I just found out that July is National Hot Dog Month.
Where have I been? It’s almost the middle of July and I’m just now finding this out?
MY fave dogs are all-beef hot dogs. It’s just how I roll. The flavor is outstanding and these are my pick for “Top Dog.”
How about you? Are you a hot dog fan? Will you be celebrating all month long?
July is just full of celebrations, isn’t it?

So, we’re back in the real world after a wonderful visit to Florida’s Gulf coast. It was well worth all of the wondering and worrying and ultimately the decision to keep our plans.
The area was beautiful and people seemed genuinely happy to have us there. That’s always nice, right? To have people happy you’re there?
We always like to cook in our little rental when we travel there because we like what we like and — well — we’re kind of picky.
As I’ve done for the past few years, I had an order of some of my faves sent to me there and let me tell you we were not disappointed.
Isn’t it beautiful?
The first meal we cooked was an all-beef franks extravaganza. Can’t go wrong with that, I say.
We were like Burger King — you could totally have it your way. Plain, ketchup, mustard, spicy mustard, relish, cheese . . . anything.
We cooked these babies on our trusty George Foreman grills indoors. The place smelled so good!
Cooking for a bunch of hungry vacationers sort of makes you well-liked. And I liked earning my place at the top of the food chain (so to speak) every night. It makes everyone happy when Mama’s happy.
More scrumptious meals from our week later!
So, my long-awaited package arrived yesterday. I can now cook the things I crave . . .
My order of Vidalia onion steakburgers, all-beef hot dogs and Kansas City strip steaks has arrived! And our vacation spot in Ft. Walton Beach, FL, is the perfect place to enjoy our favorite meals.
Oh, and that’s my son’s service dog — Marley — he goes everywhere with us now. He commandeered his favorite spot the moment we got here and he hasn’t left since. There’s so much to see!
The weather is beautiful, the beach is beautiful and our dinner tonight is going to be heavenly.
Stay tuned for my report on our “Steaks on the Beach.” They’re gonna be fabulous!
Hi! My name is Dena P., and I love steak. In fact, I’ve been on a quest for the perfect steak for a few years now.
I love experimenting with food and I like to get my family, friends and neighbors involved. They add a lot to my cooking experience by helping me perfect techniques and sharing recipes.
