Hogs In A Blanket
We are a baseball family. My grandfather loves Dodger baseball, and so does my fiance. These are the two men in my life that I will be celebrating this Father’s Day. I know for a fact that both my Grandpa and my Honey Bunny want to stay home and lounge for a day of baseball (yes, the Dodgers are playing that day). I decided to make our Father’s Day menu a ballpark theme. There will be caramel popcorn, salted nuts, chocolate malts in a cup, and hogs in a blanket. These two sports fans will be HOG wild about the idea.
The best part about this whole plan is I could buy EVERYTHING I need to make my Father’s Day celebration happen at Walmart! That allows me less time running around from store to store and more time spent with my lovely family. Plus making hogs in a blanket is so easy and can be done in no time at all. It gives any baseball viewing game at home the perfect vibe of being in the stadium. All you have to do is serve with mustard, a pickle on a the side, and you got a perfect bite size treat. Hooray!
Happy Father’s Day to all the dads who work hard to raise their children right.
