Homemade Cheesy Chili Dogs

There are a plethora of regional variations of chili dogs, more than you can shake a frankfurter at! Portillo's Chili Dog Toppings range from some source of meat sauce with cheese, onions, mustard, pickles, tomatoes, hot pepper relish to sauerkraut piled on top. However, the origin of chili dogs is a little vague… Texas chili dogs were originally called Texas Hot Wieners, and originated on the East Coast. Huh? Peter George Koufougeorgas, a Greek immigrant from the town of Nea Koriniput, put the railroad town of Altoona, Pennsylvania on the map with his “Texas hot dog,” in 1918. They surprisingly pretty much had nothing to do with Texas. The “Texas” reference is to the chili sauce, which actually has more of a Greek cuisine influence, due to the Greek ethnicity of Kourougeorgas and his cooks.

I've been eying this cake ever since our last month's reveal, planning to make it anyway. And then imagine my joy when I saw that Cooking with Chopin was my assignment this month! And all of a sudden, I get a reminder email that our SRC reveal was supposed to be this Monday, right in the middle of my detox. What a blow.... The cheesecake would most certainly kill any chance of a diet. So I looked for other recipes, and found this super cute poached egg, one more obsession of mine. I know that egg is not a vegetable, not even a fruit, but how many temptations can one resist in one day? It would be a small sin compared to a cheesecake. And I love poached eggs over green salads, which are healthy, right? So I made the p...

homemade sauerkraut with dill and caraway

i officially love sauerkraut. my love for it has been growing over the past few weeks, since i started my first batch of homemade. and i am now addicted. sauerkraut is simply just pickled cabbage. but there's a variety of ways you can make it, and a bunch of recipes that i went through in order to find 'the one' - so in a mo i'll let you all in on my sauerkraut making secrets... ♥ my first wonderful jar of homemade raw sauerkraut but first, a little info about why on earth you would ever bother to make sauerkraut: 1. it's delicious. i've never really had sauerkraut, and so i wasn't sure if i'd like it. fermented cabbage sounds gross, but with some dill and caraway (the traditional blend) and a few weeks in the fridge, it is almost addictive. 2. it's convenient. it's the perfect thing to keep in your pantry or fridge and use when you've run out of fresh veg. it's a great accompaniment to anything . 3. its cheap. seriously, i can buy one...
