BONNIE CELEBRATES THE 4TH WITH VEGETARIAN CORN DOGS!

Happy 4th of July everyone!

What could be more American than a corn dog? Well, we vegetarians can still enjoy them by using faux (that’s a fancy way of saying, ‘fake’) hot dogs. I make them a little healthier by baking, rather than deep frying them.

They’re absolutely delicious – even my carnivorous husband loves them! I’ve made an instructional video you can watch by clicking CORN DOGS.

FYI, not all imitation meats are created equal. Some are downright disgusting. But some are fabulous – so if you don’t like one brand, try another. My favorite fake hot dog comes in a can, so they’re moist. They’re called Linketts (see photo). And, vegans – eat away!

Have a safe 4th, and remember to keep your pets inside.

I’ve been cooking from scratch ever since I can remember. Frugal by nature (okay – cheap!), I just can’t see buying pre-made food when it’s so easy to make it yourself. Plus, when you prepare your own food, you know what’s in it. Since I’m also skeptical by nature (okay – a bit paranoid!), I worry what germs, bugs, and unpronounceable ingredients my family and I are eating. As an actress, I decided to merge my love of cooking with my love of being in front of the camera, creating an online show called VEGETARIAN COOKING FOR CARNIVORES ( vegcookingforcarnivores.com) – a show for people who like meat but want to eat vegetarian. The next step was blogging (vegcookingforcarnivoresblog.com), followed by tweeting (@vegcooking4carn). Geez – where does it end? I don’t preach vegetarianism – I’m just there for those of you who want good vegetarian food (which also includes desserts, by the way).
