There is something so fabulous about food on a stick. Just think about every carnival or fair you’ve ever attended and the availability of delicious stick food. A simple hot dog dipped in cornmeal batter and fried becomes food perfection when combined with the backdrop of flashing lights, rides swooshing by, and the ever-present lingering aroma of cotton candy.
My children are no exception to being lured by food on a stick, so it was fun to figure out a way to apply that method to a meal at home. Instead of corn dogs made with hot dogs, we made corn dogs with sausages and served them for breakfast. They were a hit!
