So, I got a message from a concerned citizen regarding her daughter coming back from college for Thanksgiving and not wanting to eat meat. Yep! You got it! She had a case of the Vegans! What are they teaching these kids in school? (Should be teaching about Izzy Lyon, but that’s another story.) Anyway, her daughter refused to eat anything with meat (or even dairy! Jeez!) so she just sat there eating cranberry sauce. Talk about not being thankful.
So, now we’ve got another round of holidays coming up and this concerned citizen is really worried about her kid not getting any nutrition. She said she barely recognized her because she lost ten pounds (and was wearing black eyeliner, but again, another story to tackle that one!) Anyway, it got me thinking, how does one (the concerned citizen) go about getting her daughter to eat something healthy and it hit me: trickery! So, I went to the store and did a little shopping and came home and made this:
Just
looks like some carrots, right? Guess what? They’re actually hot dogs with the
stems of carrots jammed into them! Look closely and you’ll see. Pretty darned
good if you ask me. Make sure you throw the actual carrots away to hide the
evidence!
Ha! Got her! Now you can cook these bad boys up, cover them in venison chili, wrap them in bacon, what have you. And she’ll never know that she got some nutritious hot doggy goodness in her belly! Of course, my guess is that she’ll feel so good that she’ll demand more of these “carrots” at every meal. Only you’ll know they’re healthy hot dogs!
