Some of my favorite childhood memories growing up in northern Idaho were the Kootenai County State Fair and the Julyamsh Pow Wow of the Coeur d’Alene tribe. I’ve always loved being surrounded by big community celebrations and fair food is ingrained in those memories – hot and greasy and so, so delicious. At just 40 calories a pop, you can share a plate of these baked bites and not go into a fair-food coma for the rest of the afternoon.
Hot dogs are not my thing – I will take a burger every single time, thanks – but there’s a nostalgia about corn dogs that I can’t resist. Give these bites a try and you’ll be hooked again too!
