When I was growing up every Friday night was Hot Dog Night! Occasionally we might have something else, but generally speaking we had hot dogs every Friday night.
My mom made the best hot dogs. People used to wish they could get invited to our home for Hot Dog Night. She had a special electric grill pan that she used to cook them in.

She always used the soft sided bread rolls that were top sliced. They are very traditional to New England and Eastern Canada. You can get a recipe to make your own here.
Those would get cooked in the grill first. She would butter them generously all over the cut sides and then they would be grilled until toasty golden brown. Then into the oven they would go to be kept warm while she did the wieners.

The wieners would be slit in half lengthwise, almost all the way through. She would open them out like a book and then they would also be grilled in the grill until they were golden brown.
Tucked into those toasty buttered buns with your favorite condiments and some chopped raw onion, there was nothing tastier on earth. We would each get two, each one being half wrapped in a folded piece of paper towel to keep our fingers from getting greasy.

Occasionally I still like to have a Friday Night Hot Dog Night, but these days I am more than likely to cook my hot dogs in my air fryer! And I do the whole thing, the wieners and the buns.
It's such a simple thing to do, and they always come out perfectly cooked. The trick to perfection is knowing how long to air fryer beef hot dogs and the temp to air fry them at!

WHAT YOU NEED TO MAKE AIR FRYER HOT DOGS
It's simple really but for those of you who are new to this, here you go: (Quantities are given for one hot dog, which you can multiply to make as many as you wish. I do not recommend doing any more than four at once.)
- 1 wiener (I like all beef hot dogs
- 1 hot dog bun (I like the top sliced, soft sided buns)
- softened butter
- honey mustard and sweet pickle relish
- 2 TBS grated cheese
- 1/2 TBS French Fried Onions (in the UK Crispy Salad Onions)

You can use whatever kind of wiener or bun that you enjoy. I happen to love all-beef wieners and do not use any other kind, not ever. And yes, I am partial to the soft sided, top sliced buns.
I like honey mustard and relish on my hotdogs, but you can use whichever condiments that you enjoy. I have never been fond of the taste or texture of ketchup on bread.
I like to add an optional topping of melted cheese and crispy French-fried onions. Here in North American you can use French's or Durkee. In the UK, use Crispy salad onions. They really add a nice touch to the finish!
These are such a simple make. Once you have made your hot dogs in the air fryer, you won't want to make them any other way. They are really no muss no fuss!!
Preheat your air fryer to 400*F/200*C for 5 minutes. (Preheating your air fryer does make a difference.)
Cut a few shallow slashes in the top of your wiener diagonally. (This isn't totally necessary, but something which I like to do.)

Place the wiener(s) into the air fryer basket. Air fry for 5 minutes.
While the wiener is cooking, open your hot dog bun. Place the honey mustard and relish in the bottom of the bun. Brush the sides with softened butter.

At the end of 5 minutes, place the wiener into the hot dog bun, placing it over top of the condiments, slashed side up. Sprinkle with the cheese and then the fried onions.
Return to the air fryer basket and air fry for an additional 2 minutes. Enjoy!

Today I enjoyed mine with a bit of macaroni and cheese. Hot dogs are already a naughty treat for this 60 something year old. In for a penny in for a pound!
I am really enjoying coming to terms with my air fryer. I spend ages thinking about what I am going to do in it next. I have a Kuraidori Air Fryer that I purchased at my local Home Hardware. I started off with a Cuisinart Air Fryer/Toaster Oven. I called it the Cremator.

Some of the other Air Fryer recipes in my English Kitchen that you might enjoy are:
AIR FRYER REUBEN SANDWICHES - Buttery, crisp and lacking none of the flavors or textures that you would expect in a traditional Reuben sandwich. Sauerkraut, Swiss Cheese, Smoked Meat and Thousand Island dressing. Yummo!
CRISPY HERBED TURKEY THIGHS - With their crispy skin and nice herby flavors I love, love these. One of these turkey thighs and a salad on the side and I am one very happy camper indeed!

