My kids and hubby eat more hot dogs than I do (I don't eat a lot of salty foods). We put them in Corningware covered with water and plop them in the microwave for around 5 minutes. This helps to cut the salty taste quite a bit. My oldest daughter puts a slit in hers and fills it with mustard, chopped onions and dill relish. Hubby would live on hot dogs if I'd let him. They're just too easy for him to grab, and they haven't slowed him down one bit.

Oops! Forgot to say, my brother-in-law (also on Atkins) says you should eat three to four fat hot dogs a day. It must be a guy thing! LOL
