For me, summer weekends are all about grilling, preferably with a cocktail in hand. I grill everything from chicken thighs to veggie kabobs, but nothing hits quite like a classic hot dog. So I was instantly intrigued when one of my favorite TikTok accounts, Mama Jill, shared how she marinates and seasons her hot dogs before grilling them. After seeing how good her finished hot dogs looked, I immediately knew I had to try this trick for myself.

As much as I would like to be one of those girls who has time to make a full breakfast each morning, complete with a French press and fresh croissant, many days I am flying out the door and just try to make time to stop for a quick breakfast on my way to work. But a daily trip to Panera for a breakfast sandwich can be expensive, and with so many options in the grocery store aisle, it can feel overwhelming or it all might just look the same. So if you're looking for a speedy breakfast that won't eat up all your time on those hectic weekday mornings, I've got you covered. I tried sandwiches from 10 popular brands, and here are the best breakfast sandwiches that I think are worth trying out for yourself.

Frankly, there's never a bad time for a hot dog. And that means that you should keep a few packs in stock that can be thrown on the grates or roasted around a campfire at a moment's notice. Even if you don't have a way to cook up a few franks outdoors, you can still enjoy a charred brat by using your oven's broiler or air fryer, as long as you monitor the hot dog's progress carefully.

According to Shakey's website, this pizza parlor is only in California, North Carolina, and Washington state in the U.S. now. This was my family's go-to pizza joint when my father was stationed with the Air Force outside of Omaha, Nebraska. We liked it so much, that when we were transferred again, it was hopeful we'd find another one.

Cookout season is among us, which means it's time to pick up hamburgers and hot dogs at the grocery store, fire up the grill, and get cooking. This also means it's time to stock up on buns, and that's where you might run into a little snag: It's way too easy to end up with a lot of extra hot dog buns, especially if you bought them in bulk for a large group. You don't want to toss them all out, but maybe you tried to freeze and defrost leftovers before and found the results to be less than palatable. Is there any way to save these buns, or are they a lost cause?
