recipe: veggie dog bites


This "no-wheat" diet has me eating some interesting things. I made corn relish a few weeks ago for "Bokkie's Boerritos". I was not impressed with the overall recipe (mango on tortilla just tasted wrong), and the corn relish isn't what I was expecting. However, I made over 1L of it so needed to find a way of eating it. Kyle mentioned that his mom used to eat it on hot dogs, and suddenly I had visions of smog dog vendors in downtown TO with their metal vats of corn relish. And I asked Kyle to buy me veggie dogs. However, no wheat + veggie dog = oops. So I invented this crazy meal one day, and I'm actually really happy with it! It's super quick, filling, and tasty.

Note: The rice crackers stay nice and crunchy despite being microwaved.
