Pigs in a Blanket.

It is no secret that pigs in a blanket are delicious, but they usually aren't the smartest snack when it come down to calories. However, its not hard to think of ways to make them healthier. That being said, I'm all about doing things the easy way. Skinnny mom had the right idea. Sure I could have found a recipe to make my own dough, but why not just grab the can of reduced fat crescent rolls instead?

What you will need...

• Cooking spray


• 8 turkey dogs


• 1 can Pilsbury Reduced Fat Crescent Rolls refrigerated dough


• Reduced fat Colby-Jack cheese (or whatever type of cheese tickles your pickle)

How to make them...

1. Preheat oven to 375 degrees.


2. Lightly spray a baking sheet with cooking spray.


3. Cut each hot dog into four pieces.


4. Section off cheese slices to make six equal parts.


5. Take one of the eight triangle pieces of dough and stretch it [or roll it] out a bit. Then cut this piece of dough into four long, narrow triangles. Repeat for each of the remaining seven triangle sections of dough.


6. Roll one hot dog and one piece of cheese up in each triangle until the pig is snug in its blanket.


7. Place each pig onto a baking sheet.


8. Bake for 12 minutes or until dough is golden brown.

Obviously this isn't rocket science, its super easy. But making these simple substations saves a ton of calories. One serving of this tasty snack (4 pigs in a blanket) is only 160 calories and about 6.5g fat.



The best part is that you can't even tell you're eating fake hotdogs. Haha :) K, byeeeee.
