Growing up, my family's schedule seemed to revolve around mealtime. I have to attribute my love for home cooked food to my mother. She didn't believe in cereal and made us breakfast every morning. I think that deserves some kind of award. Pancakes were my favorite breakfast growing up and my mom made hers from scratch. To be honest, I didn't know you could buy pancake mix at the store until I went to college. I don't claim to be a fabulous cook. I just wanted a place to keep and share all the recipes I love.
My family all came together in the evenings to eat dinner. It was at this time that relationships were built and strengthened. I believe that family dinner is an important tool for cultivating love and strengthening the family. This is why I cook. This is why I share.

Sheep Dogs

  • hotdogs
  • mashed potatoes
  • cheddar cheese, shredded
  1. Place oven on broil.
  2. Cut hotdogs long-ways (hotdog style) but keep connected. It should look like a hotdog bun. Place hotdogs on cookie sheet and cook on both sides in oven until they start to brown.
  3. Pull hotdogs out of oven and place a heaping spoonful of warm mashed potatoes on open hotdog and sprinkle with cheese.
  4. Put back in oven long enough for cheese to melt.
