I received a package of hot dogs from a friend who was moving (why couldn’t my friends have pantries like this girl so that I could benefit from their move with jars of cool nut butters, unusual grains, or fun jams? … nope, I got hot dogs).
(Not so surprising) Fact about me. I. Hate. Hot Dogs. Hate them. The only thing I like about them are the relish and mustard.
What does that mean? J got two hot dog containing dinners in one week. 
The first was corn dogs. Yup friends, I got my Paula Deen on and deep-fried the crap out of those puppies.
I used Alton Brown’s recipe for the batter and they turned out great – just like at the fair! (or so J said).  I could practically smell hear the carnies!
Next I used Angela’s recipe for Maple Baked Beans and added chopped hot dogs to turn it into Franks and Beans. I did feel slightly guilty for turning a vegan dish, made by a vegan chef, for a vegan audience into a processed meat fiasco. I got over it, though, and J ate it all up.
I still have two hot dogs left. I might just toss them for the sake of J’s arteries … but I might get creative and try something new.
Any ideas?

bahaha that paula deen picture is PRICELESS!! 😀
I don’t really like hotdogs either, so sadly I can’t be of much help…although copious amounts of mutard never hurt anyone heehee 😉
oh, i have to disagree. copious amounts of mustard have hurt me … with the absurd amount of yellow stains i have on my clothes! mustard + chopsticks = yellow drips!

ew, hot dogs. I’m the same – only like the pickles, mustard and relish…. shit on a stick is what I call hot dogs. Ha.
oh my, you and i are too alike! i remember eating hot dog buns, mustard, and relish when i was little! :) hot dogs are more like gristle, snout, and tail on a stick! 😉

Alton’s recipes never disappoint! I could try it with my veggie dogs! 🙂
I have the hardest time throwing out anything, especially food, but I give you permission to save his arteries haha.
haha, my conscious and j thanks you … frankly, i think he was getting tired of hot dogs! 🙂

beanie weenies!!! I am such a kiddie at heart here. I ‘d love this recipe with a side of peas and tator tots!
haha, tator tots! i remember those from school lunches … can’t say i miss them! 🙂

I haven’t had a hot dog in years. Maybe I should try a soy version to see how I like it, then I could give you some tips! Actually a corndog sounds really good! I used to love hot dogs with mac and cheese when I was little – but that’s another artery bomb!
i hate soy dogs (but since i hate hot dogs, that’s probably a good testament to the fact they taste like the real thing)! ah, mac and cheese, another timeless childhood favorite! 🙂

Im actually drooling over both those meals LOL The corndogs look amazing!!
haha, you and j can definitely have your fair share of those, then! but stay away from my sardines! 🙂 lucky for me, no one drools over the food i like … i don’t have to share!
