Cocktail wieners wrapped in bacon

Everyone has had cocktail wieners, and for the most part they are just OK!  We just got home from my youngest daughters teachers wedding. They had some really good things to eat, but much to my surprise the thing I liked best was the cocktail wieners wrapped in bacon! They were awesome!!

I didn't ask for the how too, but I looked like they cooked it pretty much like you normally  would. In a crock pot with a little bit of BBQ sauce, but they wrapped a strip of bacon around the wiener.  It was great!! The next time we have a party I'm going to make some. You Should too!!

Or you could just wrap the bacon around The wiener and put it strait in the oven.

Tuna patties

When I was a kid, my mom and dad liked to make tuna patties. They are really easy to make, and good too.

1 can of tuna
1 sleeve of soda crackers
2 eggs
salt and pepper

Just mix it all together and form it into patties.  Spay a little cooking spray in the bottom of your pan and cook it until it's dry.

Give it a try!! Its really good!

Cheese ball

I really like cheese balls with good crackers. They are really easy to make, and great to take to party's.

Start with a bar of cream cheese. Add a half pound of cheddar and a half pound of pepper jack. Add some green onions, garlic and onion powder and mix it together in your kitchen aid. I have mixed it by hand before and it really stinks. Scoop it out on a piece of plastic wrap. You can put slivered almonds on the out side if you want. Form it into a ball and put it into the refrigerator. Serve it with your favorite crackers or veggies.

Give it a try!! It's really easy!

BBQ grill pizza

My wife came up with this idea. She would make her dough. Let the kids make their own little pizzas, putting the toppings they like on them. You may want to help them with the crushed tomatoes. Then she would put them on the grill and put the lid on. It doesn't take long to cook them, so keep an eye on them. The secret is not to make them very big. Play with it a time or two to get the temperature right.

1 can of tomato sauce
1 can of pineapple cubes
cheddar and  mozzarella cheese
mushrooms
pepperoni
ham
bell pepper
onions

 I like to put a little salt and onion and garlic powder on the sauce.


Pizza dough recipe

3 1/2 cups of flour
1 T spoon and a little yeast
1/4 cup of sugar
1 t salt
1/2 cup olive oil
1 1/2 cups warm water


Mix the yeast, sugar and 1 cup of water. Let the yeast start to react then add the dry ingredients and oil. mix it all together and let it raise.

Grandma H's goulash

I spent the summer at my grandma and grandpa's. My grandpa always had a big garden. Grandma's goulash was what we had every day for lunch. Grandma would go to the garden, and pick tomatoes, onions, okra zucchini, summer squash, green beans, carrots and jalapenos. Then she would take them in the house, and clean them. Next she put about a half pound of bacon in a pan and let it cook of a little while. Then she would cut up all the veggies and when the bacon was about half cooked she would drain the fat, and put the veggies in the pan. Let it cook for a few minutes and put the lid on the pan. Cook it until everything is tender. It makes kind of a thick stew. The jalapenos made it spicy so if you are making it for the faint of heart skip the peppers.

If you are wondering what to do with all your veggies this summer, give grandmas goulash a try!!

Fried green tomatoes

When I was a kid, my mom and dad made fried green tomatoes and I really didn't like them. Now fast forward many years and I like them a lot!! I saw a guy selling green tomatoes today. Cant wait to fry them up. We eat them buy them selves and in sandwiches.

First slice them like you would a normal slice of tomato. Next season them with salt and pepper. Dip them in flour and then in eggs. Finally dip them in bread crumbs. Have a pan with hot oil ready, and fry them until they are golden.

3-4 green tomatoes
1 cup of flour
3 eggs
2 cups of bread crumbs
salt and pepper

Give them a try!! They are really yummy!!
