I want to introduce you to a new reviewer, one of my neighbors Orshi, and I believe she brings a unique perspective and I’m happy to have her on my team. If you remember right before Easter she shared her Egg Blowing Tips and I found it fascinating. For her first review she received MorningStar Farms Veggie Corn Dogs.
This is her MorningStar Farms Veggie Dog review:
We do not eat much processed food in our house mainly because I like to know exactly what I serve to my family. I love to cook and having children with allergies requires me to monitor what they put in their little mouths. But we love hot dogs! They are a ‘delicacy’ that all three children enjoy. And when I say ‘delicacy’ it is because we don’t get to eat them often in our house. My primary dislike against hot-dogs is that being a processed meat product, they always have Nitrites in them – which is something that I cut from our diet a while ago. Not to mention that they are loaded with fat. So I was really excited to try the MorningStar Farms Veggie Corn Dogs – a healthier and Nitrite free version of the meat based hot dogs.
Some fun facts about these corn dogs:
· They have 75% less fat than the leading beef corn dogs
· One serving has only 150 calories
· They are fun to eat served with your favorite sauce
· Perfect meal for vegetarians
The first serving I made for my children for lunch was warmed in the microwave. They were done in a snap and my son LOVED it. I think he found the concept of having lunch on a stick very cool and he gobbled it up and asked for a second one. I also made one for myself and while I found it really delicious by flavor, the texture did not fully appeal to me. The batter got a bit rubbery in the microwave. So the second time I warmed the corn dogs in the oven according to the directions on the package. They were much more delicious this way as the corn batter warmed through and got a crunchy bite on it that I would expect from this American classic. These dogs make a perfect lunch or snack served with some fruit or veggies – Nitrite free and low in fat.
I have several vegetarian friends who love this product and since I entertain often, this will also be one of my go-to quick snacks when they drop by.

What I love most about Summertime meals is how they remind me of when I was a kid and you didn’t have to cook up outrageous meals. If the family wanted corn dogs or hamburgers, everyone would pitch in to cook them. Then we would all go outside and eat. We still like to eat ice cream outside.
More fresh fruits and vegetables
