Stay-at-Home Dad blog, Dad or Alive. Enjoy!

There’s no such thing as an original idea in the kitchen. I’ve recently come to this conclusion.

Don’t believe me? Think of a bizarre food combo. Now Google it.

$5.00 goes to the person who can prove me wrong. (Hopefully you take personal checks or rolled coins because with two small kids at home that’s about all I have left.)

Now imagine my frustrations when I think I’m on to something that’s going to WOW the masses, only to find 25 other “foodies” have already beat me to the punch. Well, not this time.

Strawberries. Avocado. Basil. Balsamic. Turkey Burger.

Hell, I don’t even know what to name this beast. So let’s just call him, D. Licious.

A little spicy, a little sweet.

No, I’m not talking about Baby Daddy. I’m talking about this:

Apparently fruit salsas are the next big thing. They’re the food world’s Twilight Saga… maybe even Magic Mike. Yes, I went there.

grilled chicken and pineapple sandwiches with wasabi mayo

Was-aaaa-bi… Mayo, that is.

I’m a huge fan of wasabi. When I was in my wild n’ crazy 20′s I worked at a local sushi bar and absolutely fell in love with the stuff.

I distinctly recall serving a scoop of it in dessert cup under the guise of green tea ice cream to an obnoxiously drunk guest one night. Happy birthday, free dessert!

He threw up, we had a good laugh, I got a stern ‘talking to’ by the manager, all in all a pretty successful shift. This is me, allowing you a brief look at my darker side.

Back to the wasabi at hand. It’s spicy, but in such a good way. Especially when you mix it with mayo, yogurt, garlic and ginger then slather it on a bun as a spicy (yet cool) cohort to this guy:

Well, look at that. It’s Thursday again. Time for a read-one-get-one recipe extravaganza.

I actually came up with this combination last week in preparation for a Sunday Foodie Friend Feeding Frenzy. Foodies run in packs. Scientific fact.

And this Spiced Apple Plum BBQ Chicken did not disappoint. Another fact.

Now that I’ve piqued your interest… let’s get down to business.

Why make a sandwich with bread when you can use a pork chop? Now you see how I roll. (Pun totally intended.)

I’ve been on the hunt for the perfect Cuban pork sandwich for a long, long time. Considering I live halfway across the country from Miami Beach, I decided to take matters into my own hands.

… with Chipotle Honey Mayo.

Okay, I might have gone all day thinking today was Tuesday. Might have. Imagine how happy I was when I realized it was actually Wednesday and one day closer to the weekend. Although I’m not sure why I get so excited about weekends anymore since they’re actually more work for me than weekdays.  At least it’s ‘fun work’ though. I mean, if I could get paid to build Lego towers and practice dance moves to the Fresh Beat Band (on repeat for a solid hour) all week long I’d have a pretty sweet gig.

Speaking of sweet, this week I managed to concoct one of the best two-fer recipes in my entire arsenal. That’s saying a lot.

Just looking at that picture is making my mouth water all over again. I’m telling you, these little guys mean BIZNASS.
