Arepa Dogs

Arepa Dogs

It’s opening day in my neighborhood and I couldn’t be more excited! This is the time of the year when Fenway comes alive! I made these arepa dogs on monday for the season opener in Baltimore, and it felt great to have a few during the game. I didn’t even make the connection at first, but this hot dog is a perfect dish for baseball season considering the large amount of South American players in the MLB. Arepas are huge in Venezuela, and we have several Venezuelan players on the Red Sox, like starting pitcher Felix Dubront, reliever Edward Mujich, and infielder Jonathan Herrera. These arepa dogs are a fun twist on corn dogs that are easy to make at home and are clean to eat with your hands.

Pop Tart Cake

Pop Tart Cake

When I originally asked my sister what she wanted me to make for the week of easy college recipes, she replied with 2 words: pop tarts. Well I wasn’t going to actually make pop tarts, because not only has it been done to absolute death by food bloggers, but it’s also not exactly easy, and frankly isn’t even worth the effort. I instead made this cool pop tart stuffed cake that is super easy to do and a fun and unique cake to serve at a party. I forgot how much college kids love pop tarts and I was no different when I was there. I used Cherry pop tarts cause it is her favorite, but it would be fun to do this cake with different flavor combos or using my favorite pop tart flavor: S’mores.
