Coney Island Hot Dogs

The story of how the Coney Island hog dog got to the Midwest is pretty straightforward, but no one really knows exactly how the wiener first came to be topped with what is basically a hot meat relish. I have no idea how authentic this is and have never been to Detroit or even Flint. I have had Nathan's version, which I enjoyed, but the word on the street is that it's not nearly as good as the relatives it spawned.

Lighter Banana Muffins

This banana bread has no oil, or butter of any sort. It doesn't need it! Because this bread isn't greasy it makes great muffins without the greasy bottoms I have experienced through other recipes. The walnuts are optional.

Apple Butter Meatballs

These apple butter meatballs combine savory ground beef and pork with a sweet and tangy apple butter glaze. The meatballs are baked until golden, then tossed in a smooth glaze made from apple butter, bourbon, soy sauce, and a touch of maple syrup. It's an easy yet flavorful dish, perfect as an appetizer or paired with a side for a quick and satisfying meal.

Slow Cooker Chicken Stroganoff

This chicken stroganoff is so good and so easy to make in the slow cooker on a busy day. It is a simple, creamy sauce with cubed chicken breast. Serve over hot cooked rice or pasta.

Sweet and Sour Christmas Fish Soup

I received a package of fresh Lake Winnipeg walleye as a Christmas gift and thought I would do something special with it. Although a quick pan fry is quite special, I thought I would try my new Christmas wok. Loved it!
