Yep…they’re good stuff, but let’s face it, they’ve been given a bad rap. I remember reading that they’re filled with all kinds of yucky stuff that isn’t good for us so I try not to eat them very often. But when we do eat them, we buy high quality dogs that are free of hormones, antibiotics, and preservatives. Maybe they’re still not the healthiest thing for us to eat, but hey…a hot dog every now and again is fine for us.

Anyway, if you enjoy hot dogs from time to time too, try making homemade hot dog buns to go with them the next time you have them.

They’re really easy to make, taste fabulous, and they don’t take very long either.

You can find the recipe at One Frugal Food/Alisa Cooks. The recipe is for hamburger buns, and I use this recipe when we have burgers, but if you want hot dog buns, just shape them like hot dog buns before baking them and there ya go!

By the way, I did try making my own vegan hot dogs

several months ago, and while I loved how they tasted, I didn’t care for the texture.

Anyway, just one final thing I wanted to mention about hot dogs. My favorite way to eat them is roasting them over a bonfire. I remember when I was a kid we used to do that cookouts my folks would have, and we’d also do that when we were camping.

Roasted hot dogs and marshmallows over a bonfire…*sigh*…I think that was like my favorite thing in the world when I was a kid. I sure did love burning my marshmallows on the outside and have them be all ooey gooey, and soft on the outside. Yum, yum, yum!!!

What about you? Did you roast marshmallows and hot dogs on a stick over a bonfire when you were  a kid?
