Here are a couple of recipes that are easy to fix when the kids are home from school on winter break.

"We used to fix these when our three children were young," says Maurice J. Paulk of Wood River of these Bacon-Wrapped Dogs.

Bacon-Wrapped Dogs

Weiners

1 slice of bacon per wiener

Cheddar cheese

Fry the bacon just enough so that it is partially cooked, not crispy. Slice the wieners half way through, lengthwise. Stuff the cheddar cheese slices into the wieners. With toothpicks to hold, wrap the bacon around the wiener. Bake at 325 degrees F for 10 minutes
