Hot Dogs & Veggies
Sometimes the simplest meals are the best. My husband often finds me in the kitchen whipping up complicated meals with lots of ingredients just to have William look up after the first bite and say "no thanks Mom". This hot dog and vegetable meal only requires a knife for prep and takes less than 5 minutes to put together - no muss, no fuss!
Equipment:
Scale
Knife
Silicone Candy Mold (Optional)
Ingredients:
Hebrew National Beef Franks
Heavy Cream (36%)
Group A or Group B Vegetable
Coconut Oil
Using the ingredients above, calculate out your recipe in the KetoDietCalculator. I have listed William's exact recipe at the bottom of this post for reference.
Instructions:
In advance, measure and melt the coconut oil, pour it into the silicone mold then place in the freezer. Cut and weigh out your remaining ingredients, adding a few ounces of water to your cream to make milk. Be sure to reference your KetoDietCalculator Tool Kit to determine if your vegetable of choice needs to be weighed before or after cooking. You can also choose to cook the vegetable on the stovetop or in the oven along with the coconut oil. Heat hot dogs and serve with vegetables and coconut "candy" on the side.
Notes:
Instead of making milk you can simply weigh out the cream and whip it for a little end of meal treat! Shop My Favs page for my favorite tools for whipping cream.
