Saggy Buns

The quest for a yummy, nutritious, cruelty free hot dog bun has been a frustrating and at times seemingly impossible task. I did find one brand at Walmart that was full of garbage but it was vegan so I let Andrew have it for an occasional treat, but they no longer carry it. I bought some at WholeFoods for a ridiculous price that were absolutely disgusting. I wouldn’t even feed them to my dogs (I let the chickens have them). Then I decided to try and make my own, I have seen my mom make rolls, I figured same principles apply so I whipped up a batch of sour dough and got this
Saggy Buns
Oso liked them
Andrew did too, they tasted fine, but they were not a good hot dog bun. The quest was put on hold last week when I went to DC and NYC on business. I had to work from my hotel room, but the view was incredible
I did take a break or two 
I have a friend back east that also went plant based in Feb, she is a nurse and planted one of the seeds that grew into my own conversion and she introduced me to two new loves. One has Andrew’s stamp of approval, the other I ate before he had a chance to taste, let alone stamp.
Sticky Fingers cookies. The owner/creator won cupcake wars two years in a row and she has a cookbook, which is on its way to my house.
Ozery Morning rounds Andrew approved.
$3.99 for 6 rounds. These are so soft and chewy and filling and delicious and Andrew approved. My friend bought me two bags to take home, I accidentally ate them all before I even made it to NYC, so I went on a hunt to NYC Whole Foods—they weren’t there, thankfully I found them in Utah. As I cleared the shelves, I noticed they also make—you guessed it—a hot dog bun. Delicious. Andrew approved.

There really is something about a hot dog bun that is glorious, and so not saggy.
When I saw this post in my email I thought that Erika had posted it….Over the weekend we had a conversation about the other type of “saggy buns” Haha! Glad you found one Andrew likes! Now what I want to know is what in the heck kind of vegan hot dog are you eating, because I tried a couple when I first went vedge and had to toss them they were so gross!?!
Glad you had a fun trip! Can’t wait to connect in person soon!
I have that kind too, and considered posting a pic of them, but decided against it. We love the Yves Veggie Cuisine, The Good Dog and Lightlife Smart Dogs
Haha! I know, it’s swimsuit season, and it terrifies me! I need to re-try vegan hot dogs, because I think the brands I tried are listed above. Maybe I was too fresh off the carnivore diet to appreciate them.
Hahha saggy buns, I totally though this was heading in a completely different direction
Did you get the chance to go to Sticky Fingers in DC – so GOOD!
The morning rounds look incredible, who could blame you for eating the lot before getting home
i didn’t make it to her bakery, but I did get the cowvin cookies and ate them all. My sticky fingers cookbook should be here tomorrow! I can’t believe I am just discovering sticky fingers now. I go to DC several times a year!
The picture of the morning rounds do not do them justice. Buy some, you will thank me for it!
We found those Rounds as well and LOVE THEM!
My 13 year old loves them too–always happy when I find something he will eat
