My family gobbled these up. When my husband saw them, he couldn’t believe I made them…. Best part, they are SO EASY to make! Seriously, they whip up so fast and are devoured almost just as quickly :) Another awesome thing about this recipe, is you can freeze them instead of baking for a dinner at a later date.

Notes (recipe from: Our Best Bites) Enjoy! Corn Dog Mini Muffins | Happy Good Time Blog. Ovi and I were talking about all of the food we loved as kids, and corn dogs were really high on the list. The ones from our childhood usually came in a giant frozen box. Toss them in the microwave, and 2 minutes later you would have a meal on a stick. They were rubbery, salty, and …..strangely delicious. They either came out of the freezer, or from a hot dog stand in the mall where they are deep fried to greasy perfection. Come to think of it, I’ve actually never had a homemade corn dog until we whipped up these little cuties. I never looked at the nutrition information (what kid would), but I am willing to bet large sums of money that these little homemade versions are infinitely better for you.

Lightening up this recipe was simple. Recipe makes 28 mini muffins. My muffin tin only accommodated 24 mini muffins, but I had enough batter left over to make 4 more. Special Equipment: Mini Muffin PanToothpick (for testing muffins) Ingredients: Be sure to buy fully cooked hot dogs. Directions: Corn Casserole. Corn Casserole is one of my favorite sides during the holidays or at potlucks during any time of the year. It is the easiest recipe to throw together and can be prepared with various ingredients mixed in. Me? I like it in its simplest form, with mainly cheese, corn and corn bread. Mmmm…mmmm…good! Some people like to top their corn casserole with cheese, but I like to stir it into the mix instead.

A favorite of ours not only during the holidays but year round, too! 1 (15 1/4 oz) can whole kernel corn, drained 1 (14 3/4 oz) can cream-style corn 1 (8 oz) package Jiffy corn muffin mix 1 cup sour cream 1/2 cup butter, melted 1 to 1 1/2 cups shredded Cheddar Preheat oven to 350? Mix together the corn, Jiffy, sour cream and butter in a large bowl. Note: You can bake for a shorter time in a 9x13, but the texture will be different than baking in the 9x9 or 2 quart casserole.

The taste, the texture, the dip-ability; it’s probably one of my favorite go-to comfort foods. However, I don’t need the fat of an actual deep fried potato, and I certainly do not favor processed french fries that come from the frozen food section of the grocery store.

Enter: Healthy French Fries* Step 1: Peel your ‘taters. This isn’t necessary, though, but if you decide you want the skin on make sure you scrub-wash them first. At this time remember to preheat your oven to 450 degrees. Step 2: Cut them into strips. Step 3: Place potatoes in colander and rinse the starch off of them.

Step 4: Pat down the potatoes. Step 5: Drizzle Olive Oil over potatoes. Step 6: Salt those babies up. Step 7: Mix them up so they all get coated with the olive oil and salt. Step 8: Arrange them, on a baking sheet, in a single layer Step 9: Add anything else you like. Step 10: Place the potatoes into your preheated oven for 20 minutes. And then, voila… Healthy French Fries. GET OFF YOUR BUTT AND BAKE!: PASTRY. Last night, I decided to make one of my favorite cookies.

These little pastry swirls are so delish! I usually use my favorite pie crust recipe, which I have previously posted, but I decided to try a pastry recipe by the Barefoot Contessa. This recipe calls for lots of butter! I used my 14-cup Cuisinart Food Processor (love it) to make the pastry dough. It's so easy in a food processor, so if you haven't invested in one, do so very soon! Make sure that you use only cold butter, and keep the pastry chilled. That is what makes it good and flaky. Pastry: 2 cups all purpose flour 1/4 cup granulated or superfine sugar 1/2 tsp. kosher salt 1/2 pound (2 sticks) COLD unsalted butter, diced Directions: Place the flour, sugar, and salt in the bowl of a food processor fitted with a steel blade. Line a baking sheet with parchment paper.

Heat oven to 400 degrees. Divide your dough into two equal parts. Keep one half covered in plastic wrap and chill in refrigerator. About 1/8" thick Roll up jelly roll style.
