I worked all day today and don’t really feel like making dinner. But I can still make a healthy meal — quickly and easily.

We’re having:

US Wellness Meats Hot Dogs (all-beef, nitrate-free, from grass-fed cows) with Homemade Lacto-fermented Sauerkraut and Pickles on Alvarado St. Bakery Sprouted Bread
Organic Green Salad with Tomatoes (from CSA box), Raw Milk Blue Cheese and Homemade Vinaigrette
Organic Corn with Raw Butter (from the freezer)

Grass-fed beef is so good for you. According to the Eat Wild website:

… compared with feedlot meat, meat from grass-fed beef, bison, lamb and goats has less total fat, saturated fat, cholesterol, and calories. It also has more vitamin E, beta-carotene, vitamin C, and a number of health-promoting fats, including omega-3 fatty acids and “conjugated linoleic acid,” or CLA.

I feel good, too, knowing that the cows who gave their lives for this meal lived good lives on pasture in the sunshine, eating green grass — not confined, standing on cement up to their knees in their own manure in a feedlot.

It will only take a few minutes to heat everything up and serve. And this is a meal any kid would love.

Add some reheated homemade chili and raw milk cheese and it’s even better! (I don’t happen to have any chili in the freezer so we are having them plain tonight.)

UPDATE: Seth said, “There must be a lot of fat in these hot dogs because they taste REALLY good!” Actually they have less of the bad fat and more of the good — and yeah, they do taste better.
