Kids Cuisine

The theme on Kids Cuisine seems to be focusing on back-to-school lunches and foodie things. So, here’s one more.

Do your kids like hot dogs? I bet they do. Heck, I’m 42 years old and I get a craving for a frank with mustard every now and then. I can only guess you’re saying, “Hot dogs are unhealthy,” “Hot dogs are made from the ‘leftover parts’,” “Hot dogs are fattening.” Well, I guess I […]
