Slowly I am getting back :)

Hi gang,

I know it has been a long time since I haven't posted anything. 

I started to work again some of my local meetings last week and I am looking forward to return to all my other meetings pretty soon.

Having a broken back is not fun but all your cards, emails and messages were my best medicines.

I cannot wait to see you all.

Combine all of the ingredients except the graham crackers and optional ingredients in a bowl, and mix thoroughly.
Place the mixture in a deep-dish pie pan sprayed lightly with nonstick spray, and bake in the oven for 45 minutes. (It will remain a little soft, like pie filling.)
Refrigerate until completely chilled and firm, at least 2 hours.

Serve and enjoy!

1 Jell-O Sugar Free Vanilla Pudding Snack

2 drops yellow food coloring

Guilt-Free Mini Corn Dogs

Guilt-Free Mini Corn Dogs

1⅛ cups buttermilk

2 eggs, I like using Egg-land Best eggs, see healthy benefit

2 tablespoons pickle relish

2 tablespoon prepared yellow mustard or spicy brown mustard

2 dashes Tabasco sauce

1¼ cups all-purpose flour

1 cup cornmeal

1 tablespoon sugar

1 teaspoon baking powder

1 teaspoon salt

½ teaspoon baking soda

1 (1 lb.) pkg. Hebrew National 97% fat-free all-beef hot dogs, see shopping tip

Cooking spray, I like using olive oil spray

1. Preheat oven to 400 degrees. Coat a baking pan with cooking spray.

2. Combine buttermilk, eggs, relish, mustard and Tabasco in a bowl.

3. In a large bowl, using a whisk, mix together flour, cornmeal, sugar, baking powder, salt and baking soda. Stir buttermilk mixture into cornmeal mixture to combine;

let stand 3 minutes. (The mixture will be thick.) Using a whisk again, whisk mixture until smooth; transfer to a tall measuring cup.

4. Cut each hot dog into three pieces crosswise. Dip dogs into batter, coating entirely. It gets a little messy but just make sure they are all fully coated.

You might need to use your finger to smear the batter around. It doesn’t matter if they don’t look perfectly shaped. Mine don’t but still taste great.

5. Place corn dogs on baking pan. Spray the corn dogs with cooking spray.

6. Bake for 15 minutes on 1 side, turn over, coat again with cooking spray and bake an additional 10-15 minutes.

7. Place a toothpick in each. Serve at once with ketchup and mustard on the side.
