Homemade Hawaiian Pizza with Semolina Crust
I always say that I am constantly on the look for the best pizza… I just never realized that it may be in my own kitchen. One thing that is incredibly traditional to the folks in Italy, but not America, is the semolina crust. Talk about delicious, WOW! I can’t help it, but I’m a…

No it’s not Mojo, like Austin Powers, it’s pronounces Moho – The J is silent :-).

I started to recognize I could make these after all of the leftover…
Gruyere and Scallion Biscuit Croque Monsieur Recipe
Continuing on with my Eating Through the Kitchen Cabinets series, I had so much ham left I could have made 10 gallons of split pea soup. However, I’m a bit over soups since I’ve been eating them the past 4 freezing cold months here in Chicago. I decided to go classic and a little noveau,…

March is one of my favorite months. Not only because you get a slight glimmer of hope from the 40 degree weather in Chicago and that winter is almost over, but that it’s MARCH MADNESS! Man do I love college sports, and especially college basketball when it’s tournament time. I always have a few fellas…
The Ultimate BLT Recipe
The Super Bowl may not be a calendar holiday, but in my house it’s one of the biggest days of the year. It’s a reason to get together with friends, watch every commercial, grill when it’s absolutely freezing outside, and say farewell to football for 7 months. The great Vince Lombardi said his life consisted…
Pappardelle Pasta Recipe with Sausage and Vegetables
While this Pappardelle Pasta Recipe with Sausage and Vegetables has some summer notes in it, you can definitely still make it throughout the fall. My wife loves pappardelle and so do I, and it’s crazy to think it’s been probably 7 years since I made it. If you are making pappardelle from scratch, there are so…
Caribbean Rice and Beans Recipe
If you’ve never had an authentic Caribbean Rice and Beans Recipe, I highly recommend trying it. It’s very easy to prepare and really really tasty! The coconut milk just makes the rice so rich and creamy, it’s amazing. Really I think this recipe would go with plenty of other dishes that aren’t indigenous to the Caribbean…
Butter Bean Recipe with Corn, Tomatoes and Bacon
While I was making this Grilled Pork Tenderloin Recipe with Roasted Pineapple Salsa I knew I had to serve it with some veggies, so I whipped up this Butter Bean Recipe with Corn, Tomatoes and Bacon.

Fall Off The Bone Ribs
Contrary to popular belief ribs are not supposed to fall off the bone. They should be smoked at low temperatures for long periods of time and should stick to the bone a bit when you eat them. Well, everyone in a while I want some fall off the bone ribs and that’s exactly what I…
Pulled Pork with Honey Chipotle BBQ Sauce
I am always crossing that line in between chef and dad, gourmet vs everyday, smoked bbq vs oven baked bbq. Sometimes hard to be honest, because when I want to go above and beyond, I can’t.. It’s not practical. So for the practical family out there I made a few oven roasted recipes for your…
Southwest Grilled Chicken with Ham and Potato Hash
Nothing more to say than I had a ton of random leftover ingredients which then became a ham and potato hash. I had cut up ham left over from Easter, I had 1 sweet potato, a bunch of yukon potatoes and some bell peppers, so heck why not? Also not too mention it was nice…

There is nothing like a hearty breakfast that is loaded with flavor and with…
Tomato Soup Recipe and Grilled Cheese with Prosciutto
Nothing reminds me of cold winters growing up in Michigan more than mom’s tomato soup and grilled cheese.

This Tomato Soup Recipe and Grilled Cheese with Prosciutto is definitely my moms recipe on steroids, but I suppose…
Maple Glazed Pork Chops Recipe with White Beans
Man do I love this Maple Glazed Pork Chops Recipe with White Beans, seriously. It is one of the most balanced dishes I have ever made with the savory beans, to the sweet maple glaze to the natural saltiness in the pork. To be honest it’s been a minute since I’ve made it, and it was…
Holiday Ham Glaze Recipe
Man do I love going to my dad’s side of the family Christmas Eve parties. The place is always jam packed with the most amazing food you could ever imagine.
