Ladies and Gents...we have a winner!!!

The Smallest Bite's Recipe Contest ended this past Monday and it's time to reveal the big winners! Remember that there is a Delicious Prize for every winner that they are sure to enjoy as much as I enjoyed seeing the photographs of my recipes! Thanks to all of the viewers who submitted photos! And now....the winners!








1st Prize
Maren Oslund








2nd Prize
Maren Oslund









3rd Prize
Maren Oslund

Congratulations to my new friend, Maren Oslund, for winning the first contest from The Smallest Bite! Maren's photos were great and she and her family liked the recipes she cooked! Now, it may seem a bit strange that Maren won all three prizes, but rules are rules! She had the first 3 submissions to the contest, so I felt it fair to award her all 3 prizes for her hard work! Let's hope Maren likes Delicious Prizes times three!

Hot Dog Cheesies 2.0























The Blue Plate Special above features an updated version of another childhood favorite from the 1971 published "Betty Crocker Recipe Card Library" under the category "Recipes Children Can Make"...These recipes weren't difficult and were relatively safe for kids to make under adult supervision. Eating the products of these recipes however, was a different story....Now I realize that "things" were different in the 70's, but someone, somewhere HAD to know how unhealthy is was to eat a hot dog, melted butter, processed American cheese and white bread ALL in ONE bite. But again, nostalgia takes me over and I feel the need to unearth this tasty dish from it's artificially colored grave and give it life once more. It's a quick recipe and goes very well with another favorite, tater tots. Yum!

Hot Dog Cheesies 2.0

*makes 8 servings (adults can eat 2 of these...easy.)
Preheat oven to Broil-Low or 550 degrees

8 Tofu Pups (or Hot Dogs/Franks for you purists..but for goodness sake, at least buy Kosher or All Natural Dogs)
8 Slices of Seven Stars Country White Bread (or another whole grain sandwich bread)
1/4 cup butter-melted
Yellow Mustard
White Cheddar Cheese-sliced
Toothpicks

Boil your Pups/Dogs in water for 4-6 minutes. While they are in the hot tub, lay out the bread slices on a baking sheet and spread one side with mustard. When the dogs are done, drain them of water and place them diagonally on each slice of bread. Cover each dog with a slice of cheese and fold over the bread into a triangular shape. Fasten with a tooth pick (try to get the toothpick through both sides of the crust, it won't slip through that way) and brush the bundle of goodness with melted butter. Broil until golden brown, about 3 minutes. Serve with tots!
