For the last few weeks, Wal-mart had some cheap prices on premium hot dogs. Not the one-dollar kind, but the kind that are actually made out of beef and minimal additives. The Oscar Meyer brand was particularly enjoyable, and I’ve only got a few of the Ballpark ones that seemed a bit more “over-processed.”
What I’ve also got though, is a fresh – and even slightly sweet – green bundle of asparagus. On my last trip to the grocery store, I literally spent $6 on meat and $6 on broccoli and asparagus. Since then, its been burgers, hotdogs, brocolli, and of course, the asparagus.
Right now the last two hot dogs are frying on a pan and the asparagus is being lightly steemed over a cup of water.
When they’re done, I’ve got some mild mozorella that will make a perfect complement and hopefully tie the flavors back together.
Just because its junk, doesn’t mean it can’t be good & good for you! Its also, as always, cheap to make and 100% gluten-free.
[...] night I tried a strange combination of hot dogs and asparagus – and it actually tasted pretty good. Maybe that’s why I went back for seconds. [...]
