Holiday Treat! Spin on 'Pigs in a Blanket'...think 'Pig on a Diet, in a Blanket'


What's better than the famous appetizer of pigs in a blanket? Well, how about having half the calories in one you make yourself! A regular appetizer size has around 70calories. I have one for 33 calories that tastes exactly the same. Gasp away!

The "Little Piggy" in a Blanket
Ingredients (serving size: 4 aka entire recipe)
1 triangle of a fat Pillsbury Crescent Roll - 90 calories
1 fat free hot dog (hebrew national makes a great one!) -roughly 45 calories
TOTAL: 135 for 4, 33 calories for one!  
Directions
Preheat oven to 375.
Spread the crescent roll out so that it stretches to full capacity. Cut into 4 pieces. Cut hot dog into 4. Roll the crescent around the hot dog. Voila!
Bake for about 12 minutes on an ungreased baking pan.

You are going to be impressed with these little creations. They will become an appetizer staple for every party you host!
