Hotdogs: Every Kid's Favorite

By Brenda Hyde
Whether you call them hotdogs, wiener, or frankfurters; kids love them! But even kids need a little variety with their wieners, so try these recipes for a change of pace. I suggest using good frankfurters that use quality ingredients. You can also substitute other types of bun sized sausages for the hotdogs in any of these recipes.

Chili Dog Pizza

Ingredients:

2 cups buttermilk baking mix (such as Bisquick)

1/2 cup cold water

1 cup homemade or canned chili

1 small onion, chopped

5 frankfurters, thinly sliced

1 cup shredded cheddar cheese

Heat oven to 425 degrees. Mix baking mix and water until soft dough forms. Roll or pat dough into a 12 inch circle on ungreased cookie sheet or pizza pan. Pinch edge of circle, forming a 1/2 inch rim. Spread chili over dough; sprinkle with remaining ingredients. Bake until crust is golden brown, about 20 minutes.

Mac and Dogs

8 ounces uncooked macaroni

3 tablespoons each butter and flour

1 3/4 cup milk

1 cup each cheddar and colby cheeses

2 tablespoons grated parmesan cheese

1 tsp. Worcestershire sauce

1/2 tsp. salt

1/4 tsp. pepper

2 all-beef hotdogs cut into 1/4 inch pieces

Cook macaroni according to package directions; drain. Meanwhile in medium pan melt butter over medium heat. Stir in flour; cook 1 minute. Gradually stir in milk. Cook until thickened, stirring constantly, about 3 minutes. Add cheeses, Worcestershire sauce, salt and pepper.Cook and stir until cheese melts. Stir in macaroni and hot dog pieces. Serve immediately. Serves 4-6.

Barbecue Franks

1 28 ounce can pork and beans

2 frankfurters, sliced

1/2 green pepper, diced fine

1/2 onion minced

1/4 cup water

1/4 cup brown sugar

Mix all ingredients; place in casserole. Bake for 1 hour at 350 degrees. 3 servings.

Creole Franks

Ingredients:

5 slices bacon, diced

1/2 cup chopped onion

1 cup pineapple juice

3/4 cup catsup

1/4 tsp. chili powder

1/2 tsp. Cajun seasoning (optional)

12 frankfurters

Cook bacon, add onion. Brown and drain off fat. Stir in pineapple juice, catsup and spices. Score frankfurters diagonally; add to sauce. Cover; bring to a boil. Simmer for 8-12 minutes. Serve over rice or noodles. 4-6 servings.

Frankfurters Supreme

Ingredients:

9 frankfurters

6 medium sized potatoes

1/4 pound American or Velveeta cheese

1 cup milk

prepared mustard to taste

salt

12 strips bacon

Cook hotdogs in boiling water for 10 minutes; cut in half lengthwise. Place cut side up, on cookie sheet in groups of three. Boil potatoes in salted water until done; mash. Melt cheese in hot milk; add to mashed potatoes. Add mustard and salt. Pile potatoes on top of hotdogs. Partially fry bacon; put two strips on top of each serving. Bake in 350 degree oven for 15-20 minutes or until heated through. Finish browning bacon under broiler. 6 servings.

Ingredients:

1 pound ground chuck

1 can (15 ounce) chili bean mix

1 can (15 ounce) seasoned diced tomatoes

8 footlong hotdogs

1 long hotdog buns

Growing and Using Garlic Chives
Garlic chives, Allium tuberosum, is a hardy perennial (Zones 3-9) that will grow to about 12 inches high. The stems are skinnier and flat, instead of hollow as are regular chives, with greenish white blooms that are about an inch wide and not as rounded. They bloom in the summer rather than spring. The bloom stalks grow much taller than the leaves, sometimes up to 30 inches.

The stems and blooms are both edible and have a mild garlic onion taste. I've noticed many writers will list this as primarily as an Asian herb, as they are also known as Chinese chives, Chinese leeks, ku chai (China) or Nira (Japan), but it has many other uses as well!

The Perfect Porch Swing
Perhaps it is the soothing rhythm or the reassuring creak of the porch swing that attracts us. Perhaps it is the companionable silence or quiet conversation. Or maybe swings simply remind us of more genteel times.

Although porch swings can be purchased in a wide range of materials, the most common are wicker and wood. You can also make your own porch swing from one of the myriad of woodworking patterns available at garden centers, hardware stores, or on the Internet.
