The Medical Medium popped up in my inbox today, with a meat free recipe and as I start steering myself back towards a vegan lifestyle, I thought this might be fun to try.
So you may be eating Grass Fed Hot Dogs, which you can find at Sprouts, or going totally crazy and reinventing America with Carrot Hot Dogs!
It’s actually interesting, although I don’t think I would do a white bread bun.
But consider this: you’ve got the salt from the amino acid’s, the sweet from maple syrup, the tangy from mustard, the smoky from smoked paprika and jalapeño peppers.
I’m thinking you top anything with Ketchup and it’s probably OK. and you do know that True Made from Sprouts is the brand that has no sugar in it right?
Looking at the long jalapeño pepper. I’m also thinking that stuffing a cooked carrot with cinnamon and maple syrup, maybe making it a puree, might be fun. I do like the idea of a “pool” of mustard, it being a holiday and all!
Since I’m not having grass fed beef, then this looks like a fun alternative.
Let me know if you try it. Take pictures and we will feature you on this blog!
Enjoy your holiday!
