Homemade Dog Foods

I need a ton of ideas…
I already have:
manhunt, ghosts in the graveyard, human knot, couch(homemade game) psychiatrist, truth or dare, and scavenger hunt.

Cheese puffs, hot dogs, s’mores, soda, candy, chips, grapes, hot cocoa

Balloons, streamers, music

goodie bags, blankets and extra jackets (just in case), fire pit, table, outdoor couches and a bench, trampoline, soccer balls, chalk, bubbles, garbage bags, swing, movies, cookies, etc.

It’s in early October, birthday party for me, turning 13, only girls.

Any other ideas of fun things to do, food, decorations, games, activities, ANYTHING, please tell me. Thanks so much!
All my friends are crazy. they should love the trampoline. Plus it’s a sleepover.
Yes yes, cake.

Because apparently if it is for "family," it is allowed to be mostly salt, and combining three Kraft Foods products means you are "cooking."

Earlier this week somebody suggested "garbage meals," "basically a casserole of anything that can be edible together," and offered a suggested one that was a couple of cans mixed with a can of cream of mushroom soup, that made a sort of…soup-mess. Today somebody posted a recipe for "hot dogs in homemade sauce" which involved simmering hot dogs in ketchup with added sugar.

EW

For better or worse this stuff makes me laugh like crazy. Here is my all-time favourite in this genre:

Can you better it?
Apparently that’s a known variant called "American goulash." I had no idea! My mother made a slop with macaroni, tinned tomatoes, and broccoli…

I have been playing around with 2 different menu’s for my son’s 5th Birthday in October (I know a ways off but I am a big time planner and like to plan ahead of course I wont buy the food until the week of)

but I am having the party October 11th and here is the 1st menu

Hot Dogs (onions, ketchup, mustard, relish, chili etc.)
Homemade Mac n’ Cheese
Veggie Tray
Fruit Tray
Potatoe Chips & Dip
Chili (Crackers & Cheese etc..)
Baked Beans

Second Menu
Sloppy Joes
Mac N Cheese
Baked Beans
Fruit Tray
Veggie Tray
Possibly a Cheese Plate

The last 3 Years we have had Sloppy Joes which have went over good but I am not sure if I want to mix it up a bit!
Let me know what you think or if you have another idea!

Of course there will be Cake and Ice Cream!
I am talking regular chili with beans, meat and onions.. it would have to cool for the kiddo’s to eat it if they want chili.. I will be having it in my garage and cooking the hotdogs in a crock pot..

My daughters third birthday is tomorrow and it’s a "SpongeBob Squarepants" theme. I’m labeling all the food as something SpongeBob might say (Hamburgers and hot dogs are Krabby Patties and Chum Dogs).I’m serving homemade mac n cheese as a side-what could I call it to keep with the theme?
Thanks everyone! I actually did buy the Kraft Spongebob mac n cheese but I’m using my own recipe for the cheese sauce! The names are great, thanks for your time!

That is in EVERYTHING?? I know I didn’t until I moved back home and started cooking for my mom again. She has an ear problem that is aggravated by sodium, so pretty much everything is homemade/cooked, low/no added salt, and forget sandwich meats and hot dogs and ANYTHING boxed or frozen. One serving is like a Daily Recommended Amount or MORE!

I was just wondering if other parents were aware of the amount of salt in normal every day foods…..

And if you cut back on it, how do you do that?

A lot of food will be homemade, mixed with seafood, the style for decor and music, jazz (swing jazz, blues, all different types of jazz) jazz paintings on walls, all from different eras.

We are also going to have a "chicago style" section serving chicago pizza, hot dogs/polish dogs, and other chicago style food" althought we will not be located in Chicago (I’m a Chicago native)

im so confused, just need some suggestions thanks!

Yesterday we had lots of chicken and hot dogs and hamburgers on the grill. Homemade ice cream and corn and baked beans also. My sister’s b/f made the best/tastiest part: cinnamon chicken Chili! It was unbelievably good! I never thought about putting chicken or cinnamon in chilli. I loved it! What did you eat?
