A play on words for baked beans and hot dogs. It was one of my childhood favorites. I still like it!
I like to take dry beans; pinto and kidney - soak them overnight, then cook to use as the base for my baked beans.
Recipe for Hallow Weenies:
2/3 cup cooked pinto beans
2/3 cup cooked kidney beans
1 can tomato sauce
1 can diced tomatoes
2 garlic cloves chopped
1 white onion chopped
Seasoning: 1/2 tsp each - pepper, salt, cumin, ginger and Mrs. Dash tomato basil seasoning
6 or 8 hot dogs sliced into bite size pieces
Mix all together and place in 8 x 8 inch baking dish. Preheat oven to 350 degrees.
Bake for 30 minutes
Serve with hot rolls, a spinach salad with orange slices dressed with a spoonfuls of Balsamic Vinegar drizzled over the salad
I serve my Hallow Weenies with chopped green onion on top and with a sprinkle of cheddar cheese.

My Favorite Mushroom
As in several posts I have mentioned a beautiful mushroom called 'Lobster Mushroom'. Its a mushroom that is available from late May to end of September growing in the Pacific Northwest states.
To me it is a mushroom that the cost $18.00 a pound is not going to stop me from purchasing. I will miss these tasty morsels when the season ends. Its a heavy thick mushroom, so a pound is only a few pieces but once sliced is a lot of yummy bite fulls for the two folks here! We get two meals out of a pound.
I cook them in a simple manner: sliced, cooked in just butter, pepper, & with a dash of Grey Sea Salt.
We have eaten them stacked high on a spinach salad, as a side dish to a lemon chicken and rice and as a "taco" on a pepper flour shell warmed & with a handful of lettuce with a Ranch dressing. I also have added them to a soup for additional color and flavor.
If you have the opportunities to eat different foods DO IT! I love to try different tasty morsels! But it also needs to have color to excite me when trying new food items. I've tried several different cultural foods and they taste oooooh so good but sometimes lack color so they seem a tad boring. So mix it up when cooking. Add lots of colorful veggies, fruit sliced thin served chilled along side the dinner add so much appeal.
Lobster mushrooms are a bright cheerful color which for the most part when cooked retains its beauty.
Plus the flavor is so like its name: Lobster!
