Chili dogs! :drool: I should get stuff for that next grocery trip!

yeah! it's a hit around here! :lol: what do you think goes well with chili dogs?

As like a side dish? Maybe coleslaw or potato salad, or... beans?

hmm i was thinking french fries or tator tots... coleslaw sounds yummy though. have you ever made it from scratch?

Those would work too! :yes: Nope~

I'm not a big fan of coleslaw; so no making that from me. :lol:

ah ok. my mom has one time. it was pretty good.

have you ever had avocado grilled cheese?

i haven't ever tried avacodo.

:gonk: NEVER TRIED IT!?!?!?!?! hummy march your booty to the store and get one! right now! :illgetu: make sure it's kinda soft though. if they are hard then you have to wait til they get soft. i just cut them in half, sprinkle some salt on it and chow down! :drool:

Hmm, I've never tried that. P: I've had avocado in sushi and burgers and I like that. I don't like guacamole. XDD

I love avocado in every form..lol I really like it in sushi though like in a dancing dragon roll or a bbq eel roll... so good :drool:

what!?!?! good greif! you like avocado but not guac... :no: silly iku!

:) I eat them raw with salt on burgers and in sushi as a dip any way I can think of. >.< I am a foodie I just love good food in all honestly. :)

maybe i'll get a subway sub and ask for one piece to try it.
:sweat:
what does it taste like.

@Lon: :rofl: There's just something about guacamole I don't like!

that sounds good hummy! hmmm i can really describe it.. i'd say nutty but not really?

Iku- the color? the texture?

The flavor. :lol: I think some of the texture too.

I love guacamole, but it's hard to get it good. It's good if I make it from scratch, but only the very day I make it. After that first day it's not so good.

Tostitos had a really good guacamole dip, but now I can never find it...

Ooooh, I need to give you my mom's cole slaw recipe! It's nothing like most cole slaws which are, frankly, gross. It's not sweet at all, she doesn't put in sugar like most people. She puts dill in it, and of course vinegar, and it's just so refreshing. :drool:

Give to me and I try~ ;D

So I was craving something kind of cold (it's so hot here!) and beans. So I looked up some bean salad recipes and used them to sort of free form a bean salad recipe. It came out so good! I just drained a can each of white beans, black beans and corn (I would have used chickpeas too, but we're out :cry:), and partially drained a can of diced tomato. I combined those all in a big bowl with a splash of vinegar and olive oil, cumin, cilantro, lemon pepper, minced garlic, and a few other spice mixes I have (though it'd be fine without those) and... epic deliciousness. :drool: I'd recommend that for a good quick summer side dish recipe for you all. :D

Oooh that sounds refreshing! I'll have to try that some day. I'm mega uncreative when it comes to thinking up dishes. :gonk: Trying to break out of that.

I usually have to rope my mom or some other outside source to help when I'm coming up with a dish. I'll get an idea for the flavor and texture, and I'll know a few things I want in it, but then I can't come up with the rest of the recipe. :lol:

i look online a lot for new recipies. Betty Crocker has a great website. =3

I tend to get overwhelmed when I look at big recipe sites like that. But the Betty Crocker one is pretty good. I like that they have a selection of vegetarian recipes that are "normal." Most sites' vegetarian recipes are these crazy, pretentious things that... just no one eats like that. :lol:

Thank you all for keeping my thread going.
Sorry real life is keeping me away from doing most of my favorite things right now & keeping me away from most of my favorite websites.
