2 hotdogs feed the family of five or six?
ReplyDeleteYes, when meat is not the main course and is used more as a flavoring added to stir fry's, chilis, mac and cheese or other food combinations, a little meat goes a long ways. 2 hotdogs is more than enough for use as a flavoring for a dish. Now granted this list is not a list of what we eat all the time but we do have these meals on occasions..... we eat other sources of protein as well.
