Ken has been talking about trying to do corn dogs for a while now and then I saw a picture on Foodgawker and went to the site to grab the recipe. Ken changed it up slightly, added a jalapeno in the middle and I called them Cowboy Corn Dogs With a Twist. WOW, they were great.
The kids gobbled them down in seconds and we enjoyed the ones with the jalapenos. So when you come back from the Stampede and your kids are asking for more you can whip up these little guys and they will be delighted and the big cowboys can have them with the jalapenos!!!

I am saving this recipe to try tonight. I am sure kids will love it. if there weren’t those skewers, this meal would have been ordinary. I am going to mix in few of my own ingredients in it. Yesterday i made this Chicken and Rice Casserole from this website. It was really good, i dont know how you food website make these. I always fail when i try something new.

For sure, try new things, that is what it is all about. Cheers!!
