Veggie Dogs from 365 Everyday Value (Whole Foods Market)

I spend a lot of time in markets, staring at foods, and exploring new food items. One fine day I came across a package of Veggie Dogs from 365 Everyday Value at Whole Foods Market. I was super excited because not only were they vegan but they were on the cheaper side of $3.99 for 9 links. I think the Veggie Dogs are quite simple and perfect to dress up. You can throw them on the grill, toss them in a bun, and top it off with your favorite ingredients.  OR, you can try this simple on-the-stove recipe that will make you think you are eating at a street fair or a ball game.





Veggie Dogs and Sweet Peppers with Fennel Seeds

Ingredients:
- 2 Tablespoons of Cooking Oil
- 5 Veggie Dogs, sliced
- 6 Mini Sweet Peppers, sliced (or use any type of peppers)
- 2 Tablespoons of Fennel Seeds
- Salt & Pepper (optional)
- Your Favorite Mustard!

Take a large non-stick pan and warm the oil on medium-high heat. Add the peppers. Try to let the peppers sit in place to brown (you will be tempted to keep stirring). Toss in the fennel seeds and the veggie dogs slices. Brown the veggie dog pieces (again, try to minimize the amount of times you stir). Add Salt and Pepper to taste if desired. Finally throw everything in a bowl and drizzle a ton of your favorite mustard on top or throw in a toasted (or not) sub roll.

This serves one large meal, two portioned main dishes, or four portioned side dishes. For one person, use three (or less) veggie dogs instead of five if you want to go easy on the veggie dogs. Never hurts to cook extra peppers! So good with fennel seeds!!
