Do you know what blueberries, hot dogs, horseradish
and ice cream have in common? You’re probably thinking
- what a strange combination, but we can celebrate the
month of July with all of these food items.
Using my handy dandy Metro calendar which lists the
Web sites for hot dogs (National Hot Dog and Sausage
Council - www.hot-dog.org) and North American Blueberry
Council, I discovered lots of useful information and recipes to share.
Americans eat 7 billion hot dogs during peak season,
from Memorial Day to Labor Day. That’s 818 hot dogs per

Feature of
the Week :
1/2 cup honey mustard
8 hot dogs
8 hot dog buns, split
Toss chopped apples with fresh lemon juice to prevent apple from
turning brown. Add mustard and mix well. Cover and chill until mealtime.
Preheat a gas or charcoal grill for the direct grilling method, using
medium heat. Cook hot dogs over direct medium heat to an internal
temperature of 165 degrees for 10-12 minutes. During last 3 to 4 minutes,
open hot dog buns and lightly toast them over indirect heat. Place hot
dogs into heated buns. Serve apple mustard salsa atop hot dogs.
second. Hot dogs are the favorite food consumed at
ballparks — only around 30 million will be sold in stadiums this year. Why are there 10 hot dogs per pack and
only eight buns per bag? That’s a good question, but
you’ll have to find the answer when you visit their Web
site. My thought was, if you should drop a hot dog or
two while grilling, you’ll still have enough buns. Check
it out ... very interesting.
I could go on and on about hot dogs but I have to
mention a few facts about blueberries also. Blueberry
is the most popular muffin flavor in the United States.
We can have fresh blueberries all year-round. During
our winter months, they come fresh from Chile and
Argentina (it’s summertime there). A single bush produces as many as 6,000 blueberries a year. There are
only 30 calories per cup, with virtually no fat, and they
are an excellent source of Vitamin C.
Thanks to Tom at the National Hog Dog and Sausage
Council and Mark at the North American Blueberry
Council for allowing me to share these recipes.
Enjoy!
It takes the best in each of us to bring
out the best in all of us!
