Pizza Al Pastor
Or I suppose you can call this one Al Pastor Pizza, however you decide, I will be fine with it. Did I ever tell you I am a sucker when it comes to tacos al pastor? I’m such a fan of the flavors of al pastor that they are my go to taco wherever I […]
Thai Style Roasted Pumpkin Seeds
It’s that time of year again where pumpkins have infiltrated my front porch. Don’t get me wrong, I actually get somewhat excited to pickup some pumpkins, and as much as I like taking the kids pumpkin picking, let’s face it, it’s not cheap. That is not to say I was not going to not going […]
Al Pastor Chicken Wings
If you have been following my blog for any time now you probably know that I love Mexican food. Who doesn’t right? You probably also know that I try and get out to eat at least once a week for work, and I typically go to my nearest Mexican restaurant, El Rey. When I have […]
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 […]
Chicken Tostadas
I frequent a local Mexican restaurant about once a week, and it is typically the same one every time. They know me so well, almost like Norm Peterson in Cheers, whereas as soon as I find a place to sit, I am delivered my usual horchata, and on occasion they simply bring me my usual […]
Lemon Bars
My daughter loves cooking with me, and let’s just say the feeling is mutual, as I really love cooking with her. She has this amazing energy and drive that when she proposes that we cook together, or bake in her case, I simply cannot refuse. One evening she came over by me, sat in my […]
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 […]
Thai Sticky Chicken Wings
Are you excited as I am this time of year? It’s football season, and granted I mostly only care about watching and routing for our Green Bay Packers, and that means one thing in our house, comfort food. Yes, football season equates to comfort food. Well, you know I can probably make excuses to make […]
Smoked BBQ Chicken Wings
My oldest kid has become a true fan of chicken wings. I’m OK with that, only because he has been a picky eater for the majority of his childhood, so when he wants something that has a bone in it of all things, I’m cool. Normally during a busy week we might order chicken wings […]
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, […]
Homemade Smoked Sausage
If there is one thing that one of my boys attaches quickly to in the kitchen is eating. Just kidding, well, not really. He has always attached himself to assisting me in making homemade sausages. Let me say that making homemade sausage is not only fun, but it can get a bit messy. Grinding the […]
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 […]
Merkts Cheeseburger
I don’t know what it is lately, but I have been loving smashed style burgers. In the past I was making burgers, typically on the grill, where they were big, plump, and obviously delicious, but now I have taken the burgers inside on a cast iron skillet, and allowing them to get nice and caramelized. […]
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 […]
Avocado Fries
Last week I wanted to surprise my wife with a little afternoon appetizer. I know what ya’ll are probably thinking with that first sentence, but don’t get me wrong, it was going to be a surprise that she has never had before, nor me for that matter. As many of you probably love avocados, we […]
Wisconsin Bratwurst Pizza
Wisconsin is known for a lot of great things. If you are not familiar with the state of Wisconsin, well, let me just say that it is beautiful. Great state parks, the great lakes, awesome summer festivals, the “Fonz”, Laverne and Shirley, cheese, beer, and let us not forget, brats. That’s right, brats. The infamous […]
Gyro Pizza
Let me start by saying nothing beats a good slice of pizza. A while ago I would have thought that a simple taco, or maybe even a cheese burger would trump a slice of pizza, but I think I am sticking with the pizza. You have probably noticed that I have been making a lot […]
BBQ Pizza
This past Memorial Day weekend was a blast. It was filled with family fun going to a baseball game, a day at the lake, and a birthday party. What could get better than that, right? With that said, I prepared plenty of food for the family to tailgate at the Brewers game, as well as […]
Ham and Cheese Waffles
About once a month I decide to make breakfast for dinner. I typically resort to this option because I have nothing planned, or I know that all of the kids will eat very well and probably lick their plates when finished. This past week was no exception. I walked in the door, had nothing planned […]
Mushroom, Onion, and Rosemary Pizza
You know me by now, and you know that I love pizza. I love it so much that I have created close to twenty different pizzas, and typically when I make a batch of pizza dough during the week, I try to make a different type of pizza. So this past week when I was […]
Muffuletta Pizza
You heard me right. Muffuletta pizza. When my wife and I went to New Orleans, years ago, we went to the famous Central Grocery, and got a muffuletta. It was everything I expected in a great Italian sandwich, and with that awesome giardiniera, it could not be beat. Well, it did get trumped on the […]

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! …
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 […]
