Bunless Veggie Chili Dog

Not one of my best meals, but I get a craving for this one every now and then. Cook up your favorite veggie dog/s and top with your fav veggie chili, onion and mustard. Mmmmmmmmmm.

I did away with a bun a long time ago. As a single woman, there's no way I can go through an entire package of hot dogs buns before they go bad. And, I hate wasting food. So, I just make it without the bread. Less carbs that way. :)

I'm spending some time with my BF today, which means we'll probably go out to eat for dinner. I plan to take my camera along so tune in tomorrow for an update on my dining-out experience!

Using leftovers before they go bad...

After such a well-thought out dinner last night, I discovered I had some leftover food in my fridge that was going to go bad if I didn't use it.

So, I sauteed some onion, green pepper and mushroom till soft. Added some seasoning and sunflower seeds. Finally, some rice and black beans leftover from the wonderful taco ring recipe yesterday. Topped it all off with a bit of soy cheese and mmmm. Yum! Easy and quick dinner for one! :)

This post is delayed. I actually made this dish on Thursday, but haven't posted it until now. Mainly because it's nothing spectacular and I was in no hurry to post it. :-/ It's basically just several different leftovers joined together, so they wouldn't waste away in my fridge. I used some leftover cooked barley and a few leftover uncooked veggie dogs and fried them up with some frozen peppers and onions... seasoned with lemon pepper and fresh thyme. Not my best dinner, but it filled my belly and I didn't waste food. :)
