OK, too many hot dogs

Leave a comment

Ouch – just because it doesn’t have gluten doesn’t mean your stomach will really appreciate it.

Last 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.  Maybe that wasn’t such a good idea.

Mixing junk food with something particularly healthy might average out to something that isn’t particularly good or bad for you, but right now my stomach is saying it was way too much.

I’ll leave out the details of my discomfort, but suffice it to say I won’t be eating so many hotdogs in a single night again any time soon.

Junk Foodie – Hot Dogs and Asparagus

1 Comment

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.
