Our hot dog of choice is Ball Park’s all Beef Franks. Every summer we purchase the mega packs at Costco and then we go to town on hot dogs. Everyone loves them and it’s so easy to make in the microwave or on the grill. So my freezer is stocked with Ball Park because Costco has a coupon this month for money off of the purchase of their hot dogs. We really do like these, it’s my husband’s favorite brand. Nothing else compares to him. I have to admit that now when I try to eat Oscar Meyer they just don’t taste as good.
Ball Park recently launched their Facebook page, feel free to check it out, become a fan (or “like”) and watch videos of Robin Paul, mother of NBA superstar, Chris Paul, where she speaks about the secrets to her sons success as part of the Ball Park "Taste of Success" program!
You can also find some really great recipes using the hot dogs. I grew up with a recipe called Creepy Weenies.
I lb of bacon
1 package of 12 hot dogs
1 14.5 oz can of diced tomatoes
Garlic
2 cups of brown rice un cooked
Cook Bacon, cut up into chunks, cook rice according to directions. Cut up hot dogs into chunks, Heat up Tomatoes and garlic and hot dog chunks. Then add the rice and bacon and it’s quite yummy. Not so healthy but it’s one of my favorites.
Recipe from the site:
Cheesy Chili Dog Macaroni Bake:
1 cup elbow macaroni
1 can (15 oz.) prepared chili with beans
4 Ball Park® Franks, cut into 1/2-inch pieces
1 can (14.5 oz.) diced tomatoes

1 cup crushed corn chips
Directions:

French Meadow Bakery makes natural baked goods, like special breads, gluten free, and even natural cookie dough. They are sold at stores like Whole Foods which is out of the way for me to shop at. I haven’t made a special trip out to Whole Foods to try them yet so I want to share all of my coupons with my readers. French Meadow started when Lynn Gordon was teaching a cooking class and pondering a new recipe for bread that would accommodate her special diet. She could not eat bread with yeast and sugar. That is how French Meadow Bakery was born. They use natural ingredients and no artificial colors or preservatives.

Our summer BBQ will be great! We’ll friends over to use the pool & canoe on the lake, then we’ll bbq with fresh meats & veggies & relax with wine afterward.
We would have music and use brightly colored serving plates, cups and cutlery. The tables would be overflowing with food because we always send people home with leftovers.
Grilling Hot Dogs and those really good Sirloin Burgers from Costco in the backyard with the entire family playing games and just hanging out in some beautiful weather!

We live on a lake, so we would cook some hot dogs, hamburgers, and chicken out by the deck.
My party would be just a few friends getting together for a barbecue – corn on the cob and sliced potatoes on the grill would be additional foods served.
Thanks for the giveaway!
