Jalapeno Dogs

YUM!!

YUM!!

 So I can’t cook country gourmet every night ? some days we eat some already prepared food like Hot Dogs! Tonight is a hot dog night. Not just any hot dog……a totally dolled up, dressed up, yummy-for-my-tummy hot dog!!

Y’all ever heard of pickled jalapenos and carrots? Saw a recipe for it on a foodie blog, but I just buy it in a can. Will have to try the recipe some day. It’s called escabeche. I love to chop them up together like a relish and put it all over grilled hot dogs. I also add a little onion. Talk about some ZING!!

Just grill the dogs until they are done, with a little bit of burn on them (not too much!) Mayo up the bread, yes mayo!! Mayo rocks on grilled hotdogs. Other dogs might need relish, ketchup and/or mustard but grilled….definitely mayo. Something about the grill taste makes these dogs ROCK!! I always use real mayo, too. None of that funny stuff!!

So here ya go!!

 

What I Call My Bobby Flay Burger!!

I subscribe to a foodie magazine from Food Network and the latest one I have has some Bobby Flay burgers in it. Now, I love me a good burger!! (I also love me a Bobby Flay!!) So the kids and took a vote and the Cheyenne burger won!! Kinda like a Western Bacon Cheeseburger from that star place…and Oh my goodness!! We made these burgers and they we fabulous!!!! Homemade onion rings AND bacon!!! Hello??? Talk about some YUM!

Had I known onion rings are so easy to make, we would have been chasionion-rings1ng folks away with onion breath years ago! Imagine a houseful of kids all with onion breath…..Oh my!! (Let’s not go there!) This is my first attempt at onion rings. They ROCK!!

Anyway here are some pics of the now famous (at my house anyway, thank you Bobby Flay) Cheyenne burgers we created and the wonderfully mouth watering onion rings that went along with them. ?

 

Enjoy!

MMMM!!! Carnitas? Pig in a pit??

pork-rice-and-cheese-burritoSo how was Mother’s Day?? We ATE! A LOT!! We went to a little Mexican Restaurant here in Corona and I had some delicious carnitas. Gonna have to learn how to make those…any ideas? I would also love to learn how to make a pig in a pit! You know, like at a Luau. MMMMMM!!!!

One thing I do make a lot is Chile Verde Pork. It’s so EASY!! Just get a pork roast of any kind, bone in preferably, sear in on all sides and pop it in the crock pot, pour some chili verde sauce on top and cook for about 6 hours on high. When it’s falling off the bone and so tender, just shred it up and there ya go!! Make pork potato and cheese burritos (YUM!), taquitos, tacos or just some chili verde pork on a plate and add whatever you like…beans, rice or just good old fashioned tortillas (standing in the middle of the kitchen!)!!

MMMM!! Now I am making me hungry!
