Mini Corn Dogs Using Ellie Krieger Corn Bread

One of my favorite sites is Mother Rimmy's Cooking Light Done Right.  This is a place to get low calorie and healthy recipes which are delicious, yummy and scrumptious.  If you have not visited there, I suggest you check it out and I am betting, you will return.

Mini Corn Dogs (adapted from Cooking Light, Done Right)

Ingredients:

1 cup cornbread mix (I used an Ellie Krieger recipe which I will include beneath this recipe.)
2 tablespoons onion, finely chopped
1/2 teaspoon chili powder
1 large egg white
½ cup Rice milk
2 hot dogs, cut into 12 pieces
    Method:

    Preheat the oven to 350 degrees.
    Combine cornbread mix, 2 tablespoons onion, chili powder, egg white and Rice milk in a bowl. Mix until smooth.
    Spray a mini muffin tin with cooking spray and spoon cornbread mix into the muffin cups. Press one piece of hot dog into the middle of each cup. Bake for 10 minutes until a toothpick inserted in the center comes out clean.
    I served this as a side dish.
    I made these particularly for my grandchildren. This is my idea of a fun food.

    Ellie Krieger Corn Bread
     Ellie's recipe is called Corn Bread with Sweet Corn Kernels.  My family does not like corn in their muffins so I left them out of the recipe.  My preference is to add that corn.

    Ingredients:

    nonstick cooking spray
    1 cup gluten-free flour mix
    1 cup yellow corn meal
    1 1/2 teaspoons baking powder
    1/4 teaspoon salt
    1 egg
    1 egg white
    1 1/4 cups low fat buttermilk or Rice milk with 1 1/4 teaspoons vinegar
    3 tablespoons honey
    3 tablespoons canola oil

    Method:

    Move the oven rack to the center of the oven and preheat to 350 degrees F.
    Lightly spray a 9x5 loaf pan (Of course, I did not do this.  I kept the batter for the mini muffin tins)
    In a large bowl, whisk together the flour, cornmeal, baking powder and salt.
    In another large bowl, whisk egg, egg white, buttermilk, honey and oil.
    Add liquid ingredients to the dry ingredients,  Mix to combine.

    Pour in prepared pan (in this case - the mini muffin pans)  (Follow recipe above.)

      Thank you so much for trying these and for Ellie's recipe. My daughter-in-law has to eat gluten free, so I'll be sure and pass this along to her. Have a good week. :)

      Very fun and easy way to make corn dogs. I ate my first ever corn dog only 3 weeks ago and it was, well... interesting, but I'm not really a hot dog lover. I'll bet though that these would appeal to my Maisie. Also, thanks for reading along on Moments with Maisie and I'm glad that you're enjoying the blog.

    Thai Chicken San Choy Bau

    Image
    It says, "thai" so I have to like the Thai Chicken San Choy Bau that we are making this week in our Donna Hay Wednesday group.  It was a bit spicy and the chopped chicken was a nice change of pace. Kayte selected this recipe from On the Shelf on page 124.   I tried it with the greens and it was very good and then I put it on spaghetti and it was spectacular.  My toddler granddaughter even liked it.  Must have been the hot sauce. I used romaine for the greens and I subbed in red pepper and added some Sirracha to spice it up to make up for the real chilis. Do check out the other cooks' dishes at our   Wednesday with Donna Hay site.

    Brussels Sprouts - Power Food - Re-post

    Image
    Another week, another vegetable for our Power Food group, a bunch of women who strive for healthy eating with the most delicious dishes. Each blog is inspiration . Each week, we choose a recipe based on the power food which comes from the book, Power Foods, 150 delicious recipes with the 38 healthiest ingredients from the editors of Whole Living magazine. Brussels sprouts like broccoli and cabbage are cruciferous. This group offers a unique composition of antioxidants that may provide several health benefits. Brussels sprouts are low in calories and offer protein, vitamins and minerals to help build a healthy human. My first issue with brussels sprouts is that it took me years to spell it correctly. Each time, it came up, in writing, and I admit, that was not too often, I would stare into space asking myself does brussel get an S, at the end or is it sprout that gets the S. For some reason, I could not remember that both end with that S. I am happy to tell you, I overcame thi

    Carrot Cake _ Power Food - repost

    Another week, another vegetable for our Power Food group, a bunch of women who strive for healthy eating with the most delicious dishes. Each blog is inspiration . Each week, we choose a recipe based on the power food which comes from the book, Power Foods, 150 delicious recipes with the 38 healthiest ingredients from the editors of Whole Living magazine. That week, we concentrated on carrots. I like to check out our vegetable, not only for health benefits, but also for the names of their sisters. Carrots are related to parsnips, fennel, parsley, anise, caraway, cumin and dill. I didn't have a clue about many of these. I, have never seen carrots of other colors or at least, if I had, I didn't know, they were carrots. I am going to a good produce store, looking for purple or red carrots, to start my search. It is fun, shopping when purposely looking for new vegetables. I have definitely expanded my horizons. When, I was thinking about what to make with carrots, I
