This is the kind of menu that can make children forget they are actually eating vegetables. 😂 I really liked your idea of adding grated carrot and cabbage to the hot dogs, especially because you explained that it is one of the ways you encourage your children to eat them. That is a smart little kitchen trick.

I also liked that you grilled the sausages instead of boiling them. The way you described preparing the fries, salad, sausages and sauces separately before putting everything together made the whole process easy to understand. And the homemade guava juice with the cake was a nice way to complete the meal.

One small observation is about the statement that homemade hot dogs are "more healthy and hygienic." Preparing food at home can certainly give you more control over how the ingredients are handled, but it is still important to be careful with things like sauces, oil and sausages. Also, the cost table is useful, although mentioning the exact quantity actually used from ingredients that were left over would make the budget calculation even more accurate.

What makes this post stand out for me is the reason behind the meal. You were not just trying to make something cheap; you were making food your children enjoy while finding a way to include vegetables. That is a win in my book—and if the children happily eat the cabbage without complaining, you may have discovered a secret superpower. 😄
