Hungry Girl Today: 7.16.09
Yesterday was National Hot Dog Day. Today is National Corn Fritters Day.
We're getting creative and merging the two. Happy Corndog Day, people!
Corndog Millionaire Muffins
PER SERVING (1 muffin): 160 calories, 2g fat, 636mg sodium, 27g carbs, 1g
fiber, 6.5g sugars, 9g protein -- POINTS® value 3*
We're well aware of how unconventional corn muffins stuffed with hot dogs
are. Don't knock 'em 'til you chew 'em...
Ingredients:
7 Hebrew National 97% Fat Free Beef Franks (or another brand of nearly fat-
free hot dogs with 40 - 45 calories each)
1 cup canned cream-style corn
2/3 cup all-purpose flour
1/2 cup yellow cornmeal
1/2 cup fat-free liquid egg substitute (like Egg Beaters Original)
1/2 cup fat-free sour cream
2 1/2 tbsp. Splenda No Calorie Sweetener (granulated)
2 1/2 tbsp. granulated sugar
1 1/2 tsp. baking powder
1/4 tsp. salt
Directions:
Preheat oven to 375 degrees.
Combine flour, cornmeal, Splenda, sugar, baking powder, and salt in a large
bowl. Mix well and set aside. In a separate small bowl, mix together corn,
egg substitute, and sour cream. Stir thoroughly. Add contents of the small
bowl to the large one, and stir until completely mixed.
Cut 2 hot dogs in half, leaving you with 4 cocktail-sized franks. Cut each of
the halves into 6 pieces, leaving you with 24 "coins." Set aside. (You'll use
these to top the muffins.)
Chop the remaining hot dogs into very small pieces. Add those to the large
bowl, and stir until they are integrated into the batter.
Line 8 cups of a 12-cup muffin pan with baking cups and/or spray with
nonstick spray. Evenly distribute batter among the 8 cups. Top each muffin
with 3 of the hot dog "coins."
Bake in the oven for 15 - 20 minutes, until a toothpick inserted into the
center of a muffin comes out clean. Allow to cool and then enjoy!

Missing Corndog Report!!!
Have YOU seen this dog!? Our beloved Morningstar Farms Corn Dogs are
MIA. According to the Farms' website, there's a "temporary out of stock
situation," and the company's unsure of when it'll end. WAHHHH! If you have
any additional info regarding the disappearance of these meatless wonder-
pups, contact us ASAP. In the meantime, fill the corndog-shaped hole in your
soul with our Corndog Millionaire Muffins. And check out Trader Joe's Corn
Dogs, if there's a TJ's near you. (Like Morningstar's, those are meatless with
pretty good stats.)
Cousins of the Corndog
It's a family reunion in the HG kitchen, and YOU are invited...
HG's De-Pudged Pigs in a Blanket - These are a HUGE hit at parties. (They
breakdance and even help with post-party cleanup.)
Pig on a Stick in a Bacon-Wrapped Blanket - This dough-covered dog is
dressed up with a slice of bacon... and it's goooood!
Hot Diggity Chili Dog - If you make this pup with some corn-containing chili,
you'll have a Hot Diggity Chili Corndog (sort of)!
Pump-Up-the-Jam Cocktail Weenies - Okay, so maybe these are super-
distant, twice-removed cousins of the corndog. But they're too cute (and too
delicious!) to leave out...
HG IN CONNECTICUT TODAY!!! If you want to meet HG herself (a.k.a. Lisa),
get your book signed, and have an all-around good time, come on out to
Stew Leonard's in Norwalk, CT, at 6pm for this insanely fun event. Click for
details!
