| Bottle rocket hot dogs. |
This may have been a little over the top (unnecessary), but I had fun making these Bottle Rocket Hot Dogs for the kids this weekend.
They were super cute and the kids seemed to enjoy the presentation. The negative about these — in summer — is that you have to bake them.
Turning on the oven when the weather’s in the mid-80s is usually a no no in my house.
Also, no surprise, my daughter wasn’t a fan of the breading. She peeled that right off.
Other menu items that seemed to be a hit this weekend:
- Jalepeno blue cheese burgers (served with red romaine from our CSA and on toasted herb focaccia.)
- Marinated CSA carrots (instead of shallots and garlic, this time I used garlic scapes)
- Beignets (topped with whipped cream, chocolate sauce, strawberries & sprinkles)

| Beignets – fully loaded. |
- Guacamole (a simple version with two avocados, a large grated jalapeno, two cloves crushed garlic, juice of one lime, about two tablespoons chopped fresh cilantro and salt to taste.)
- Red, white & blue strawberries (strawberries dipped in white chocolate and blue sprinkles.)
Except for the carrots, most of what I made this weekend could be eaten with fingers – no forks, spoons or knives really necessary.
