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!
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!!

Tina says: Looks so yummmmmy!!! Shall I teach grandma about grilling hot dogs? 🙂
If I won I’d have a hot dog party, of course! Everyone would have to come dressed as hot dogs!
Michelle says: Hi Emily! I was diagnosed with Celiac Disease! It’s been a rough road, but gluten free food and the gluten free lifestyle has won me over (not that I have a choice)! I would use this amazing kit to win my family over too! I’d have a cookout using the kit to show that gluten free isn’t tasteless cardboard! I’d prove that it is flavorful and delicious! I wouldn’t tell anyone that it’s all gluten free, then I’d suprise them at the end! 🙂 Thank you for the great blog and thanks for considering me for the wiener kit!! 🙂
I love love love hotdogs! I would have a wiener roast with all my friends and family in order to celebrate my 8 year wedding anniversary in August 🙂
it’s 7:45am and those photos make the hotdogs look so good that I would eat it now. at 7:45a. I am thinking a hot dog party would be in order, were I to win. I really love other applegate products but haven’t tried the hot dogs yet!
Yum!! I’d have a hot dog party and introduce myself and my friends to some great new gluten-free options. I always buy the same things but would love to incorporate some new GF alternatives in my diet. 🙂
Yay! Applegate hot dogs are a staple in our house! I would probably use the kit to have a bbq! Most people have no idea how good these hot dogs are! 😉
Yum! I thought I would never eat a hot dog again, until I found these at Trader Joes! In a few weeks, I’m heading off to the mountains with family, for some hiking and grilling out. Would definitely use this kit to do it up right! 🙂
Stephanie K says: Would love to share these with some of my extended family who haven’t tried these yummy dogs!
manda says: Host a party! yum
Karey at Nutty About Health says: I would LOVE this kit! I’m a huge fan of the Applegate wieners as well. 😉
I’d use this kit to grill up a delicious dinner with my husband.
Karey at Nutty About Health says: I’m already following you on Twitter – would love to win! 🙂
Family picnic! That way I’ll be able to introduce all my family and friends to Applegate and Annies products! Love them! Twitter follower here! Great post!
I follow you on twitter with name: @lil_lady_dz & I would use this kit for our next BBQ out on the lake with family.

Jillian Zellner says: I so need this kit in my life! Not gonna lie, we are BIG applegate consumers in my household already but I’m pretty sure my Celiac toddler NEEDS to eat his hot dogs out of applegate holders and he NEEDS his own apron. So stinking cute!
Stasia says: Since summer will be winding down I would host an end of the summer party and grill out with all my Louisville peeps! 🙂 They will learn to eat better too!
Donna says: We also just moved into a new home this past month. We have a great patio area and can’t wait to entertain. These would be great for our first grill out.
Matt says: Oh, the backed BBQ I would have! Mmm I love Applegate on the grill! So good! Family, friends, drinks and a Wienervention – OH MY!!!!
Tailgates are king in Wisconsin and I would love to take this with me to the ballpark!!
Jennifer Essad says: I’d send out invites to the neighbors for a “back to school” barbeque – we all love to get together when we can and this would be a great way to introduce them to #Wienervention – thanks for a chance
