Khao Poon

Posted by Dax Phillips on December 4th, 2013 filed in Asian, Ethnic, Fish, Soup, Vegetables
Khao Poon Recipe

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 […]

Creamed Pearl Onions

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, […]

Butternut Squash Gnocchi

Butternut Squash Gnocchi

It’s nearing winter time here in the great state of Wisconsin, and I still have a handful of butternut squash that I pulled from the garden weeks ago. Now don’t get me wrong here, but I am not the biggest fan of butternut squash. I really only grew it to make a couple of dishes […]

Greek Nachos

Greek Nachos

I just love it when it comes to Sunday afternoons. Those are the days where, as a family, we wind down, watch football, eat some comforting food, and get ready for the week ahead. It seems as though Sundays are often the times I am also the most creative in the kitchen. It could be […]

Greek Salad Grilled Cheese Sandwich

Greek Grilled Cheese Sandwich

This summer we planted tomatoes, cucumbers, peppers, beans, squash, and lettuces, along with herbs and strawberries. It was actually a very good year and we had an abundance of vegetables. As I looked at my counter top this past week, it was loaded with cucumbers and tomatoes, and I knew I had to do something […]

Hong Kong Fried Noodles

Hong Kong Fried Noodles

If you have never had Hong Kong fried noodles before, well then, good. I only say that because you are going to love this recipe. The Hong Kong fried noodles are essentially a crispy fried noodle that when coated with an awesome stir fry and gravy, they get slightly softened and are perfectly balanced with […]

Patatas Bravas Recipe

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 […]

Stuffed Butternut Squash with Boerewors

Stuffed Squash with Boerewors

I love this time of year. The fall weather slowly approaches, the color of the leaves on the tree are beginning to turn color, and well, it’s comfort food season. That’s probably what I really love about this time of year! Back when our farmer’s market opened for the year, I was browsing some vegetable […]

Kohlrabi and Cucumber Salad

Kohlrabi Salad Recipe

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 […]

Curry and Coconut Corn on the Cob

Curry and Coconut Corn on the Cob Recipe

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 […]

Kale and Sausage Pizza

Kale and Sausage Pizza

I was never a big fan with eating kale until a couple of years ago. I know, I know, but it was not one of those common household ingredients when growing up, nor was it something I was anxious to buy at the store. That all changed though when I started making kale chips. I […]

Carrot Top Pesto

Carrot Top Pesto Recipe

As many of us know, the farmer’s market is almost in full swing. I only say almost because I’ve yet to see corn, and those delicious tomatoes yet. Don’t get me wrong, I’m not saddened that the market has yet to offer these up, I’m actually just pleased that I can visit the market on […]

Smoked Mushrooms

Posted by Dax Phillips on July 20th, 2013 filed in Appetizers, Delicious, Game Day, Sides, Smoker, Snack, Vegetables
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 […]

Potato and Ham Frittata

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 […]

Smashed Potatoes

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 […]

Mexican Picadillo

Mexican Picadillo

It was not too long ago when I started to think of a vacation we took years ago to South Carolina. It was a great family trip, and even cousins from the west coast decided to join us as well. Let me just say we had a great time, especially at dinner time when everyone […]

Mushroom, Onion, and Rosemary Pizza

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 […]

Thai Coleslaw

Thai Coleslaw Recipe

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 […]

Italian Beef Lasagna with Giardiniera

Italian Beef Lasagna Recipe

My daughter recently had her first communion, and I cannot tell you how excited she was about it. My wife and daughter planned for weeks for the event, and that left me with planning the food and drink for the post communion party. I thought of many things to make, but then decided I would […]

Thai Mushroom Sandwich Recipe

I recently came across Kettle Brand’s website to investigate a couple of new chip flavors they are coming out with this summer. As I was browsing their site, a competition they were having caught my attention. Basically, come up with a great recipe using our product. As I sat there and thought about it, I […]

Al Pastor Potato Skins

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, […]

Caramelized Mushroom and Onion Melt Sandwich

Caramelized Mushroom and Onion Melt Sandwich Recipe

I know there is all this hype around ‘Grilled Cheese Sandwich Month’ going on right now, and I love that people get excited about that. Don’t get me wrong, I am in favor of awesome grilled cheese sandwiches, and I believe melts are right up there with the grilled cheese, heck, they should be in […]

How to Grow Microgreens

How to plant Microgreens

Some time ago, I was really intrigued with some food photography that I would often see that included tiny bunches of microgreens. Now if you are not aware of microgreens, they are essentially the first few leaves that sprout from a herb, or vegetable that you seed and grow. I was not only intrigued by […]

Fennel and Leek Pizza

Leek and Fennel Pizza Recipe

Fennel is one of those herbs that I often pass by at the store on a regular basis. I will stop to look at the bulb and the fronds, and often think what in the world could I incorporate fennel into a recipe. So this past week, I picked on up, and decided that I […]

Roasted Cherry Tomatoes

Roasted Tomatoes Recipe

This past week, I had asked my wife if she had any dinner ideas, or if there was anything she wanted to eat. She immediately fired back with homemade pizza with garlic cream sauce and mushrooms. Now I am personally a big fan of any pizza with garlic cream sauce, especially if it has caramelized mushrooms on […]