Thanks so much for visiting. Do come again!
I've always been very fond of turkey burgers. They are one of my favourite things. In fact I would rather have a turkey burger than one made with ground beef, and that's the truth. I recently made some for our supper and tried to incorporate some vegetables into the mix so that I could get in both extra fiber and vitamins, notably iron as I am iron deficient. They were delicious!
I added some whole wheat bread crumbs to help bind them together and I confess . . . a bit of cheese for extra flavour. (In my defense I did use the low fat variety. and I ate my burger without a bun.)
On the side we had roasted sweet potatoes, which I had cut into slices, spritzed with low fat cooking spray and some garlic and onion powder, plus pepper and then roasted in a hot oven . . . and a green vegetable mix.
Todd had his on a bun with a slice of cheese melted on top. He really enjoyed it. I made him eat some tomato and lettuce with it. He's not a salad nut, but if I give it to him he will eat it.
He also had some mayo on the bottom roll, plus he had all the veg that I had as well. He can't afford to lose weight. We were both happy with what we had. No complaints. ☺I do love sweet potatoes and spinach too.
*Spinach Turkey Burgers*
Makes 4 servings
60g of low fat strong cheddar cheese, grated (1/2 cup)
1 pound lean ground turkey
sugars: 3.9g (without bun 1.2g)

We are not partakers of red meat very often. When we do it is usually in the form of a roast or pork chops, sometimes a stew . . . sausages. Maybe we might have red meat about once every two weeks if that. Todd does love a good chop and he adores this BBQ Pork that I make from time to time. Its done in the oven, not on the BBQ, but it has a lovely spicy rub and I serve it with a zingy sauce for dipping!
This is the kind of weeknight supper that will have both you and your family jumping up and shouting for joy! The family because its delicious and you because it is quick, easy and not a lot of faff involved!
Soft white buns . . . spread with a horseradish mayo, topped with tender juicy BBQ Beef, and then slathered in a delicious cheese sauce . . . mmmm . . . what's not to like about that!
When you first look at the list of ingredients, you might be tempted to think its far too much trouble to put it all together, but each element is very simple and doable, and once you get them all done and in place, the rest is a doddle!
The horseradish mayo is simply some mayo whisked together with horseradish sauce, this gets spread on the bottom bun . . .
The BBQ beef as well is really quick and simple. Just whisk the sauce ingredients together in a pan, bring to the boil, then add the beef and reduce the heat until the beef is heated through. Buy the thinnest sliced roast beef that you can buy! At the deli-counter if possible!
The cheese sauce is also very simple . . . as simple as whisking together some grated cheese, corn flour (cornstarch) and evaporated milk and heating it up in the microwave until the cheese is melted and its all blended together and smooth. Yum yum!!
60ml water (1/4 cup)
2 tsp soft light brown sugar
First make the horseradish sauce. Whisk the ingredients together in
a small bowl. Set aside. For the cheese sauce, mix the cheese and
cornflour together in a bowl. Stir in the evaporated milk. Heat in the
microwave on high, stirring every 30 seconds, until the mixture comes
together and is smooth. Keep warm. (If you think it is too thick, you
may whisk in a bit more milk and reheat.)
Whisk the tomato ketchup, water, brown sugar, vinegar, all seasonings and hot sauce together in a pan. Bring to the boil, then reduce to a low simmer. Add the roast beef and heat through gently until heated thoroughly.

While the meat is heating, split your buns, wrap in foil and warm in a hot oven for about 8 minutes.
To serve spread the bottom of each bun with a portion of the horseradish mayo. Top with a portion of the BBQ Beef, and finally the cheese sauce. Place the top of the bun on top and serve immediately.

