This is what I had for lunch today … pigs in a blanket, but
a healthier alternative to the decadent dish. I had seen quite a few posts on Instagram
showcasing these and after picking up some crescent rolls at the market I let
my boyfriend know I was going to make these for lunch and he was intrigued because
he said he hadn’t had them since he was a kid.
I used regular hot dogs for my boyfriends and used the Hebrew National
97% Fat Free Beef Franks for myself and paired them alongside reduced fat
crescent rolls.
I opened the crescent rolls (trying not to jump as it
popped) and wrapped each hot dog up into the center of the roll and placed onto
a Pam spritzed baking sheet. I then put
them into a 350 degree oven and baked for 12 minutes until nice and golden. My oven cooks very quickly so I have to avoid
baking anything per directions or they just burn up completely.
I did have a small side salad with my pigs in a blanket just
to have a bit more filling lunch. And of
course who can have pigs in a blanket without mustard and ketchup? Certainly
not this girl!
For two crescent rolls it added up to 5 Points Plus values
and for 2 hot dogs it was 2 PointsPlus values. So a great, 7 Points Plus lunch!
QUESTION:
Do you like pigs in a blanket?
I saw when you posted these on Instagram. I picked up the hot dogs at Trader Joes last night and the crescent rolls today. This is on our meal plan for Wednesday.
ReplyDeleteI hope you enjoy! They were quite yummy! I made a non-healthy version for my BF (using regular hot dogs) and those were a hit ... but I prefer mine the healthier way :)
