Zucchini Cakes

Ingredients

2 small shredded zucchini (Place in paper towels and press out as much water as possible.)

1/2 cup of parmesan cheese 

3/4 cup of panko bread crumbs

A pinch of red pepper

1/4 cup of egg beaters

Olive Oil

Mix together zucchini, parm cheese, bread crumbs, pepper, and egg beaters. Then patty and cook in heated olive oil until brown on both sides. I served mine with a sandwich since I made small patties. They would also be great on a sandwich if you made them larger!

Oven Chili Dog's

Oven hotdogs? My husband said the same thing. His exact words, "Why are you wasting your time just boil the hotdogs and top with cheese and chili." But after eating one he gave me a sincere apology and said, "This is the most amazing hotdog I have ever ate." There is something about cooking them in the oven that makes these hotdogs amazing. Lets just say I will never settle for a boiled hotdog again!  

Ingredients:
4 hotdogs
4 buns
1 can hotdog chili
Relish
Mayo
Mustard
Cheddar Cheese
Diced Onion

Preheat oven to 350 degrees. Put mayo, mustard and relish on bun. Place hotdogs in bun and top with chili and plenty of it.

 Top with cheese

 And Onions. Cover with foil and bake for 45 minutes.

 You will need a knife and a fork for these bad boys!

 Enjoy!!!
