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 (4 oz.) shredded mild cheddar cheese, divided
1 cup crushed corn chips
Directions:
Preheat oven to 350°F. Prepare macaroni according to package directions; drain.
Combine chili, franks and tomatoes in medium saucepan. Cook and stir over medium heat until hot. Stir in macaroni and ½ cup of the cheese.
Spoon into a 2-quart baking dish; cover. Bake for 20 minutes. Remove cover and top with remaining cheese combined with corn chips. Bake for 10 minutes or until hot.

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.

I love to grill a mixed variety for picnics, hotdogs, hamburgers, brats!
Our party would consist of tons of things on the grill (hotdogs, hamburgers, kabobs), we would have watermelon for dessert and maybe some summertime fruit sangria for the adults, and have it around the pool so you could cool off in the water when it got too hot! 🙂

We are Texans, so there’s a lot of meat on the grill, a lot of BBQ sauce nearby, and most important of all, mosquito repellent so our guests don’t get carried away!
We’d have chicken kabobs with veggies and pineapple over rice and strawberry shortcake for dessert.

Definitely poolside!
It’d be low key with someone for everyone (including vegetarians). Plenty of fresh summer fruits, lemonade and other drinks, and of course, tons of food (meat, chicken, fish, shrimp, mushrooms, etc) on the grill.

I host a cookout at my house atleast once every two weeks. we have a blast. the waterslide and pool are all hooked up for the kiddos, and all the adults sit around talking, laughing and having a blast. We love to cookout and it brings us all together. there is nothing like hotdogs, burgers, ribs and steaks followed by dessert ( usually homemade with icecream on the side) and lemonade ( or specialty drinks)

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!

The best summer picnic has to have watermelon!!
We usually do bratwurst, burgers and chicken. Then lots of side dishes: pasta salad, potato salad, baked beans, fresh fruit, corn on the cob.
A potluck but I would bring the meat!
It would be a cookout in the backyard with lots of bratwursts, hamburgers, swordfish and chicken grilling. There would be lots of lemonade and watermelon.
It would be loads of fun with lots of homemade food.
