Football Sunday Foods

 When switching to a healthier vegetarian diet the first thing i thought of was all the "good" things i would eat on Sunday afternoons while watching football: Chicken wings, chips and dips, hot dogs... I could go on and on about all the things i would make on Sundays.
So anyways, i thought i would give making my own hotdogs a try. I was already making some faux-chicken and faux-beef out of seiten for the week and had some left over wheat gluten. So i decided i would use the rest for some hot dogs.
I used:
1 Cup Wheat Gluten
1/2 Cup of water
3 Tablespoons of Tomato sauce
2 teaspoons of Paprika
2 teaspoons of Olive oil
2 teaspoons of Vegetable broth
2 basil leaves chopped
1 teaspoon of garlic powder
salt pepper and my habenaro flakes to taste (did i mention they are HOT dogs?)

Preheat oven to 325 degrees F.

Mix all ingredients together and knead until well combined.

Portion into 4 balls and roll to form a hot dog shape.

Place each dog on a sheet of aluminum foil.

Roll the dogs making sure they are tightly wrapped in the foil.

Tie 'em off tightly, I actually had one blow up on me when i opened the oven.

Bake about 30 minutes.

This one could not wait to get out of its foil.

 They look like hot dogs and taste even better.

Of Course you need to have some chips and dip with your dogs. So i whipped up this quick Nacho Cheese recipe.

1 cup of cashews (soaked in water for an hour or 2)

3 tablespoons of lemon juice

2 tablespoons of tahini

1 cup of almond milk

1 teaspoon of red vine vinegar

2 tablespoons of olive oil

1 teaspoon of yellow mustard

1 tablespoon of corn starch

1 teaspoon of paprika

1/2 teaspoon of tumeric

3/4 cup of salsa

Add all ingredients to blender and blend till smooth.

Tastes great, but next time i think I'll try and add some hot peppers to spice it up abit.

Just 5 days till Wineglass, kinda getting nervous.
