4th of July Barbecue


It’s fourth of July so it’s time for great American dinners with hot dogs, hamburgers and corn on the cob.
---
Standing in for the hot dogs is Mr Smoked Bratwurst. Ahhhhh so many calories and fat smushed into such a small space. And in a potato dough hotdog roll with all the yumminess of white refined flour you’d think I’d be in too much of a coma to even be able to type this up.
---
Playing next to the meat is corn on the cob, brushed with olive oil and chipotle, and grilled. And finally, nothing is more American than long green beans. We threw in some salad too, though minus the goat cheese as mr Smoked Bratwurst didn’t allow for much wiggle room.
---
We finished this all off with my super low points margaritas – just tequila, lime, ice and a fresco tonight.
---
I’d write more, but we’re off to see the fireworks.

Weightwatchers points: 17 as follows: 8 for the bratwurst, 3 for the bun, 3 for the salad dressing & topping, 1 for the corn on the cob and another each for the olive oil and butter.
