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?
