Just smash that upvote and resteem button, leave a tasty comment and try to save your contender. Who is currently in the corner of the arena in the fetal position. Hey I’m just giving you a fair warning before I unleash these dogs...

Who wants to eat just plain old hotdogs every time it’s on the menu? Not this guy!! Ya, you could roll with the chili dogs but you know what they say about beans?? Oh you don’t!? Well let me share a little tune with ya, is that ok? Why am I even asking, you have no other choice. Muahahaha.

Alright now shall we get back to this Food Fight thing? Instead of worrying about the aftermath of eating too many beans. Perfect!! Moving on!!

So I caught wind (no pun intended) of this cool way to make hotdogs from a guy at work. He actually showed me a video and I just had to give these dogs a go!! The first obstacle was to find jalapeños big enough in diameter to be able to fit around the hotdogs.

Once I found a good group of jalapeños at the store, it was time to start cuttin’ and stuffin! First cut both the ends off, making sure the narrow end of the jalapeño is big enough to stuff a hotdog inside once it is hallowed out.

Now take your index finger and vigorously rub on of your eyes prior to washing your hands. Ok, now doesn’t that just feel nice. If you were sleepy before you are definitely awake now.

Next we move on to prepping the dogs. Simply slice them long ways and lay a thin layer of cheese in between the 2 halves. I did a few with cheddar cheese and a few with cream cheese. Just to give some variety and see which ones were the family favorite. Then after putting the two halves together it’s time to stuff the... stuffed hotdog into the hollowed out jalapeño. If it doesn’t quite fit take a sharp knife and trim the inside a little bit. It’s a tight fit but it will work.

Now lets utilize those ends of the jalapeños to make a tasty little dip to snack on. Now I don’t have any specific recipe for this I literally just started throwing stuff together. I have made this cream cheese, ham and chive dip before but what about adding some jalapeños. That should kick things up a bit!!

2 blocks of cream cheese are are placed in a bowl and a good amount of diced jalapeños tossed in along with a some sour cream to thin things out a bit.

Now chop up some deli ham, slice up few scallions, and dust off that mixer. wait don’t do that, the dust adds just the right touch to enhance the flavor... Don’t question... just trust. 😉😉

Moving on to the next item up for bid.... hold it!! We aren’t on the Price-is-Right here, Dang! We are Food Fightin’ for the love of Food!! Gee Wizz. How about next item to go on the grill? That is what I am drooling about. C’MON!!

Hey Hive account@plantstoplanks and Hive account@puravidaville... get you some of this actions right here!! Yep, that is right grilled zucchini on the Green Mountain pellet grill. Just sprinkle with sea salt and coarse ground pepper and BAM Tender, yet crisp, with a little hint of smoke. Now that is zucchini done right..

Now I did run into a small issue. Since I didn’t cover the whole hotdog with the jalapeño, I did loose some cheese out the side. Plus, check out the curve on the ends of those dogs... they opened right up and I lost some precious cheese!!

Wow!! That was weird?!?? With a side of baked beans and... WHOA!! I almost forgot the fruit!! How about a nice bowl of watermelon and cantaloupe? Doesn’t that sound refreshing on a summer evening?

One of each kind of hotdog, baked beans, a good helping of the cream cheese dip with some wheat thins, and a good bowl of fruit... plus a 16oz Natural light Naturdays. Hey don’t be judgin’ me and my pink can!! I’m telling you, this was a lot of food. It was so delicious I absolutely had to finish it!!
