Hot Dog Sauce

I found this hot dog sauce on pinterest, it seemed to be very popular. It's a copycat recipe from a popular hot dog place in Utah. I loved it but I love all things sweet. It was like a nice bbq sauce. Mr. Lawyer does not love sweet things as much (except for me!) so we experimented with it. It is still delicious with a line of sriracha sauce (or your preferred hot sauce), that way you get a whole sweet and spicy thing going on. The recommended toppings were onions and banana peppers which makes sense to me, again with the sweet and spicy. One of my favorite Wawa hoagies is the honey roasted turkey with creamy horseradish and spicy peppers. I did halve the recipe and it was more that enough for 4 hot dogs. It's definitely a keeper, a nice change up from the standard ketchup and mustard.

1/4 cup honey
1 tsp. cider vinegar
1 tsp. soy sauce
1/2 tsp. onion powder

Notes: it is suggested that you slice the hot dogs in a crisscross pattern to hold more sauce and serve with onions, hot peppers, and pickles.

Yearning for Home Part II

Hoffman Coneys and German-Style Mustard

A trip to Syracuse is never complete without going to Heid's Hot Dogs. But in the tragic event that you cannot make it there, picking up some coneys and mustard from Wegmans is completely acceptable. 

Beanie Weenies!

Or we can be all fancy about it: Gourmet Franks two ways with a side of Grandma's pickles. All American and just in time for some baseball! I started with the hot dogs because we decided to stay in for the game and I wanted to get that stadium feel. Then I needed a side and what goes with hot dogs? Baked Beans! And then I jazzed it up by throwing one of the hot dogs in the baked beans for the childhood favorite: Beanie Weenies!
