Vegetarian Pigs-in-a-Blanket

Pig out on a vegetarian take on an old favorite. Eating vegetarian meals (even sometimes) isn’t just good for your health, but it’s also good for the environment. It takes a lot of energy to produce the meat that makes it’s way to your table, and even if you make one day a week a meatless day you’re doing something good for yourself and the environment. 

I will warn you though precious blog readers, a lot of veggie options do contain a lot of sodium, so you do need to be careful that you’re not eating a ton of it. These vegetarian “pigs-in-a-blanket” are more so a treat or party food recipe than an actual meal suggestion.  

I saw similar posts on pinterest for Halloween, and it sparked my interest. Like my board reads “I want to make that” I really did want to make them! However, I don’t eat red meat or pork, so I thought mhm what can I do instead? VEGGIE DOGS DUH! 

So when I was having some friends over and one of them is a vegetarian I thought it was the perfect chance to give my brilliant idea a go! I never want people to feel left out because of food choices and I also secretly really wanted to see if these would work.

Ingredients:

One package of veggie dogs
One package of crescent rolls (low fat)
Cheese slices (optional)
Dipping sauce of choice (I like mustard)

Directions:

Preheat oven 350 degrees
Cut veggie hotdogs in half
Wrap (cheese if you want it), and the crescent roll around the veggie hot dog, and place on a cookie sheet (lined with parchment paper) fold side down.

 Bake 10-15 minutes or until golden brown. Do not overcook, as the veggie dogs will become rubbery.
