TO FINDING THE WORLD

30 MOMS AND MUNCHKINS

Cheryl Kirkness

Note from our Editor Who inspires you? Who makes you want to be a better version of yourself? Who sparks creativity in you?

Who lifts you up in times of need? Who makes you smile?

I hope that each of you reading this have someone in your life who encourages you to do wonderful things and who is there for you when you need it most. Maybe they are someone who gives a little push to get out the door and go for the run you have been putting off, or maybe they are someone who watches your kids when you need a break. But perhaps they are there something more.

In this month’s feature article, Michelle Ehmann’s story of survival sheds light on an issue that deserves more attention and conversation. As uncomfortable as it is to talk about domestic abuse, Michelle’s story proves that it can happen to anyone, but that anyone can succeed in getting out with the right support system.

After reading this month’s issue of Pink, I encourage you all to listen carefully to your friends when they ask for help, open your hearts and homes to someone who might need a safe haven and be a great friend -not just say you are- in case someone truly needs one.

MICHELLE EHMANN REASONS TO SMILE by: Jessica Reimer

6 |

FOR SASKATCHEWAN WOMEN | VOL. 5 ISSUE 8, AUGUST 2016

There are countless benefits to smiling: smiles have been proven to positively affect mood, reduce stress, strengthen immune system responses, increase empathy, and bolster confidence.

sive relationship, but that choice was not without cost: emotional abuse left her feeling weak, vulnerable, and compromised, and physical abuse marred her face and body.

Between the ages of sixteen and twenty-one, Michelle Ehmann was trapped in a toxic and abusive relationship, one that robbed her of her self-esteem, self-worth, and much of her social support network. Friends and family were disheartened by what became a dangerous pattern: Michelle would make feeble attempts to break free of her relationship, only to return a short while later with renewed hope that “the next time would be better.” As the physical, emotional, and verbal abuse continued, Michelle found herself smiling less and less.

“Bruises go away,” she explained, “but there are a lot of other things that simply don’t, that stay with you forever.”

“I felt ashamed most of the time,” she confesses. “My support system was like a circle that was broken in so many spots. As much as you try to hide what’s happening, it affects everyone around you.”

With each successive cycle of abuse, Michelle was forced to balance a minority of fleeting, happy memories against a storm of arguments and unlawful behaviours. For five years, the former managed to outweigh the latter, but not because Michelle was unaware of or blind to the consequences of her decision. Inner turmoil and anxiety stemmed from her recognizing that choosing to stay in the relationship was both unhealthy and unsafe.

“Like most people, I never set out or planned to be caught up in that kind of situation,” she shares. “I was a straight ‘A’ student in high school, but my relationship forced me to put my studies to the wayside. When you’re in that kind of relationship, you know it’s wrong to stay, but it’s also so tough to leave. You start to feel

During one particularly violent episode, one of Michelle’s front teeth was dislodged from its socket, causing the root to die and her tooth to discolour. Deterred and discouraged by the cost of dental repairs, Michelle felt she had no choice but to live with this physical reminder of her former life.

“Every time I looked in the mirror, even after I left him, I was forced to remember everything I had been through,” she says.

Years after the incident, Michelle pursued a referral from a colleague that led her to a Regina Dentist. After assessing the extent of the damage to Michelle’s teeth, jaw, head, and neck, the dentisit deemed her a model candidate for the American Academy of Cosmetic Dentistry’s charitable program, Give Back a Smile (GBAS).

GBAS’s mandate is simple: restore a smile, restore a life. Since its inception in May 1999, approximately 1,500 male and female survivors of domestic and sexual violence have received compassionate cosmetic dental work and support programs totaling more than $15 million. Dentists across North America donate time and expertise as a small but significant gesture to help patients on the road to recovery.

“A smile is a powerful thing,” says Michelle, who, after her dental injury, felt self-conscious and uncomfortable every time she smiled. “The fact of the matter is that a smile does a lot for your

I felt ashamed most of the time. My support system was like a circle that was broken in so many spots. As much as you try to hide what’s happening, it affects everyone around you. like there’s no way out.”

Stories like Michelle’s are not uncommon: according to the Canadian Women’s Foundation, about half of all Canadian women have experienced at least one episode of physical or sexual abuse. A staggering 66 percent of these women become victims of abuse before the age of twenty-four.

