National Hot Dog Day: WIN a #Wienervention Kit from @Applegate!

Applegate is known for their delicious natural and organic meats. Up until recently, I couldn't buy their products locally but am so happy that a couple of my stores are now carrying their yummy products - including their cheeses, lunch meats, bacon, frozen foods, and hot dogs.

Lets be real here for a minute: Hot dogs are not exactly considered "good food". We all know the brands out there that make the mystery meat logs and it can be... scary to think about. Sodium nitrates... meat hooves... antibiotics... hormones... Ick! However, they're delicious. I can't resist a grilled dog in the summer time.

That's why I'm thankful for Applegate! Their hot dogs are natural, gluten free, contain no fillers, no antibiotics are used on the animals and they're humanely raised. 

They're challenging everyone to get clean with "the cleaner wiener" by starting a #Wienervention! If you tweet or post photos with the hashtag, you could win a YEAR SUPPLY of cleaner wieners from Applegate! Not only that, since July 23rd is National Hot Dog Day, I'm giving away a #Wienervention Kit to get you started! {Enter below.}


When our kit arrived, Little Miss and I were so excited to check out its contents!

Our kit included a set of new grilling tools, skewers, Susty paper straws and napkins, an Applegate "Wienervener" apron, mini Applegate cooler, frisbee, hot dog trays, Applegate Natural Uncured Beef Hot Dogs, Rick's Pickle Relish, Annie's Organic Mustard, Annie's Organic Ketchup, and Rudi's Hot Dog Buns (both white and gluten-free).

This past Sunday, we spent the day at the beach. Our first time getting out there this summer. Sad to say, we live 45 minutes from Lake Michigan and just don't get out there enough! We're always so busy or the weather just doesn't cooperate when we're able. 

After a day in the sun (getting unpacked and showered up), I knew it was the perfect evening to grill out and enjoy our #wienervention


Clearly, I don't get to grill enough - the fella usually takes pride in handling those duties. I was rather excited. lol

The Applegate dogs cook quick and I noticed they hold together much nicer than other brands - usually they tend to split or bust when grilling, it seems.


Of course my adorable sous chef had to get in on the action. ;) I let her wear the apron and help me turn the hot dogs on the grill (supervised, of course). 

For the rest of our meal, we had organic corn and watermelon on the side to go with our yummy Applegate Hot Dogs and Rudi's Buns. 


It was great for us because we were able to throw more hot dogs on the grill and share with the neighbors! Lots of delicious organic toppings and soft buns to go around.


Little Miss and the fella aren't big on relish... but it's my faaaaaavorite. I can't have a hot dog without it! 

I am one of those people who will sneak to the fridge and eat it with a fork right out of the jar. True story.

Thankfully, we already buy Annie's Organic Ketchup and so the ketchup and mustard were a huge hit with everyone. Myself included. 


I must say I'm impressed and we will be making the switch to The Cleaner Wiener. It's not only better for my family, but better tasting and more filling!

Don't forget to join the conversation online! Tweet or post photos with the hashtag #wienervention and be entered to WIN a year supply of Applegate's Cleaner Wieners! There are also printable coupons on their website so you can start grilling today. 

Right now, you can enter to win a #Wienervention Kit of your very own thanks to Applegate

Enter via the rafflecopter widget below. One winner will be randomly selected at the end of the contest. They will have 24 hours to respond and claim their prize. Prizes will be sent to the winner directly from Applegate. US mailing addresses only. Thank you!

  16. I only eat Applegate hotdogs (except on rare occasions when I'm at picnics and I'm hungry). My favorite way to have them is with Annie's Homegrown Macaroni and Cheese (usually the Whole Wheat Shells and White Cheddar with added broccoli and/or spinach). I've never been a bun and hotdog fan, but now that I found hotdogs I like, maybe I'll try cooking some over the fire pit and I'll serve them with mustard (some good spicy brown or dijon mustard).

    And, honestly, I'm also a little curious about the Gluten Free buns. I've been wanting to try GF bread, but it's too expensive to buy just to try it, so winning this would be fun.

  20. Applegate hotdogs are the only hotdogs we eat- my son has food allergies and every other kind make him sick. I know it's weird, but I love them with shredded cheese and diced pineapple. SOOOO GOOD! Everyone thinks it's gross until they try it. ;)
