National Hot Dog Day

Today is National Hot Dog Day and Vanilla Ice Cream Day! Ok, they seem like a weird combination when put in the same sentence, but one can be for lunch or dinner and the other for dessert.

If you need some food ideas to help mark this outstanding oddball holiday, here are a few:

• Hot Dogs
• Mummified Hot Dogs. We made these at Halloween, but they can be a fun treat anytime.
• Bacon Wrapped Hot Dogs
• Squidy Dogs
• Octopus Hot Dogs. These go great with a serving of Mac 'n Cheese!
• Vanilla Ice Cream
• Make your own ice cream in a bag!
• Use vanilla ice cream to make: Mint Shakes, Peppermint Shakes
• If you still have snow where you live, try making Snow Cream!

What's your favorite way to eat a hot dog?