We had some oven chips on the side with this, but coleslaw would be great or a salad. This is a real winning sandwich. Hearty and delicious! Bon Appetit!
I thought it would be fun today to talk about how to build a breakfast board. This is something you might want to do for your family on special occasions, holidays, etc.
Its something which is fabulous when you have company or even children's sleepovers. Easy and quick to make they always go down really well.
You can do most of the prep ahead of time, simply reheating things and putting them onto the board at the last minute, ready for people to help themselves!
They are meant to be fun. They are meant to be delicious. They are meant to be simple, quick and easy to make.
As you can see from looking at mine I have included a breakfast assortment here. There are pancakes, waffles, scrambled eggs, sausage, bacon, hash browns, and an assortment of berries.
I have included a small jug of pure maple syrup and you could also add a pot of whipped butter which would be nice. People also love croissants.
All you need on the side perhaps is a pot of hot coffee for the adults and a jug of fresh orange juice for everyone to enjoy!
Today I made Cheesy Scrambled Eggs. I used this recipe from my archives for Scrambled Eggs with Cheese and Chives. Today I left out the chives because I didn't have any.
Nothing says home sweet home more than a plate of scrambled eggs. They are so easy to make as well and you can easily keep them warm in a low oven if need be.
They are also something which can be thrown together at the last minute just before you go to serve your board.
I baked some Cookies N' Cream Waffles using my mini heart waffle baker. These tasty waffles have chocolate cookie bits scattered throughout and are delicious, with the perfect balance of crunch and fluff!
You can find the recipe for these delicious waffles below. These are something you can make well ahead of time, simply reheating them in the oven just prior to laying out your breakfast board!
These tasty waffles are studded with crunchy cookie bits! I baked them in my mini heart shaped waffle iron. The recipe makes 6 to 8 single hearts.
- 6 cream filled chocolate cookies, pulverized
- 1 cup (140g) all purpose plain flour
- 2 tsp baking powder
- 1 TBS white sugar
- 1 large free range egg
- 1 cup (240ml) whole milk
Simply whisk together all the dry ingredients. Then whisk together the wet, adding them to the dry and combining both until no dry clumps remain. Bake as per the instructions for your waffle maker.
You want to include an assortment of fruit for your breakfast board. This can be any fruit you like, cut into bite sized pieces.
Today I chose to use an assortment of halved large strawberries, fresh blueberries and fresh blackberries.
Sliced apple is also nice, as are sliced pears, peaches, quartered figs, plums, etc. Bananas and pineapple are also nice. Do note that some fruits will need to be brushed with lemon juice to keep from turning brown.
Some kind of protein is a must. Bacon and breakfast sausage are the usual choice, but you might want to go with sliced cold meats. You know what your family will enjoy.
You can cook the sausages and the bacon ahead of time and keep them warm in a low oven while you cook other things. You can even cook them the night before and warm them up in the morning.
I used Maple Breakfast sausage and old fashioned thick bacon. Both worked very well.
Pancakes always go down a real treat on a breakfast board. My children always loved pancakes and I can't think of too many people that wouldn't!
You do want to keep them smaller in size however as there are a lot of options on the breakfast board to choose from.
I chose to make my Silver Dollar Pancakes. The recipe makes pancakes that are roughly the size of a silver dollar.
You can also make these well ahead of time and reheat in a low oven. These are soft and tender and fluffy inside, with just a tiny bit of crunch and wholesomeness from the small addition of cornmeal.
Another thing I added which was really nice were breakfast potatoes. Most people enjoy hash browns or pan fries with their breakfasts.
You can either do them from scratch or use some of the wonderful frozen options that are available these days.
That is what I did. I used these mini potato pancake hash browns. They were really nice and were just the right size for the board.
You could also use Tater Tots, hash brown wedges or even hash brown patties. All work very well.
The important thing is to have fun with it. Its not meant to be a stressful exercise, but something that is not only fun to put together but something which is fun to eat.
It should be appealing to the eye and to the palate! If you pop everything piping hot onto the breakfast board and call your family to attend pronto, there is no reason why it cannot be enjoyed while things are still nice and warm.
Using heated plates also help to keep the breakfast warm. Just be sure to warn your family and guests that the plates are warm!
As you can see everything fits really nicely onto a sandwich sized plate. A drizzle of maple syrup, a squirt of tomato sauce, some salt and pepper and I was ready to tuck in!
Fun and delicious!! The world really is your oyster when it comes to something like this. Just choose the things you family enjoys and go with the flow!
You could even cut up dinner rolls or croissants to make small sized French Toasts! Or make Cinnamon French Toast Batons! The important thing is to have fun!
Oh boy, I can't believe how lazy I get sometimes. Yes, even I have days when I can't be asked to cook or I am too busy to cook and those are the days when a recipe like this one comes in really handy!
Its great for those lazy nights . . . for the too hot to cook nights . . . for the busier than a hen hauling wood nights . . .
Its also quite economical and quick, oh and did I mention that its delicious? Well it is all of those things and more, much more!
I have never had a real cheese steak sandwich, I hasten to add. Never even been close to Philadelphia, but I know what I like to eat and these I like to eat.
Its as easy as softening some onions, mushrooms and green bell peppers in a pan, adding some stock and cooked steak slices . . .
Pile that onto toasted hoagie buns that you have slathered with creamy horseradish sauce, top with some cheese and dinner is served!
It could not be easier. I have given quantities for two people, but you can easily multiply the amounts to serve more than two people.
I use a combination of Edam and Gouda cheeses because they melt really easily, but you could use whatever cheese you fancy. Fontina would be good actually.
For the beef stock I use the little gel stock packs you can get over here from the people at Knorr. I like the rich beef ones. They have lots of flavour, and a rich dark colour!
*Quick & Easy Cheese Steak Sandwiches*
Serves 21 small green bell pepper, trimmed and cut into strips
2 TBS creamy horseradish sauce
2 hoagie buns 
If you can't get refrigerated cooked Steak slices you could also use sliced deli roast beef, cut into strips. Either way it is delicious. I really hope you will add these to your summer/weekday/lazyday meal repertoire! Bon Appetit!
