Chili Cheese Dog Egg Rolls

Yum
Happy Halloween!! 
I think I did it. I think I made something tempting enough to eliminate the pre- Trick or Treating dinner struggle. If your kids are anything like mine, they are going to be way too excited about Trick or Treating to willingly sit still long enough to eat anything before the bag load of sugar they're about to get tonight. So my plan of attack was to make something so tempting, they won't be able to say no. My Chili Cheese Dog Egg Rolls are crispy, cheesy and absolutely delicious. I've never met a kid that didn't like hot dogs, mine are no exception, but to wrap up all the cheesy meaty goodness in a crispy egg roll wrapper? They're going to gobble them up!
I suggest serving them with mustard, pickles and if you're spicy like me, pickled jalapeno slices!
Chili Cheese Dog Egg Rolls
6 cups vegetable oil
3 all natural, all beef hot dogs
1 ¼ cup shredded sharp cheddar cheese
¼ cup finely diced white onion
¾ cup good quality canned or leftover homemade chili
8 Twin Dragon Egg Roll Wrappers
½ cup yellow mustard
½ cup pickles (optional)

In an electric fryer or large high sided skillet fitted with a candy thermometer, bring the oil up to 375 degrees over medium high heat.
Roughly chop the hot dogs into bite sized pieces. Add the chopped hot dogs, cheese, onion and chili to a small mixing bowl and stir to combine.
Lay an egg roll wrapper on a large cutting board with one corner of the wrapper pointing toward you and lightly moisten all 4 edges with water. Place ¼ to 1/3 cup of the filling just below the center of the wrapper.  Fold bottom corner over mixture, fold sides in, and roll up tightly.
Fry egg rolls for 3 minutes, or until golden and crisp.
Serve with mustard for dipping, and pickles if desired
Makes 8 egg rolls

Happy Halloween!!

Yum
 I hope you are all having a Happy Halloween! We really had so much fun with the kids this year carving their pumpkins and getting geared up for Halloween night!
 As a thank you treat for Marshall's teachers I decided to make chocolate covered caramel apples. I used Granny Smiths since those are my favorite and they pair so well with caramel. I stuck the wooden stick through the core after scrubbing the skin with really hot water and a scrubber brush to remove any wax on the skin. Then I placed a green apple sour straw flavored candy on the wooden stick to act as the pumpkin's stem. After that I dipped each apple in melted caramels and then dipped them in a layer of orange candy coating. I cut fondant pieces for the face of the pumpkins and even thought they didn't come out as perfectly as the idea I had in my mind, I was still happy with the end result. I hope his teachers were too!
 Trick or Treat!

 Packaged up and ready to go!

Jalapeno Popper Pot Pies

Pot Pie is the kind of dish that feels made for a Sunday Supper and this one is no exception. It’s creamy, comforting, and a little spicy – ...
