Baked Mini Corndogs

My kids absolutely love corn dogs and could eat them daily if I let them. In the past I bought store brand corn dogs as an easy lunch "treat" for them, but always felt guilt for how unhealthy they are. So, I decided to start making my own! These are so easy and the kids don't seem to mind that they aren't fried or full of fat. Each corn dog (using the ingredients I list below) are about 50 calories and 1.5 grams of fat. Granted, a corn dog is a corn dog so I still feed these to them in moderation.

Ingredients:

Box of corn bread mix - I use Krusteez brand Fat Free Honey Cornbread

6 Hot dogs, sliced into 5 pieces - I use Oscar Myer Fat Free Turkey Hot dogs

Directions: Make cornbread according to directions on the package.

Spray a mini muffin tin with nonstick cooking spray. Fill each muffin tin, about half way, with muffin mixture. Press a piece of the hot dog into each tin and then top with a bit more cornbread mix.

Bake at 400 degrees for about 10 to 12 minutes. Makes 30 to 32 corndogs

**These freeze really well!**

Chicken Salad Panini

This is different than traditional chicken salad... We prefer it this way. It has a lot more flavor and doesn't have that mayonnaise taste that we hate about some salads. Also, 420 calories and 16g fat, not too terribly bad! Great lunch or dinner! Kraft recipe tweaked.

Ingredients:

2-1/2 cups chopped cooked chicken breast (We usually add Italian seasoning to the chicken while it is cooking - We pretty much use Italian seasoning on everything! It gives the chicken a lot more flavor!)

1/4 cup KRAFT Light Mayo Reduced Fat Mayonnaise

2 Tbsp. REAL Bacon Bits (Oscar Meyer is great)

1/2 yellow onion, finely chopped

2 Tbsp. KRAFT Light Ranch Dressing

8 slices multi-grain bread

1 large tomato, cut into 8 thin slices

4 2% Milk Cheddar Cheese Slices

MIX chicken, mayo, bacon, onions and dressing. Spread onto the bread. Top with tomatoes and cheese. Add the other slice of bread to each.

COOK in preheated grill pan or skillet sprayed with cooking spray on medium heat 3 min. on each side or until golden brown on both sides.
