(Soy) Pigs in a Crescent Blanket

Pre-vegetarian days, I really liked hot dogs.  Today, I really like Smart Dogs.  They’re a tasty meat-free hot dog alternative that I’ve seen meat eaters enjoy as well.  And if meat eaters can enjoy pigs in a blanket, then so can I.

I’d never bought crescent rolls in a can and to be honest, I was both excited and weirded out by them.  Bread in a can?  That’s a little bizarre.  But a quick, easy, somewhat nutritious weekday dinner? I can always use one of those.  I opted for the store brand rolls because they were half the fat of the name brand and the rolls looked small; I knew I’d eat two.  I didn’t know I’d eat four – but that’s a different story.

I didn’t even know what to do with this spiral of dough.  I unrolled the crescent dough and layed out four triangles.  In two triangles, I rolled soy dogs.  I rolled two crescent rolls alone.

See how small the crescents are?  My dogs are too big.  But with a side of my favorite mustard, it worked.  Of course, I could’ve used a regular hot dog bun to cover my dogs, but the crescent roll was more fun.  I finally discovered a way to make my delicious soy dogs more fun.  I added a side of my favorite baked beans and had a protein-heavy meal!
