Mini Corn Dogs

Now that Christmas is through, and we’re all beginning to settle back into our previous routines, we’ve been keeping our lunches and dinners very simple. This is one of those so-simple-it’s-ridiculous kind of meals. You cook a hot dog, chop it up, dunk it into a mini muffin tin loaded with prepared corn bread mix, bake it, and you’re all set. Serve it up with some chopped veggies and fresh fruit slices. Boom. Lunch/Dinner is covered. My toddler inhaled this stuff, my husband ate most of them, and the few ones I had were exactly what I’d hoped they’d be: easy, inexpensive, and delicious. 
I’ve been taking a little Christmas break this week from blogging – and I hope you are, too! Family is most important – soak them in as much as you can this week, and we’ll be back on the food blog train again next week. Love you all, and hope you had a very Merry Christmas this week.
