Corn dog Casserole

True confession: this sounds gross!

It does!

True confession: we ate it.

We did!

Worked all day.

Ran home.

Had 45 minutes before the girl cherub had to be at dance and the Mr. and the boy cherub had to leave for the Rangers/Yankees game.

Cooking dinner is much cheaper than going out.

Remember this!

Not "this" -- but that statement before it.

It's true.

You're like me. You look in your cabinets at "stuff" and say, "There's nothing to eat."

We're spoiled.

It's true.

But this isn't an editorial about our abundance.

It's a blog about food.

I look in the freezer. There are hot dogs.

Not any ol' hot dog. The boy cherub is particular.

They're Hebrew National hot dogs. The fat free ones -- or whatever they call them.

I had a box of jiffy cornbread mix.

Because everyone should keep a box of that stuff. It's handy.

I had onion.

We made dinner!

Corn dog Casserole

1 jiffy cornbread mix
1 package of hot dogs, cut into bite size pieces
1/2 onion, chopped
1 egg
3/4 cups milk
1 cup cheddar cheese, or to taste

Preheat the oven to 400 degrees.

Chop onion and saute in pan in a smidge of oil.

When the onions are soft, add the hot dogs and continue cooking until the onions are a caramel color.

In a bowl mix the cornbread mix, egg, and the milk. Stir until well combined. Add the cheddar cheese, onion/hot dog mix and stir well.

Pour into a 8X8 pan (or 9X9) that's been sprayed with Pam. Bake for about 30 minutes or until done and golden brown.

Serve with mustard . . .after all, it's kinda like a corn dog!

I served chips and fresh mango for a complete meal! The only problem with this -- it was all kind of the same color! Next time, I'll go for strawberries; that'll break the orange/yellow on the plate!

Charleston's Style Potato Soup

Love Charleston's! Love everything I ever eat at Charleston's. Love the blackened fish sandwich, which isn't listed on the menu but you can still order it, with glazed carrots. Love the carrots! Love the chicken fingers; the best there are! I rarely order them -- because it's not a healthy choice, but oh boy! They're delish! Love the honey glazed croissant. L.O.V.E! Love the pork chops with smashed potatoes and glazed carrots. Love the potato soup! Seriously adore it! It's thick. It's simple. It's delicious! We don't have a Charleston's where we live. Boo hoo! Here's a close replica of Charleston's baked potato soup. I found it at www.tastebook.com I made some adjustments to the recipe. Not because I think I "know," but because I didn't have everything on hand nor can my sweet girl cherub have some of the ingredients. I made it and didn't tell my family what it was su...

Neiman Marcus' Chicken Tortilla Soup

I've been to eat at Neiman Marcus one time. It was really good! "Everyone" talks about the Neiman Marcus cafe and the things they love from there. Because I've only been once, my variety of selection is limited! However, I have had lunch with friends that serve this Neiman Marcus soup recipe. It is so delicious that I wanted to pass it along to you! If your weather is like our weather, one day you're making soup and the next your grilling out!

"Hosaf" (Dried Fruit Compote)

I've made reference to our trip last Summer to different European countries. My prized souvenirs are cookbooks from each country. I'm not sure, of the 4 cookbooks, which is my favorite, but I surely enjoy the one I purchased while in Greece. I'll tell the quick story: We were in an open air market in Greece, searching through antiques and junk. Along the perimeter of where we were shopping were business. In typical European fashion, outside one of the restaurants was a young man leaning against the doorframe, as if to summon customers into his restaurant. When he heard our English, he asked where we were from, as he had studied in the States when he was in school. That question led to a great conversation and he invited us into the restaurant which he and his mother owned. We sampled all sorts of incredible foods that afternoon and when I told him that I would love to have a cookbook because of the great experience we had just had, he showed me the co...
