Bacon Bacon BACON! & of course Bacon Wrapped Chicken Dogs

Being a Celiac (as difficult and frustrating as it can be) isn't as bad once you know what's SAFE for you. This is usually done a lot easier when you're at home cooking for yourself. But as the weather is beginning to warm up and grills are starting to come out of hybernation, heading out to BBQ's and the like, it can be a little nerve wrecking. Being prepared beforehand can alleviate all of these nerves. I like to pack my own essentials before heading out so at least I know #1: I won't be starving while trying to enjoy the festivities and #2: I don't risk a cross contamination episode. I also wrap items I need to heat up in foil so that I can add them to the grill and avoid any cross contamination from the grill as well. Of course if you're going somewhere there's a microwave I make sure to pack items in a microwavable container to ensure the same thing.

Today's recipe is one of my BBQ-bring-along favorites! Of course it's just as delicious when you're in the mood for a hot dog at home while wishing for warmer weather (as I was last night :D)! Perfect with Udi's Gluten Free Hot Dog Buns but equally great with a bowl of steaming hot rice (the islander in me just can't resist sometimes :D)! So here's a family recipe I'm passing onto you...ENJOY! Happy cooking and better eating y'all...

Bacon Wrapped Turkey Dogs:
4 Foster Farms Chicken Hot Dogs (Cut length wise to create pocket - DO NOT CUT ALL THE WAY THROUGH!)
4 strips Oscar Mayer Turkey Bacon
4 toothpicks (broken in half)
1/2 cup shredded cheddar cheese
4 tablespoons sweet relish
1 tablespoon OrganicVille Gluten Free Yellow Mustard

**Preheat oven to BROIL**

- Mix cheese, relish and mustard together until well combined.
- Divide mixture between hot dogs, filling each completely.

- Wrap bacon around each hot dog; securing with toothpick half.

- Place in baking dish and broil until cheese is bubbling and brown.
Make sure to remove toothpicks before serving.

Pack these up in foil and throw the on the grill once you get to your party desitnation. Bring along your own rice or gluten free hot dog buns (try Udi's Gluten Free Hot Dog Buns) and pack along some Terra Chips and a WOW! Oregon Oatmeal Cookie for dessert and you're all set :D
