Recipe Box, The Chef’s Best!

Happy Father’s Day!

I know people think I do a lot of cooking,

but truth be known I have a resident chef…

We have a multi-generational household and he and I tag team

the cooking and shopping for meals

Sooo…

In honor of my chef son, who is one of the world’s greatest Dads,

I am re-sharing some of his very best culinary creations

and magazine worthy presentations!

Let’s start with

Appetizers!

HHjr is famous for his Asian Firecrackers

Fried wontons stuffed with sausage, cream cheese, green chiles

and served with sweet and sour sauce in a pineapple bowl

Italian Party Bread is made with cut up biscuit dough,

Marinara sauce, and Italian meats and cheeses and baked in a bundt pan

It’s impossible to resist grabbing a bite!

Leftover pulled pork tops cheesy potato skins with BBQ sauce

for amazing Pulled Pork Potato Skins

Instead of batter fried onion rings

try wrapping them in bacon and grilling {or baking} them

Maple Bacon Wrapped Onion Rings

Sides

This Summer Tomato Salad Stack is his knock-off

of a salad from Hot n’ Hot, a famous local restaurant

It is guaranteed to set eyes popping!

Sinful Scalloped Potatoes

potatoes layered with cheeses and cream and baked to golden perfection

Ryan’s Garden Tomato Pie holds some surprises,

under all those cherry tomatoes lies a combination

of summer squash, spinach cheese and prosciutto

Main Dishes

A TrompoKing is a vertical skewer

He loaded the skewer with pork shoulder slices in between

a pineapple top and bottom

and cooked the meat on his Big Green Egg grill,

low and slow,

for the amazing Tacos Al Pastor

Bourbon BBQ Chicken with Grilled Pineapple

A perfect summer meal

BBQ Salmon is cooked with a buttery brown sugar Asian glaze

My favorite recipe of his just might be Scallops with Creamy Bacon Pasta

My son is famous for his pizzas too

He loves to cook them in his Outdoor Kitchen pizza oven

that he built himself!

He makes the Best Pizza Dough Ever

He has quite a following,

and his youngest son often helps him in the kitchen and on the grill

Charlie Brown and CC think their uncle is really funny

Try these tasty combos

Corn & Asparagus, Fresh Peach with Sausage & Balsamic

And Italian Meatlovers!

HHjr doesn’t make desserts,

but he loves ice cream

and gave me an ice cream maker, hint, hint

I made him a batch of Raspberry Dream Ice Cream

A refreshing summer dessert!

Happy Father’s Day to all the incredible Dads out there!

I hope you have a delicious day!
