Isotope Dog Supreme

Hungry Hungry Homer!! I was watching old episodes of the Simpsons and I felt the need to try these out!!! I made them for my oldest son's 17th Birthday last month and it was a hit with all of his friends so I wanted to whip them up again and put them on here.

1/4 cup red bell pepper, diced
1/4 cup cilantro, chopped
1/4 cup sweet onion, diced
1/4 cup rice vinegar
1/4 cup lemon juice
salt and pepper to taste

Mango-Lime Salsa

4 oz mango, diced
2 oz red onion, diced
1/2 jalapeño pepper, seeds and membranes removed, diced fine
3 Tbsp cilantro, chopped

1/3 cup red bell pepper, diced
1 splash rice vinegar
Juice and Zest from one small lime

salt and pepper to taste

Mesquite  Onions:

1 sweet onion, sliced

1 tsp olive or canola oil

Mesquite Wood Chips

Jalapeño Relish:

Combine all ingredients well. Season to taste and allow to mingle in the fridge for at least an hour or two, longer if possible.

Mango Salsa:

Combine all ingredients, season to taste.  Allow to mingle 15 minutes.

Mesquite Onions:

Slice Onions and put into a foil packet, toss with oil. Loosely close and then poke holes in it with a fork.

Put in a smoker on 275 or on a charcoal grill, with mesquite chips.

Cook them until they are soft and smokey, turning them a few times and replenishing the chips for more smoke if needed.

* if you want to do these without a smoker or grill, you can soften them on the stove top with a little oil, then add mesquite liquid smoke to taste and cook a little longer until they are a nice brown color.

According to the show the proper way to serve them in in thirds....but that is just NOT right!

Place your cooked dog in a bun, relish down one side, salsa down the other and onions in the middle!

Not authentic to the recipe but I also put some sliced avocado on mine!

Chocolate Raspberry Angel Food Cake. With Orange and Mint variations

I made this one with Orange Chocolate for my 15 year old's birthday last week and it was such a HUGE hit I decided to make it again. When I went to the store I saw Raspberry Chocolate and I had to give that a whirl too......

12 jumbo egg whites(or 15 large)
2 t cream of tartar
1 1/2 c sugar divided
2 t vanilla
2/3 c sifted flour
1/3 c baking cocoa powder
1/4 t salt

*2-3.5 oz bars Raspberry Chocolate, divided use

*Fresh Raspberries

* you can sub Orange Chocolate and Orange Slices for another delicious treat, add in the zest of a medium orange with the vanilla too!

*2/9/2022. I did one with mint chocolate today !! I used  7.6 oz bag of dark chocolate and mint swirl dove promises....4 oz shredded in the cake( couldn't find a mint chocolate bar) and a tsp of peppermint extract...I melted the rest of the dove and drizzled it over the top.....then added mint fudge baking chips and mint leaves as garnish....photo at the bottom 

Separate your eggs while they are cold but allow them to come to room temp before whipping.

Grate 4 oz of the chocolate on the large holes of a grater, set aside.

Beat egg whites with cream of tartar at high speed until soft peaks form. Slowly add 3/4 c sugar, beating until sugar is dissolved and whites are glossy and stand in stiff peaks. Beat in flavoring

Sift flour, sugar, cocoa powder and salt together then gently fold into egg whites 1/2 c at a time, then fold in the 4 oz grated chocolate.

Pour into un-greased tube pan and cut with butter knife to remove air bubbles.

Bake in preheated 350 oven for 40-45 minutes, until it springs back when lightly touched.

 Invert entire pan(I put a bottle in the hole of the center tube and stand it on that) and cool completely.

Remove from the pan onto a plate.

Grate 1 oz of the remaining chocolate and set aside.

Over a double boiler (or in 20 second bursts in a microwave) melt the remaining 2 oz of chocolate with 1 tsp coconut oil.

Decorate the cake with fresh raspberries, drizzle melted chocolate over the top, then sprinkle with the grated chocolate!

Slice and ENJOY!!!!
