I make certain meals just to put smiles on my kiddo’s faces. Pigs in a blanket is definitely one of those meals. Although my husband confessed last night, he also loves these little piggies.  I’ll definitely say they’re better than regular old hot dogs, that’s for sure.  Oh, and excellent to pack for lunches too!

Don’t be afraid to add some flair though. For us, we like shredded cheese. You could add ham, bacon, onion. Shoot, have fun and enjoy!
