Steps:
- Prepare your child's lunch box by packing the hot dog bun, ketchup, mustard and Cheddar cheese.
- Preheat your child's insulated beverage container by filling with boiling water. Let stand for 15 to 20 minutes. I put the kettle on when I get up and let it heat while the kids get ready for school. Right before they leave, dump out that water and replace with more boiling water. The preheating keeps it hot for a longer time. Place a hot dog into the water and close the lid.
- When your child is ready for lunch, they can take the hot hot dog out of the container and place it on the bun. Top with ketchup, mustard and cheese to make a hot lunch from home.

OLD FASHIONED LUNCHEONETTE HOT DOG
As a child in the 60's and 70's, my Mom would treat us to a hot dog at the local department store back in the day when they had a Luncheteria. She watched the simple way they made them so we could enjoy them at home. They became a staple for our family as a Saturday night dinner. I know some friends of mine raised their eyebrows at the buttering of a bun, but that's how the luncheonette ladies made them and they tasted so good and my friends agreed. I just used the serving number of 8 to account for 4 servings of two hot dogs apiece, as you can't just have one! Always try to use the best quality hot dogs as you can.

Steps:
- Heat oil in a non-stick pan to medium heat.
- Prepare fresh buns by opening and buttering them.
- Add sliced or chopped onions to fry. When browned, remove onions to keep warm, or keep them in the pan pushed to the side.
- Slice hot dogs down the middle but not all the way through (keep it connected). You want to pry them open to have a double wide face down hot dog.
- Lay them flat, cut side down in the seasoned pan and cook until brown, Flip to the other side and brown.
- When browned to your liking, remove from pan. Keep pan on medium heat.
- Put buttered buns face down in the hot pan to toast them (I press them down a couple of times so butter and pan connect). When nice and brown, remove them.
- Assemble the hot dog and sauteed onions into the bun.
- Dress with mustard and ketchup and anything else your heart desires! Pour a nice, ice cold Coke with a straw, add some krinkle fries, and enjoy a trip back in time!

HOT HOT DOGS
These hot dogs are especially for the grill. This recipe totally knocks the "boring" out of everyday franks. Very unique and spicy. This recipe is a variation of Steven Raichlen's "Hot" Dogs recipe, in his book: "How to Grill" - NOTE: You will need butcher's string for tying.

Steps:
- Slit hotdogs lengthwise and open to a "V".
- Insert about half a cheese slice and about 4 jalapeno slices into the slit of each hot dog.
- Tie hot dogs crosswise in 2 or 3 places with butcher's string to hold in the filling.
- Set up grill for direct grilling on hot coals.
- When coals are ready, place hot dogs on the grill, parallel to bars on the grate. Cook until browned on bottom, then roll the dogs slightly to brown both sides of the filled "V".
- Cook for 8 to 10 minutes.
- Transfer to a serving plate. Snip and remove strings before serving.
- Toast buns on grill for extra eye-appeal.
