you better make a triple batch because you’ll want/need all of them for yourself, like I did. And if you do have kids, I don’t even know. If you do not have any children running around whether they are yours or family. I continually repinned them thinking to myself, “Oh, I’ll make these for my nephew sometime.” or “Oh, I’m totally going to make these for my future kids.” (By the way, I didn’t even have a boyfriend at the time) Make these for myself? ha! I have far too advanced of a palate for such a thing. Probably since the day Pinterest was invented, to be honest. For real. I’ve been seeing “corn dog muffins” on Pinterest for years. I already sent Eric to the store to grab more ingredients for them because I would really appreciate it if I could have one every single day for the rest of my life. Yep five! At least they were spread throughout the day, right? right. I am so thankful that these are calorie friendly because good God, I ate 5 out of the 9 muffins we made the other day. These happen to be fairly calorie/weight watchers friendly so I will include that information at the bottom of the recipe print out. Now, about these Cheesy Corn Dog Muffins. and that’s just the way the cookie crumbles. Sometimes they will be calorie friendly for us mamas, sometimes they won’t be. So, there will be lots of kid friendly foods.

The girl will grab an apple and eat it over a cookie any day of the week (she’s my hero), but I want to make fun things with her and teach her as she grows that nothing is off limits in terms of food as long as there is balance in life. Of course I want Pepper to eat healthy things and believe me she has a very balanced diet. While she’s still so young this part of the blog probably won’t be updated much more than once a month, but as she grows I am so excited to share more of our adventures together in the kitchen. Because I do a lot more cooking rather than baking this makes this part a bit harder, but it’s totally doable. I do not let her do anything or even be up on the counter once the stovetop is on. Please know, because this is the internet and the internet contains crazy people that assume the worst when someone does not clarify. So, what she actually participates in will be slim pickin’s for awhile, but I feel as if there’s some stuff she can partake in and sit on the counter top with me to at least watch me do what I spend so much time doing. Some of my favorite memories involve being in the kitchen with my mama and I really couldn’t wait to get into the kitchen with Pepper! Now, I know. Don’t ask me why, I remember sobbing to Eric saying something along the lines, “She’s not a baby anymore!” Hormones are NO joke, people. In fact, I cried my eyeballs out the day her umbilical cord fell off. If I had it my way she would have been mixing batter before her umbilical cord fell off. I’m fairly certain that a few days after I had little Pepper I wanted to start baking muffins and decorating cookies with her. I’m extremely excited to share these Cheesy Corn Dog Muffins with you today mostly because my sweet little Pepper helped me make them and also because they are insanely yummy.
