A Peek @ Food We Eat & Things We Do!
"Weiner Wraps"
Back in April I attempted some weiner wraps and they could have chipped a tooth they were so hard. So I was happy to see a weiner wrap recipe in The Vegan Family Cookbook. The dough is really easy to make, and is actually a "drop biscuit" recipe. I wonder if the book has a typo, because it calls for 3/5 C. Olive Oil ~ none of my measuring cups work with fifths, so I did slightly less than 3/4 and it all worked out fine. Is the 3/5 odd to you? Anyhow, I rolled out the dough, gave some to Liv to roll out too, cut the dough to size, covered the Tofu Pups up, and put them in the oven. Easy.![](http://photos1.blogger.com/blogger/4670/2333/320/DSC04729.jpg)
The dough was light and fluffy, and really perfect! I served the weiner wraps with naturally sweetened applesauce (no high fructose corn syrup), 2 grape eyes, and a celery stick smile ~ and you can see the other smile this meal produced! I really like this new cookbook!

Your daughter is sooo cute.. what a great lunch for a little girl!
My teen boys would love that lunch too.. (of course, they'd eat about 5 times that in one sitting!)
I love your counter tiles..
Presentation is what it's all about. Make healthy food fun and kids will eat it. I bet she cleaned her plate. I would too!
And I also think 3/5 is a typo. Never saw that one before. I would imagine they meant 3/4.
That's a creative little meal there for the little one. Cute idea!
As for the 3/5... weird. I've never heard of that and I probably would have done the same thing you did. Either a typo or did you notice weird measurements on other recipes in the book?
oh my i love it. i love kids food thanks to vegan lunch box.
but weinies...i love wienies...
What a face on your sweetie! Great look to the camera. I love the smiley face on the fruit as well. Great bowls there. So vibrant.
I would say 3/5 is a strange amount to see and wonder as Leslie did if there are other recipes in that book that use fifths...
Fifth of vodka, Fifth of Beethoven maybe.
I keep singing in my head the Oscar Mayer Wiener song. Ugh, I am so glad I don't eat "real" hot dogs... YIKES!!!
Fifth of Beethoven, I like that!
Speaking of the Oscar Mayer song, I just saw a commercial for it the other day (same song, ya know) and I can't get over how they chime in with the mom saying "no additives" all natural and makes kids happy. ALl natural what? That commercial is a big load of #%$^ and it's all colorful and the kids are happy and eating I don't even know what bologna is even made from...
I'm so glad all of us (here) don't eat "real" ones either.
The smile looks sooooo cute!
3/5 is odd
how would you measure that?
weird
looks like it worked anyways
Teddy
cute, cute, cute!
What a happy plate! I'd like to make some of these for myself. :) I have a package of smart dogs in the freezer.
Do you like the tofu pups better than smary dogs?
hi dori! Olivia will ONLY eat tofu pups & can't be fooled (we don't try anymore), and Abi prefers those too, but will eat others. Art & I like Yves best, but aren't as particular as Liv.
Looks like the perfect kid food! I'll have to look for that book.
Thank u ;-) check out that emo boy hair at this blog:
