It’s summer time and that means grills fired up and hot dogs a burnin’! Today for lunch my husband and I were in the mood for such the summer classic of some hot dogs and chips.
I wanted to take the dog to a slightly healthier level – I added some baby spinach. That’s right baby spinach leaves. It wasn’t that bad, actually it was pretty good. I think next time I”m going to ditch the bun and go for larger leaves and perhaps a Tofu dog or at least a Turkey dog.
**please excuse as a talk with my mouth full!!!**

I have to agree wit Leah, spinach is wonderful.
