Food

Last week, I read a post on Amanda's blog about a hot dog bar she set up for a get-together with friends. While not everyone loves hot dogs, I do from time to time, especially at a baseball game!  And, while Amanda features five hot dogs, I knew the boys wouldn't be too interested, so Jeremy and I picked two. Here they are:

The Cuban:
We used sliced ham, provolone cheese, spicy mustard and Claussen pickles.  It was so good!

 The Steakhouse:
You can't even tell there is a hot dog on there, but we added cheddar cheese, sauteed onions and mushrooms, cherry tomatoes and A1 steak sauce.  A definite winner, too.

So, if you're craving a hot dog with a twist, these are two great options!

And, since it was cold yesterday, and I don't know how many more cold days we'll have this Winter, I made a batch of my cousin's green chili stew.  There is just something about fresh Hatch green chili that makes this recipe incredible.  

I was thinking about what to make for Fat Tuesday, and then I realized with this post that we might have a problem making every day a fat Tuesday :)

  1. I love hotdogs … I just wish they weren't so processed or I would eat them a WHOLE lot more than I already do. :) Glad I stumbled upon your blog!

  3. My mom gave us a cookbook "The Ranch Cafe Cookbook" and everything calls for Hatch chiles, but they don't exist here in Illinois! What would be a good substitute?
