Bryan Foods: Nothing Says Summer Like the Grill {Review & Giveaway}

When I think of summer my mind automatically goes to thinking about grilling out on the grill. Whether we're at the beach, watching fireworks somewhere or hanging out with friends--the grill is our constant companion. My husband loves all things related to the BBQ--and further more he loves grilling out for his family and friends.

I recently had the opportunity to try out Bryan Foods Juicy Jumbos Hot Dogs. Isabella and I are both hot dog lovers--I love mine with mustard and she loves hers plain--and sometimes with some ketchup depending on her mood that day. Their hot dogs were delicious! They were the perfect length for our buns and were so flavorful--they were so good! I was so happy that our local base commissary {grocery store on base} carried them because now I have a good and tasty hot dog that I can buy for our future BBQ's.

Not a hot dog fan? Bryan Foods has a variety of different products available! They offer cocktail smokies, breakfast sausages, corn dogs, smoked sausage, ham, and lunch meat. Their products are perfect for a variety of get togethers--and to help you prepare for that next BBQ or special occasion, they have recipes to help you prepare and get your menu together.

Bryan Sausage {A Winey Mommy Review and Giveaway} CLOSED

With the holidays arriving shortly you can imagine the amount of party planning that is going on right now.  I know my house is so busy planning our Christmas party!  We have been so excited to plan everything from the decorations, to if we want to play any games or not, to the menu.

Out of everything our menu is the most important to me.  I know when I go to a party the one thing that I always remember is the food.  Our menu this year is going to be based on simplicity.  We're doing the appetizers, the others will bring one of their favorite dishes--and nothing too fancy.  I want everyone to feel at home here.

When I was contacted by Bryan Foods to see if I would be interested in sampling their different sausages I was so happy!  It gave me the chance to try out a product before cooking it for my party.  I was sent their smoked sausage, their cocktail smokies and an nice black apron with the Bryan Foods logo.  The apron will come in very handy for when I'm prepping and cooking up a storm for all of my mommas that will be coming over to eat and have fun!

This past week we cooked up the Bryan Foods smoked sausage.  It. was. sooo good!  Leo loved it, Isabella loved it and I loved it--and it's not every day around here that we all agree on something to eat.  It had just the right kick to it--and living in the South we love our food to have some of a kick to it.  I truly believe that's why the Bryan Foods logo is 'The Flavor of the South'--because it's true!  So good, so yummy.  I can't wait to use the smokies for my pigs in a blanket that I'll be serving up at my party.  I know that they will be a big hit with the girls.

***WIN***

Bryan Foods has been so gracious to offer one of my lucky readers a chance to win the same party pack that I won!  It includes cocktail smokies, smoked sausage and the black apron--awesome, right?

So now that you know what you can win, here's how you can win it.

***ENTER***

To win, just visit Bryan Foods and tell me what product looks the best to you and what type of occassion you would serve it at.  Easy!  This must be done before any bonus entries will count.
