It seems like every cookbook or recipe booklet I pick up has a recipe featuring hot dogs, frankfurters, wieners or what ever you chose to call them. It could just be selective vision at work, I have frugal recipes on my mind lately.
This recipe is from Tried & True Money Saving Meals, 1981, from Creamettes and Borden. Creamettes brand is of course the makers of macaroni, spaghetti and egg noodles. This little booklet even features a section titled Elegant & Inexpensive. Sorry I have a hard time thinking of macaroni as elegant. The Taco Franks comes from the appropriately titled Money-Saving Main Dishes section.
Taco Franks And Mac Bake
1 (7-ounce) package or 2 cups uncooked Creamettes Elbow Macaroni, cooked as package directs and drained

I would never have thought of this combination of ingredients on my own. The older booklets do seem to have a lof or recipes using frankfurters, don't they? Not so much anymore.
It seems like hot dogs have been popular forever! Very appropriate
4th of July leftover recipe! Have a great holiday weekend and thanks for all support on my article :)
Hi Rochelle, I do wear some of my
vintage jewelry, I indeed have a
few favorites, which gives me an
idea for a blog posting for the
future. A lot of my jewelry is in
bins and are tagged/bagged to keep from moisture and heat, so if I am
looking for a certain piece of jewelry, I have quite the job finding 'the one'. I couldn't guess how many pieces of costume jewelry I own. All I know is that I enjoy sharing it, with others who love it too.... By the way I love that
raspberry color of that necklace, too! Jewelgirl
HI Rochelle..Hope you had a nice
4th(:) Hotdogs are always a good way to go (:) hehe
Love your banner up top.. come by sometime~~
hugs Patty
