oven baked corn dogs

I got this recipe from Rachel Ray off Food networks sight. These were very hard to get the dough to form around them, but they were really good.

Ingredients

2 boxes corn muffin mix, 8 1/2 ounces each (recommended: Jiffy brand) i used store brand
1 cup all-purpose flour
2 eggs
3/4 cup milk
1/2 stick butter, melted
1 tablespoon chili powder, eyeball it in your palm
2 teaspoons cumin, eyeball it
2 teaspoons cayenne pepper sauce (recommended: Tabasco or Frank's Red Hot) I just used a dash of cayenne pepper
2 scallions, finely chopped omitted
8 jumbo pork or beef franks

Directions
Preheat oven to 425 degrees F.

In a shallow dish, combine muffin mix with flour, then stir in eggs, milk and melted butter. Season the mix with chili powder, cumin, cayenne and scallions.
The batter will be a thick, sticky biscuit dough. Place a hot dog in the bowl of batter and swoosh it around to coat it. Remove coated dog to a nonstick cookie sheet and use your fingers to spread batter on any exposed dog spots. Don't coat it too thick, just shy of 1/2-inch should do the trick. If it's too thick it will just slide off the dog while it's baking, leaving the dog exposed. If that happens don't sweat it, they will still taste great.
Repeat until all 8 are coated.
Bake 12 to 15 minutes or until evenly deep brown all over.

Garlic Bread

We got this Cuban at Sam's Club for 84 cents the other day and forgot about it so we sliced some up spread some butter and sprinkled with garlic powder, oregano and parsely, put on the grill for a couple minutes. Turned out really good.

Cheddar-Garlic Biscuits

Brad always talks about wanting Garlic Cheese Biscuits that you get at red lobster, so i thought what better to accompany his lobster tail that some biscuits. I got the recipe from once again Cookinglight.com

This recipe was very quick and very good to make.

Ingredients
2 cups all-purpose baking mix

2/3 cup milk

1/2 cup (2 ounces) shredded Cheddar cheese

1/4 cup butter, melted

1/4 teaspoon garlic powder

Preparation

Stir together first 3 ingredients until soft dough forms. Stir vigorously 30 seconds. Drop by tablespoonfuls onto an ungreased baking sheet.
Bake at 450° for 8 to 10 minutes.
Stir together butter and garlic powder; brush over warm biscuits.

Yield
Makes 10 to 12 biscuits

I only made a half batch b/c i didn't want a bunch of left over biscuits beings i was making such a large dinner. and I sprinkled the garlic into the mix b/c i didn't write down the directions completely. haha

I bet they would take a little more like garlic if i would have brushed them when they were finished baking. But they were definately still tastey.

Whole Wheat Bread

I got this from a Friend on Thenest.com She recomended her Bread Recipe to me.

I used soy milk b/c that is all we buy, Unsalted butter, I didn't add salt either, I think i used about 4 cups maybe a little more of unbleached white flour. So far they are turning out good. I think i will only get 4 loafs out of the batch.

Strawberry Bread

I was looking for a recipe to use up some strawberries that were starting to go bad in the fridge and joesygirl from thenest.com gave me this great recipe

By Submitting using the ingrediants in the ( ) you can make the recipe a lot healthier She was able to cut the calories by 100 per serving. I used some of the substitutions and some of the regular ingrediants on the list. I did put pecans in it, and i have to say you can't really taste them and it was really good.
