Khao Poon
I’m certain I have said this before, but not only am I a huge fan of Thai food, but a few dishes in particular. Khao poon is being one of them. I will always say do not get intimidated by the ingredients, or any techniques for that matter, because once you are stocked up on […]
Cinco de Mayo Recipes
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! …
Tom Kha Gai – Thai Chicken Soup
If you have known me, or followed my recipes, you realize that I’m a big fan of most ethnic food, including that of Thai cuisine. With that said, don’t get startled by words such as Kha, or Gai. Gai is chicken in the Thai language, as Tom represents a boiling process or soup. So when […]
Chicken Tortilla Soup
I find it funny when I try to engage my family members as to what their thoughts are for lunch, or dinner ideas, and the common responses that I get every time I pose the question. I’m not sure if I have said this before, but if I ask my oldest child, I immediately get […]
Khao Soi – Thai Curry Soup
When I first experienced a Thai curry soup, I was literally blown away with all of the flavors. Curries, whether they be yellow, red, or green Thai curries are just so comforting, most likely due to some of the coconut milk that enriches the broth and balances out some of the spice of the curry. […]
Manhattan Clam Chowder
You ever have those moments where you are craving something? I’m sure you have, we all get cravings, and I had cravings for clams for some time now. I have no idea why, most likely from the cold weather we have been having in Wisconsin, but clams of all things, really? I think I have […]
Chicken, Andouille, and Shrimp Gumbo
It was years ago when my wife and I last visited New Orleans. It was one of the best trips we probably had together. As the trip was a short one, both my wife and I attempted to consume as much of New Orleans as we could. If you have never been to New Orleans, […]
Arroz Caldo
Arroz caldo. Now that’s a funky name isn’t it? If you know any Spanish, then you would know this as rice soup. As I asked my wife, “did you guys grow up eating arroz caldo?”, she seemed confused and never heard of it. I said “C’mon, you’re Filipino and never heard of arroz caldo, you […]
Aji Sauce
I’m a big fan when it comes to sauces. As a matter of fact my wife said to me the other day that we need another refrigerator for all of our sauces. I’m game for that. She’s right though. I do have a lot of sauces. I have a whole side door full of Asian […]
Chorizo and Bean Soup
Beans. You either love them or hate them. There are those folks that are torn in the middle, but those are far and few. I have always loved beans, whether they were the classic baked beans, or the authentic refried beans. Red, brown, black, green, or white. It does not matter the color, in my […]
Beef Massaman Curry
Approximately once a month, if not more, my wife and I get a real craving for a curry and coconut mixture, typically with a bit of chicken, peas, and other vegetables that is served over rice. It is a dish, especially this time of year, that is extremely comforting. Some of my favorite Thai curry […]
Pozole Rojo
It’s soup season, and to boot, it’s comfort food season, at least in Wisconsin. See, it is pretty darn cold here right now, and when we come inside the house after hours of sledding outdoors, or even just getting home from work, we want, or better yet, we need something to warm our bodies. This […]
Caldo de Pollo (Mexican Chicken Soup)
As many of you are probably already aware, I love Mexican food. Heck, I like most all ethnic food that I have ever tried, but Mexican cuisine, and well, Thai, really stand out for me. There is something to be said of its simplicity while at the same time having a very complex flavor. Take […]
Wonton Soup
A couple of years ago while traveling the east coast, one of our cousins was nice enough to ask my son if he wanted to travel to New York City with him to tour Yankee Stadium. It was a no brainer for my kid, who at the time was only seven years old. I don’t […]
Cincinnati Chili
Chili season has begun. What this means is that the cool air has moved into our area, football season has started, and well, my wife simply loves chili. Some folks know it as the classic chili con carne, and everyone has their recipe for chili, and that is why they have chili cooking competitions, right? I first started making chili shortly […]
Wisconsin Booyah
You probably will not believe this when I tell you, but I had to put on a winter hat, gloves, and jacket today to watch my boys place baseball in Wisconsin. It’s May 14, folks. Mid-May and I, and the majority of other Wisconsinites, are wearing winter clothing. But I use that as an opportunity […]
Laksa
I will be the first to admit that one of my pet peeves is smacking lips while eating, that, and probably aggressive slurping of soups. But there are dishes that you simply have to allow and enjoy the experience of just that; lip smacking and slurping. Laksa is no exception. After watching some television, I […]
Chili Verde
We love chili in our house, and I am not kidding when I say we make it at least once a month, eating it over the course of several days. Chili is just one of those comfort foods where it just warms you up on cold days and nights, and trust me, it is extremely […]
Mexican Chili
Not too long ago we had the family over for a preseason football party. Our team, the Green Bay Packers, was playing that night, and everyone was really excited to see them win the game. I personally do not know if I was more excited for the game, or for what I was about to […]
Carrot Soup
Not too long ago one of my colleagues and I were having our standard morning conversation about food and what we have been cooking lately. During the conversation, he got pretty darn excited about a carrot soup he had just recently made. I mean, he kept going on and on about how great it was, […]
Steak and Potato Soup
Upon a recent visit to one of our local Sendiks market, I came across a really great deal on lobster tails. I am not one to normally buy lobster due to the price, but these were some fairly large lobster tails for only ten dollars. I could not pass them up, so I bought two […]
Albondigas Soup – Mexican Meatball Soup
Soup season has started once again in my household. It is early fall, and the falling of leaves from the trees typically indicates that it is time to hunker down with a nice bowl of comforting soup. It was this past weekend where I was going to make chili for my wife. She loves chili, […]
Loaded Baked Potato Soup
Who doesn’t love a bowl of hearty soup? My Aunt Beth turned me on to this soup years ago, and I find myself making it about once a year, and always around this time of year. Let’s face it, it’s cold in Wisconsin, and when you finally get inside of the house, you need something […]
Roasted Tomato Soup
This past week, I was given a task to pickup a can of Campbell’s chicken noodle soup for my son. The goal was to bring the soup into school and have the fourth grade students attempt to try different soups. I have to admit, I am not one to buy soup out of can anymore, […]
Tom Yum Goong
Tom Yum Goong, or Tom Yam Goong simply translates to Hot and Sour Shrimp Soup. Thai food, what could be better than the perfect balance between sweet, spicy, sour, and salty? Not much if you ask me. There is something to be said about Thai food in general, as in my opinion, it really accomplishes […]
