Organic Franks and Sauerkraut

It has been such a long time since I have eaten "hot dogs" because they are so filled with nitrates and chemicals they were making me feel sick to my stomach after I ate one -- although as a kid I used to enjoy them a lot.

It was with a lot of sadness that I stopped eating them -- my stomach just wouldn't cooperate!

So, when I heard that one of our local farmers (Dines Farm) had been rated #1 hot dog in the state for his organic franks, I just HAD to try them! One day this summer, Dines Farm cooked some up at his stand, and served little chunks to anyone who wanted to try them.

Wow! What a delicious treat they were!

Full of "hot dog" taste and flavor, but without ANY of the "afterbite" you get from all the chemical you usually find in commercial hot dogs.

I bought a package to try later on (frozen) -- and enjoyed them with pan-fried with Eden organic sauerkraut.

I can't even tell you how delicious that was! And not even a hint of indigestion afterwards (I was wondering about that - and relieved to discover how well it digested.)

So now that I know how to enjoy some of my "old favorites" again -- I need to think up new recipes.

Oh. And since my partner hates the smell of sauerkraut, figure out how to sneak them in for lunch when I'm by myself instead. . .

Oh. That little volunteer cherry tomator plant? Still going strong. Amazing.

Enjoy your weekend!

Yours for extraordinary dining -- for everyone,

Nancy
