                <description><![CDATA[<p data-pm-slice="1 1 []"> </p>
<p data-pm-slice="1 1 []"><span style="font-size: 26px;">This morning started out great. I woke up to the gleam of sunlight on my face. Nice!</span></p>
<p> </p>
<p><span style="font-size: 26px;">I was so hungry I could eat everything that passed by, but I went for a Hot Dog. I don’t</span></p>
<p><span style="font-size: 26px;"> normally like Hot Dogs; it’s just not my favorite food. But this wasn’t an ordinary hot dog </span><span style="font-size: 26px;">it was my SLOPPY HOT DOG.</span></p>
<p> </p>
<p><span style="font-size: 26px;">  <img src="https://static.ucraft.net/fs/ucraft/userFiles/slicesandbites/uploaded-media/20210412115101-16238753568071.jpg" alt="" width="696" height="392" data-height="391" data-width="696"></img> </span></p>
<p> </p>
<p><span style="font-size: 26px;">This Sloppy Hot Dog is mouthwatering, ju</span><span style="font-size: 26px;">icy, tasty, and satisfying. For those people who </span><span style="font-size: 26px;">enjoy a good hot dog, this one is for you.</span></p>
<p> </p>
<p><span style="font-size: 26px;"><img src="https://static.ucraft.net/fs/ucraft/userFiles/slicesandbites/uploaded-media/20210412114957.jpg" alt="" width="751" height="423" data-height="422" data-width="751"></img></span></p>
<p> </p>
<p><span style="font-size: 26px;">This is a good recipe to prepare for the men in your life on Father’s Day, Birthdays, games night,</span></p>
<p><span style="font-size: 26px;"> Sports Night, and Super Bowl, or an</span><span style="font-size: 26px;">ytime you feel for it.</span></p>
<p> </p>
<p><span style="font-size: 26px;">I approached this recipe with an adventurous mindset. The secret to this SLOPPY HOT DOG is </span><span style="font-size: 26px;">the Bacon and the Cheddar Cheese.</span></p>
<p> </p>
<p><span style="font-size: 30px;"><strong>How it’s made?</strong></span></p>
<p> </p>
<p><span style="font-size: 26px;">Ingredients:</span></p>
<p> </p>
<p> </p>
<p><span style="font-size: 26px;"><img src="https://static.ucraft.net/fs/ucraft/userFiles/slicesandbites/uploaded-media/20210412113954.jpg" alt="" width="740" height="417" data-height="416" data-width="740"></img></span></p>
<p> </p>
<ul>
<li><span style="font-size: 24px;">Hot Dog Bun/ Bread</span></li>
<li><span style="font-size: 24px;">Schneiders Juicy Jumbo Sausages</span></li>
<li><span style="font-size: 24px;">Schneiders Classic Cut Bacon</span></li>
<li><span style="font-size: 24px;">Double Cheddar Grated Cheese</span></li>
<li><span style="font-size: 24px;">Hellmann's Real Mayonnaise</span></li>
<li><span style="font-size: 24px;">Mustard</span></li>
<li><span style="font-size: 24px;">Ketchup</span></li>
<li><span style="font-size: 24px;">Sweet Green Relish</span></li>
<li><span style="font-size: 24px;">Hot Sauce</span></li>
</ul>
<p> </p>
<p> </p>
<p><span style="font-size: 30px;"><strong><span style="color: var(--p-color); font-family: var(--p-font-family); letter-spacing: var(--p-letter-spacing);">Preparation:</span></strong></span></p>
<p><span style="font-size: 26px; color: var(--p-color); font-family: var(--p-font-family); font-weight: var(--p-font-weight); letter-spacing: var(--p-letter-spacing);">Begin by carefully wrapping the Bacon around the Sausage in a spiral motion</span></p>
<p><span style="font-size: 26px;">Place the wrapped sausage into the oven toaster and toast until golden brown or</span></p>
<p><span style="font-size: 26px;"> (the way you like your bacon) at 450° F.</span></p>
<p> </p>
<p><span style="font-size: 26px;"><img src="https://static.ucraft.net/fs/ucraft/userFiles/slicesandbites/uploaded-media/20210412113436-2.jpg" alt="" width="736" height="424" data-height="389" data-width="675"></img></span></p>
<p> </p>
<p><span style="font-size: 26px;">In the meantime, prepare your Hot Dog Bun. I used my rice cooker to steam my bread; </span></p>
<p><span style="font-size: 26px;">Lather the two halves with Hellmann’s Real Mayonnaise and add your desired amount of </span><span style="font-size: 26px;">Double Cheddar Cheese. This will give you a delicious melted stretchy cheese.</span></p>
<p> </p>
<p><span style="font-size: 26px;"><img src="https://static.ucraft.net/fs/ucraft/userFiles/slicesandbites/uploaded-media/20210616124948.jpg" alt="" width="732" height="1066" data-height="1028" data-width="706"></img></span></p>
<p> </p>
<p><span style="font-size: 26px;">Place the wrapped sausage into the hot dog bun, then add condiments as desire;</span></p>
<p><span style="font-size: 26px;"> Ketchup, Mustard, Sweet Green Relish, and hot sauce of your choice.</span></p>
<p> </p>
<p><span style="font-size: 26px;">                                                                                     <img src="https://static.ucraft.net/fs/ucraft/userFiles/slicesandbites/uploaded-media/20210412115131-2-16238756553055.jpg" alt="" width="562" height="248" data-height="272" data-width="616"></img></span></p>
<p> </p>
<p> </p>
<p style="text-align: center;"><span style="font-size: 26px;">It is Sloppy Messy Good!</span></p>

<p style="margin-top: 0cm;"><span style="font-size: 15.0pt; font-family: 'var(--p-font-family)',serif;">This Cheesecake is light and fluffy. It melts in the mouth and it is super easy to make.

<p data-pm-slice="1 1 []"><span style="font-size: 20px;">Hello world! Well, this is my first ever blog post, and honestly, I have no clue where to begin. So, I will just go with the flow. This post should have been out last week <span style="color: var(--p-color); font-family: var(--p-font-family); font-weight: var(--p-font-weight); letter-spacing: var(--p-letter-spacing);">during the Easter long weekend, but I got distracted with my busy schedule.</span></span></p>

<h2><span style="background-color: transparent; font-size: 30px;">My Passion Discovered</span></h2>
<p data-pm-slice="1 1 []"><span style="font-size: 20px;">Did you all enjoy that Easter weekend like I and my family did? Easter time has always been one of my favorite time of the year- <em>For those of you who came across </em></span><span style="font-size: 20px;"><em>my ABOUT US page on my Slices &amp; Bites website (slicesandbites.ca), you may remember I mentioned my love for cakes and my journey as a Cake Artist was first </em></span><span style="font-size: 20px;"><em>discovered during this Holy weekend.</em> I like to go all out during this time, first remembering the crucifixion, burial, and </span><span style="font-size: 20px;">resurrection of Jesus Christ. It’s that time </span></p>
<p data-pm-slice="1 1 []"><span style="font-size: 20px;">I spend with my family being grateful for the sacrifice Jesus made for us all.</span></p>
