Steamed Hot Dogs and Buns w/ Fat Free Pringle's

Dinner Tonight: Steamed Hot Dogs and Buns w/ Fat Free Pringle's








It's a beautiful day in the neighborhood! Sunny and a high of around 51 degrees. With the last few days of sun and warmer temps we can actually see most of the lawns instead of piles of snow. I had been wanting to try the Jennie - O Turkey Franks but could not find them sold anywhere until I was on-line and seen that Target sells them. I had never shopped at Target before and after this morning I may not again! I had read some not so kind reviews of Target as from people who are handicapped, but they are the only ones in this area that sells the Jennie - O Turkey Franks so I thought I would give them a try.







They opened at 8:00, so I have learned through the years if you have to rely on a stores electric carts you go early so you can use one that's fully charged. I was the third person in as the doors opened and very disappointed right off seeing they only had 3 electric carts for the entire store, that was in sight at least. Then I noticed all 3 carts were unplugged which meant that they had set there all night without being recharged. I checked all 3 carts and all were near dead but I tried one anyway. I got about halfway to the grocery dept. and the cart died. After several minutes I got a clerks attention and he got me a second cart. They were still stocking and some of the aisles were blocked with boxes and pallets but I was finally able to grab a couple of packages of the Jenn O Turkey Franks. I wanted to look around but the cart was fading fast so I headed to check out line. Didn't make it though as the 2nd cart passed away, they brought me a third cart! I was able to make it through the line and to my car before that one had the same fate as the other 2. If I go back to Target it will be for the Franks and nothing else! Needless to say if you have to rely on electric carts you might want to avoid Target and Whole Foods who don't even supply electric carts, at least the Whole Foods here in West Chester. Sorry for the rant, on with the menu! I prepared Steamed Hot Dogs and Buns w/ Fat Free Pringle's.








I'm finally getting a chance to try the Jennie - O Turkey Franks, and I'm glad I did! Nice size Turkey Franks, and steamed up plump and a whole lot of flavor! Got to give these a high rating on the Dog Scale for sure. I usually boil or grill Franks or Hot Dogs but last week I had purchased a steamer and had chance to give it a try today. It worked to perfection, good purchase. As I said the Franks came out nice and plump with lots of flavor, these will make some fantastic Chili Dogs. Served them on a Aunt Millie's Reduced Calorie Hot Dog Bun and topped them with French's Yellow Mustard. Served with a side of Pringle's Fat Free Potato Chips. For dessert/snack later a 100 Calorie Mini Bag of Jolly Time Pop Corn.
