Lunches for Littles: Kid-Friendly Chili

Next up on my Lunch 4 Littles series is a kid friendly chili and hot dog dish done healthier.  

My nieces and nephews adore hot dogs.  At every party or holiday event, hot dogs are usually on the menu.  What I don't adore are all of the preservatives, nitrates and unnecessary animal parts (I'm sorry but it's true) that these little bodies are consuming. 

I have to admit, after this post, I actually ate it and it was delicious. So mommies, this is something you can eat too, and since all the ingredients are organic you don't have to feel guilty for eating what the kids are having.  I added some green beans on the side to add in a vegetable, and if your kids like green veggies, all the better to add it to their meal too!

What I Served:
1 Applegate Farms Turkey Hotdog 
1 Can of Fry's (or Kroger) Organic Vegan Chili Beans (they are very mild)
1 Gluten-Free Yahuda's Cracker, Crumbled on top (These contain egg, so omit if allergic)

I sliced the hotdog and cooked in a pan until seared through.  In a small sauce pan I heated the chili until hot, then let it cool.  You want to make sure it's fully cooked, but then set aside so you don't burn little mouths.  Put it together in a small dish and serve with crumbled crackers on top.
