TV failed me!

Today, I will post about my lunch.  Let me tell you, there is a flop here!  Keep reading and you will find it for sure!


Corndogs:

I made this recipe up, after not being able to find a healthy version.  I really love to make them!
Ingredients:
3T Corn bread mix
1.5T Milk
2t brown sugar (or 1/2 brown sugar and 1/2 sugar substitute)
1t egg substitute
1t applesauce
2 hotdogs (I use fat free)
Oven set to 375F
Mini loaf pan - greased.

Mix up all ingredients except hotdogs! Pour half into the bottom of loaf pan.  Cut top 1/3 of each hotdog off. Place hot dogs on top of corn meal mix. Cover with the rest of the cornmeal mixture and smooth.  Bake 22 to 25 minutes (til golden brown).  I then slide a knife around the edge and flip the corndog over.  I dip in ketchup and mustard! YUM!!!

   

Hungry Girl Onion Rings:

Ingredients:

1 large onion
1/2 cup Fiber One bran cereal (original)
1/2 cup fat-free liquid egg substitute (like Egg Beaters Original)
1/4 tsp. garlic powder, or more to taste
1/8 tsp. onion powder, or more to taste
1/8 tsp. salt, or more to taste
Black pepper, to taste

Directions:
Preheat oven to 375 degrees.
Slice the ends off the onion and remove its outer layer. Cut onion into 1/2-inch-wide slices, and separate into rings. Set aside.
Using a blender or food processor, grind Fiber One to a breadcrumb-like consistency. Season the crumbs with spices and transfer to a plate.
Fill a small bowl with egg substitute. Prepare a baking sheet (or two, if you have a lot of rings) by spraying with nonstick spray. Set aside.
One at a time, dunk each ring in egg substitute, give it a shake to remove any excess, and then coat it in the seasoned crumbs. Evenly place rings on the baking sheet(s).
Bake in the oven for 20 - 25 minutes, carefully flipping rings over about halfway through. Enjoy!

*****  I used this recipe, baked them all up, and then took my first bite.  DISAPPOINTMENT!  On the show, she said that they tasted like a diner onion ring.  No such luck.  I am going to have to keep working on this.  You know I will!!!  *****
