French Onion Soup

Posted by daxphillips on January 6th, 2008 filed in Holiday, Meat, Soup, Vegetables

As you might recall, I recently made a garlic crusted prime rib for a holiday meal. The meal yielded a lot of leftover meat, and because of that, I made a french onion soup that was not only simple to make, but one that was full of rich beef flavor. Let’s just say that my [...]

Twice Baked Potatoes

Posted by daxphillips on December 18th, 2007 filed in Sides, Snack, Vegetables

You have to love the potato. You can shred them, mash them, fry them, mash them and bake them, and so much more. My family loves the mashed potato, and heck, I simply love most, if not all types of potatoes. In particular, I love the baked potato, especially with a steak dinner, or [...]

My desire to dive into Indian cuisine has begun. I have been thinking about the food for a few weeks now, and a conversation was started with an employee at the Marquette University Law Library.

Hummus

Posted by daxphillips on November 20th, 2007 filed in Appetizers, Sides, Snack, Vegetables

There is something that is so incredibly delicious that every time I make it, I make sure to not only put in enough garlic to rock the house, but also to get some really good pita bread from an Lebanese store in Milwaukee. I typically make this dish about four times a year, or whenever [...]

Caramelized Onions

Posted by daxphillips on November 7th, 2007 filed in Vegetables

I wanted to do something interesting with the bag of onions I had in the pantry this past week. Typically I would chop and dice these and use in a variety of dishes, or simply make delicious onion rings. As I wanted to make cheeseburgers, I decided instead of using raw onion on the burger, [...]
