Franks and Beans

Sometimes, it’s a weeknight. (71.4% of the time, to be precise, but I’m going for a little dramatic presentation here.) Sometimes the tantrums have been extra special, someone smashed their head into the table because they were stimming too wildly, your arms ache from all those sensory joint compressions, and the last thing you want to do is cook a meal from scratch. But unlike every other mom out there, you don’t have any cop-out options available to you, at least ones that won’t poison your kid’s brain. Right? Wrong!

Step one: beans in a pot. 2 cans of Bush’s Country Style Baked Beans, to be specific. [You know the drill. Don’t rely on me, or the past good behavior of manufacturers. Always check your own labels.]

Step two: about 4 or 5 Applegate Farms GFCF hot dogs, sliced up.

Hot dogs in pot.

And stir.

This is another one of those meals that you can sneak a jar of pureed veggies into, if you have some sort of nutritional guilt complex you need to assuage. Or you could just open up a can of fruit for the hungry horde, too. Either way, don’t you dare feel bad for needing a night off from the intensity of this diet. Remember, normal moms across the nation take their kids to McDonald’s all the time, and if you think that’s even half as healthy as this, you are living in fantasy land.

Happy Eating!
