Well, hello to some of my favorite people 🙂  It has been far, far too long.  My only excuse is that it has been quite a busy summer for the Coatney family…

We moved to a new home – one that can fit far more people than our tiny studio.  We are excited for the parties we will get to host here!

I also went to a wonderful doctor earlier in the summer to get some insight on the problems that still seem to linger even after eating Paleo for almost two years.  So far, so many answers have been given – which I am so thankful for.  An essential part of the treatment plan that I have been given is an even stricter diet than Paleo.  It’s called The Restoration Diet.  It has definitely stunted my creativity in the kitchen at times…leading to less blog inspiration.  But I am already starting to improve! So there is hope.

So let’s see, what else is new?  Oh yeah!

It’s the summer of the WIENERVENTION!!

Brought to you by Applegate.  

What is this Wienervention you ask?  WELL – it is a call for GOOD, HEALTHY hot dogs and NO more mystery meat.  What better day for this call than National Hot Dog Day!

One of my nightmares growing up was going to a cookout and finding the only menu item to be hot dogs.  Can I have ketchup with a little bit of hot dog please? Seriously, I used to hate hot dogs. This changed the day I stumbled upon Applegate’s Organic Grass-fed Beef hot dogs.  Ingredients?  Beef, water, and spices.  That’s all!  AND guess what these hot dogs taste like…?  Delicious beef!

These hot dogs are so good I eat them plain.  Right out of the fridge. 🙂 YUM.

And they are good enough to be the star of any cook out.

Applegate sent me this wonderful outdoor cookout kit!  So what I did with it?  I, of course, had a cookout, and invited the best hot dog eaters I know – my family.  Starring the two best eaters I know…

Brother

Husband

They were blown away by just how GOOD these hot dogs are.  The AWESOME condiments and buns Applegate sent were just icing on the cake (I mean hot dog!)  These included: Rick’s Relish, Annie’s Mustard, Annie’s Ketchup, and Rudi’s Gluten-Free Buns!

All of this to create one DELICIOUS masterpiece of a hot dog….

Of course, I have to mention the grilling tools, the apron, the adorable cooler, the napkins, the straws, the frisbee and the hot dog holders!!
