I am so glad summer is here! Earlier this week I hosted a super easy and fun summer kick off party with Chicago Dogs, and I wanted to share a few simple tips for making your next party a success. I love to host parties but I hate to still be in the kitchen cooking when my friends arrive. I'm always looking for ways to get the food and fun prepped before the party starts.
The key to an easy summer kick off party is a simple, tasty and fun menu. I decided on Chicago Dogs, potato chips and blueberry mint lemonade. I love this menu because it's just a little different than the average hot dog and burger summer menu plus it adds a lot of fun flavors. I used Hebrew National All-Beef Franks because they are super tasty and really pack a punch with flavor. See below for our Chicago Dog recipe + our simple blueberry mint lemonade.

Chicago Dogs are super simple to make, they just require a handful of toppings that you probably even have in your fridge. First grill your hot dogs and your buns then drizzle with mustard. Next add sliced tomato to one side and a pickle spear to the other side. Top with a few banana peppers, relish and chopped onion. Sprinkle the top with celery salt and you have yourself a delicious Chicago dog - perfect for any summer party!
I hope you enjoy these delicious Chicago Dogs and Blueberry Mint Lemonade! xo, Bri
