized I had a […]
Pad Thai Sliders
I am a big fan of Thai food. It could be hands one of my favorite cuisines, and possibly my wife’s as well. I’m always making things such as larb and sticky rice for the kids, things on a stick such as chicken satay, as well as experimenting with things like Thai toast and Thai […]
Kohlrabi and Cucumber Salad
I’m a fan of kohlrabi. I was first introduced to kohlrabi about two years ago when I approached this funky looking thing at the farmer’s market. After I asked a handful of questions, I decided to buy some and take it home only to create some sliced kohlrabi with a thyme infused oil. That in […]
Loaded Chicken Satay French Fries
You may or may not already be aware of this, but I’m a sucker when it comes to using up leftover food. I hate to see things to to waste, especially good food that I put time and effort into making on a regular basis. That was the case with my most recent chicken satay. […]
Curry and Coconut Corn on the Cob
Corn is in full bloom right now at the farmer’s market, and I don’t know about you, but I love corn. The white corn, or bi-colored corn is super tender, and oh so sweet right now that you almost want to just eat it right off of the cob. I’ve been buying about eight ears […]
Olive and Blue Cheese Pizza
You all know how much I love making pizza. Everything from the dough, the sauce, and the fun part for me is the toppings. One of my latest creations was the Wisconsin bratwurst pizza, and as I normally think that while eating a slice that it might be my most favorite slice of pizza ever, […]
Grilled Shrimp with Cilantro Pesto
Are you like me when it comes to pesto? You love it right? I think pesto goes great with so many things, whether you are simply dipping vegetables into it, lathering it on a sandwich, or going with a classic and tossing it with pasta, pesto is really bright and delicious. I’ve made everything from […]
Smoked Mushrooms
After a long morning doing yard work, I decided to call it an afternoon and get some relaxation. With that said, I had a rack of baby back ribs marinating overnight, and decided I would have an afternoon of smoking the ribs. Whenever I begin the smoking process, I always look for other items to […]
Pizza Tots
Last week I was thinking of things to make that would be easy and delicious. As you probably know, I have been on a pizza making rampage recently, and as I thought of creating a couple of more pizza recipes, I decided that I would take what I love in a pizza, and substitute the […]
Potato and Ham Frittata
A couple of weeks ago I did what I normally do every Saturday morning, and that is to wake up early, jump on my bike, and head to the farmer’s market. I get the best of both things, riding my bike before most folks are awake, and talking to the farmers at the market. This […]
Bacon and Jalapeno Mac and Cheese
I’m crazy about a good mac and cheese, and as I have been making a variety for the past handful of years, I think we all decided that this bacon and jalapeno mac and cheese might just be the winner. Not too long ago I was teaching my boys how to smoke ribs, and as […]
Smashed Potatoes
This is probably the first weekend I was not able to make it to our local farmer’s market, and to be honest, I am a bit bummed. I love getting up early on Saturday and jumping on my bike and riding a few miles up to the market. It’s a small market at that, but […]
Avocado Deviled Eggs
I love my wife, like big time. Recently I have been investigating her eating habits during the week. She’s extremely disciplined when it comes to lunch and snacks during the work week. Me on the other hand, well, I typically rock out an egg with a Thai chili, then I make a mixed berry smoothie […]
Spicy Garlic Noodles
The other day I had this vision of slurping noodles. I have no idea why. I was probably hungry, and as my oldest has been devouring ramen noodles lately, noodle slurping was just on my mind. This was around ten in the morning mind you. So when I got home I looked around and noticed […]
Thai Coleslaw
Thai coleslaw. It is something that you do not hear that often. I started thinking about this coleslaw when I had my mind on making Thai pla rad prik, a whole fried fish served with a great Thai sauce on top. When I had asked my wife if she wanted this great Thai sauce on […]
Jalapeño Popper Pizza
Saying Jalapeño Popper Pizza three times almost becomes a tongue twister! OK, so I went there. Yes, I turned the jalapeño popper into a pizza because I was craving some jalapeño poppers but really did not want to core out a handful of jalapeno peppers, stuff them, coat them, and fry them. Sure, I have made jalapeño poppers before, along with some jalapeño popper […]

If you are looking for something to make to celebrate Cinco de Mayo, here are some wonderful, and easy recipes. Click for the recipe, or you can find my collection of Mexican recipes at http://www.simplecomfortfood.com/category/mexican/. ¡Viva, Cinco de Mayo! …
Loaded Pizza Mac and Cheese
I have been on a pizza kick for the past month. Our Friday night fish fry has turned into a call out your own pizza night, and I give credit to extremely easy pizza dough. I’ve said it before, but I love pizza, and everything about it. You can either toss a thin crust, medium […]
Al Pastor Potato Skins
When many people mention they had tacos, or are having tacos, the immediate thought is that they are having tacos, most likely with flour tortillas, or store bought hard shells, loaded with crummy ground beef and a taco seasoning packet. Don’t get me wrong, I’m not saying there is anything bad with that, but, yes, […]
Gyro Potato Skins
I love gyros. I really do. I love everything about them, even the smell that seems to live with your for about six hours after eating one. That punch of onion, the salt feta in a side salad, and the tzatziki sauce that is slathered over the awesome meat. It could be one of my […]
Grape and Feta Pizza
You have probably noticed that I have been on a pizza kick. It could be very well that this new book I purchased has seduced me into rocking out pizza on a regular basis, or it could be that I just love pizza. I think it is both. When the question does arise however, and […]
Buffalo Chicken Macaroni and Cheese Pizza
The title says it all. I was recently came off a weekend of making a handful of pretty awesome pizzas. My guess is that I am hooked on Jim Lahey’s ‘My Bread’ book, and after trying his pizza dough recipe, I was hooked. As his recipe is similar to mine, I was liking his as it was […]
