State Fair inspired Baby Sausage Dogs has cornmeal breading on a Lil smokey sausage. You can make this kid-approved, family favorite any time of year!
I had an idea to tempt Lincoln to try new food. You see, he’s a terribly picky eater. I totally understand that.
I wanted to make small corn dogs, but I knew Lincoln would not dare try them. Usually, if he helps make something, he’ll at least try it. I thought if we used Lil Smokies instead of hot dogs that I would have a better chance.It was a total success. Both Lincoln and Ryder helped make these Baby Sausage Dogs. And both ate and liked them! Score!!
These are my two babies! Lincoln and Ryder. They’re as different as daylight and dark. Lincoln (left) won’t at anything. Ryder eats everything. We actually did a Fifty New Foods Challenge for Lincoln last year to try and expand his food appreciation.Here are a couple of dishes that he tried and liked!
Chicken Taco Bites
JP’s Steak Bites
Molasses Glazed Pork Tenderloin
We’re still working on fruits and vegetables!

Do you cook with your kids?
What dishes do you enjoy cooking with them?
Look what else we made! Fried Oreos!
I had Oreos from this recipe and gave it a whirl. The boys had never seen Fried Oreos at the Fair so it was big fun to them!
If I make this the night before how can I store it? Can I put them in a container and in the fridge?
Yes, after they’re cooked, store in an airtight container where they’re not touching or they’ll stick. They you can heat them up in the oven or microwave, the oven will make the outside crisper
Do I need to keep the cocktail links
on the skewers while cooking them?
You don’t have to you could just drop them in. I did put the skewers on before I cooked them and used them as a handle to hold in the oil.
Those are awesome! My kids would love them too 🙂 Thanks so much for linking up at Share your Stuff Tuesdays Paula!!
