Happy Memorial Day!

     This year we had a super low-key memorial day. It was just John, baby Biggie, and me! Is it just me or does Trader Joe's have the best samples? Seriously, I bought all the ingredients to make these hot dogs w/bacon cheddar  ranch dip. It was a splurge, not some thing done regularly at all. They were  super easy, tasty, and festive. What's more American than a hot dog on Memorial Day? Now I'm sure the hot dogs of years past weren't uncured, nitrate free on whole wheat buns, but none the less they where as red, white and blue as it gets.It was also Herc's first hot dog ever, (besides the sample bite in the store.)

Bacon Cheddar Ranch Hot Dogs
Ingredients:

1- pack whole wheat buns
1- pack jumbo or regular Trader Joe's uncured,
nitrate free beef hot dogs
1 - tub bacon cheddar ranch dip
Shredded cheese
Avocado slices (opt.)

Steam or boil hot dogs for about 8 minutes. Preheat your oven to 350 degrees. Then open the buns and

smear some of the dip on both sides, whatever looks good to you. Put your hot dogs in the bun and sprinkle with some cheese. Throw in oven for about 6 minutes or until cheddar is melted. Then add your avocado if you please.

This is just a picture of our old apartment.  John came across it when he was organizing photos.  I want to make it my blog header, I haven't figure it out yet, that is my new goal -  learn to design my blog and other general computer useage.   That's it, hope this makes you smile cause it sure makes me smile!

RANDOM GOODNESS

Hi! Remember me? I'M BACK! So much has happened in the last two years and I can't wait to share.  First of all I had a baby.  He's not such a baby any more, he's one and a half but he looks like he's three.  His name is Heracles but we call him Herc for short. I love him he's the best! He is a wild little thing and takes up my every waking hour, but that kid has inspired me in so many ways. So I'm ready to pass on all my Random Goodness that he shares with me!
