If there is anything my husband enjoys more than football, it’s football food. I decided to make him mini corn dogs – however, I learned a valuable lesson. Um, you should always buy all beef hotdogs. Turns out I bought the cheap “chicken and pork” variety, so while he enjoyed the coating, don’t skimp on the dog, okay? 😀
Corn Dogs – this is enough batter for 4 hot dogs, cut into thirds. You could use the leftover batter to make corn fritters.
- 4 hot dogs, cut into thirds (good beef hot dogs!)
- 1/2 cup corn meal
- 1/2 cup flour
- salt and pepper
- 2 tablespoons sugar
- 1/2 tablespoon baking powder
- 1 egg
- 1/2 cup milk
Mix all the ingredients together, dunk the hot dogs and deep fry at 375 for 5-6 minutes.
I had a Bizzy day in the kitchen. I made my SIL’s lunches for the week, and when she stopped by to pick up her food, Tony showed her a picture of the deep dish pizza I made over the weekend. I went to show her some other pictures and when Tony saw this he was like: “what the hell is that?”
I told him not to worry about it – it was part of our marinade for kabobs I was making. You know there are just some recipes when you read the ingredients and think “that’s sounds so gross!” But when I read this recipe, I was actually really intrigued.
I used a pork roast that I cut into cubes, but you could use pork tenderloin, pork butt or pork shoulder.
- 1 pound pork, cubed
- 2 tablespoons of peanut butter
- 1 cup of Coke
- 3 tablespoons light soy sauce
- 1 garlic clove
- 1 tablespoon worcestershire sauce
- 2 tablespoons lemon juice
- I added the zest of the lemon
Mix the pork with the marinade and soak for 3 hours or overnight.
For the glaze:
- 1/4 cup ketchup
- 3 tablespoons honey
- 1 tablespoon light soy sauce
- 2 tablespoons olive oil
Put the pork on skewers alternating with your veggie of choice. Grill for about 10-15 minutes, basting the pork with the glaze sauce. I soaked my skewers for a few hours, guess it wasn’t long enough!
I served our pork over white rice. These were really tasty – I never would have thought ketchup and honey would work together, but these were tender, tangy and delicious.
It was such a gorgeous fall day yesterday, I had to get outside. I decided to run/walk 3.4 miles and was surprised that I could actually run – my head cold still doesn’t want to leave me, so I would walk 2 minutes, run 3 minutes. I did the 3.4 miles in 39 minutes. 😀
I am off to make a spinach egg white omelet, and am looking forward to my Italian Sausage and spinach soup for lunch – come back tomorrow for that recipe – its so good!
Happy Monday – how was your weekend?
Hey, I’ve tried coca-cola too. Can you get it in shops there?

The corndogs look awesome! Isn’t it funny how a sport has it’s own food?
I remember a friend’s mom making something similar when we were back in elementary school. We always thought she was coming up with crazy recipes like that – I would go home and tell my mom about how weird they were. LOL
My dad talks about his “corny” dogs all the time.. he’d love your recipe! And I’d love those chicken kebabs 🙂 Good lookin eats!
