Corn Dogs

8/13/2014

There is just something about food on a stick that is strangely appealing to me. Seriously, if it can be put on a stick, I've tried it.

Maybe it's because I have germ issues but I prefer not to hold my food in my hand. That could explain why I don't like to eat hot dogs or hamburgers. I haven't figured out how to get a hamburger on a stick yet but I do know how to eat a hot dog without touching it - hello, corn dog! (I know - I'm a genius.)

Pretty sure most people don't like to eat corn dogs because it keeps their hands off of their food - they eat them because they're good. Let's face it, a hot dog covered in a deep fried batter - what's not to like? Courtney loves corn dogs and I don't normally buy them and keep them in the house so it's a treat for her to have them when we go out.

I've made homemade corn dogs in the past and they were pretty good but I found a new recipe for Corn Dogs in my taste of home magazine and for some reason, they just sounded really good.
They were called Indiana Style Corn Dogs and I have absolutely no idea why Indiana has their own style of corn dogs but I can tell you that they were good.
