Today I made the girls corn dogs for lunch. These corn dogs were super simple as I simply made a corn batter and stuck a cocktail weenie in the middle before I baked them! I thought these mini muffins were cute as they were, but I couldn't resist a little tweaking! So now the corn dogs are Rilakkuma corn dogs, joined by his buddy kiiroitori (yellow bird).
In these bento lunches the girls had:
- Mini corn dog muffins dressed as Rilakkuma.
- Quail egg soaked in turmeric water overnight to get the yellow color.
- Grapes
- Mango dices
- Ketchup in the Rilakkuma mini container
I used a mini Carl Craft cutter to make the bear faces. *Hint for bento makers* If you dip the tip of a tooth pick in water you can pick up and place your nori cut outs with ease! No frustration from stubby fingers!

ReplyDeleteHi! Came across this from a link at My Epicurious Adventures and love the idea of homemade corn dog muffins. When you freeze them do you let them thaw on their own or microwave? Thanks
