Hot Dog Etiquette

If your 4th of July Cookout is not serving Hot Dogs then leave, find some place that is having them. Honestly, what sort of holiday are you gonna have without the all American Dog.

‘Grilled’ Peanut Butter & Pickle Sandwich

I finally did it, I made myself a Peanut Butter & Pickle Sandwich. I had read about this on Jenn’s blog Jenn Cooks and while it kind of grossed me out, it also intrigued me a bit. I wondered, how would a sandwich of this nature taste. And I knew that if I made it I would grill it. For some reason having a crispy grilled sandwich of Peanut Butter & Pickles made sense. So I had Allison pick up my favorite Chunky Peanut Butter (It is a major brand that I love, Jif (no I was not paid to say that)). I also had some pickles from a previous Pulled Pork dinner that I wanted to use.

I got the ingredients ready…

I did not know what to expect but I have to say… the chunky peanut butter and the pickles and the fact that the sandwich was grilled made a perfect taste sensation. It was delicious!
