In Memory of Summer: Strawberry Summer Flan and Chili Cheese Dogs
When my brother and I were kids, my mom would make us this simple sponge cake topped with fresh strawberries and strawberry jello to set them onto the cake, in the summer. We loved it. Sometimes she'd make sweetened whipped cream to dress it up. I made a very fancy version which I posted here.
However, with the arrival of the cool fall weather, I was struck by nostalgia for the taste of summer which is one of the reasons why I gave this the title above.
Cake, jello, strawberries and whipping cream
Or just the jello and strawberries
Hot dogs aren't just for summer barbecues. Transform regular or jumbo dogs cooked in the oven into chili dogs.
Your younger kids may be full with just the chili dog and a few fries, but throw in some raw broccoli and ranch dip for the teens and adults.
The jumbo dog above was served in the last regular hot dog bun I had but I used a bakery subway bun below.