Domestic violence represents about 12 percent of violent crime in Canada; however, because so many incidents go unreported and perpetrators escape conviction, the actual incidence rate of abuse in Canada is likely much higher than statistics suggest.

Saskatchewan is not exempt from this significant social issue: in 2011, the provincial rate of police-reported violence against women nearly doubled the national average.

Michelle did eventually succeed in liberating herself from her abu-

self-esteem and credibility. My dentist gave me back my selfworth; he is a down-to-earth person who cares about his work and is very passionate about what he does.”

GBAS applicants must undergo a rigorous intake process and meet several ongoing eligibility criteria. The program involves regular meetings with certified counselors and an abundance of paperwork. Michelle explained that having to relive episodes of abuse was, for her, at the same time traumatic and cathartic: traumatic because she was forced to come to terms with what had happened, and cathartic because it affirmed she had made the right decision to walk away.

Michelle expressed immense gratitude to her dentist and his team for alleviating the administrative burden by taking a lead role in compiling reports and submitting the paperwork necessary to maintain her eligibility for the program.

FOR SASKATCHEWAN WOMEN | VOL. 5 ISSUE 8, AUGUST 2016 | 7

I didn’t know where to turn when everything was happening to me. It’s important to get educated about possible avenues so that you don’t allow yourself to continue to be subjected to that kind of treatment from someone else.

“My dentist is one of the most gentle, caring, and thoughtful people I’ve ever met and I can’t thank him and his team enough for what they did for me. He is an immaculate dentist.”

Over the course of her four and a half years with her dentist and the GBAS program, Michelle estimated the total amount of pro-bono dental services—including jaw realignment, braces, veneers, and a battery of examinations—to be in excess of $20,000. Although the program did not cover ancillary services such as physiotherapy and acupuncture, Michelle absorbed these costs without issue, considering them an investment in her mental and physical wellbeing. This treatment was completed in 2014 and Michelle no longer sees the reminders of her former traumas when she smiles in the mirror.

Michelle also spoke to the difficulties inherent in reasserting her independence and redefining her sense of self after years of being made to feel worthless and small. She often felt undeserving of the kindness and care she received from friends, family, and healthcare professionals, and was hesitant to accept and invite love back into her life after meeting her now-husband, Jacob.

She explained that Jacob’s patience, understanding, and tenderness were formative parts of her rehabilitation.

“I used to say ‘sorry’ all the time because it became natural for me to feel like I was doing something wrong, that I was inferior.

Jacob was patient and didn’t give up on me. His support is immeasurable and it helped me shift my perspective and see things differently.”

Now happily married with three children, ages 12, 6, and 4, Michelle and Jacob live and work in the small community of Holdfast, SK. The couple manages JE Ranch (jeranch.ca; (306) 4884408), a homestead that has been in Jacob’s family for more than 100 years. Services offered include riding lessons, clinics, goats, horse boarding, and 4H opportunities.

Prior to relocating to the country, Michelle lived her “high-heeled life” in Regina worried about a chance encounter with her former partner and members of his family. Adjusting to her new environment came naturally, and she is happier today than she ever dreamed possible.

“I felt like it was meant to be and knew I was now in the right place with the right person,” she shares.

Michelle finds working with animals personally and professionally rewarding. Indeed, research celebrates the many benefits the human-animal bond affords to survivors of abuse: animals promote healthy attachment behaviours, boost mental stability, and 8 |

FOR SASKATCHEWAN WOMEN | VOL. 5 ISSUE 8, AUGUST 2016

combat depression and anxiety.

“I honestly believe that moving [to Holdfast] saved my life,” she says. “My life today is created, not dictated. I’ve been given the tools to grow stronger every day. I will never forget what happened, but I have a new life that I’m wrapped up in and I know that I’m safe.”

By sharing her story, Michelle hopes to remove some of the stigma and misconceptions that surround domestic and sexual abuse. From her experience, people tend to become tense and uneasy when the conversation shifts to abuse; although some discomfort is to be expected given the nature of the topic, Michelle contends that an open dialogue about abuse is critical and has the capacity to save lives.

“Because of what I’ve experienced and the life I have now, I feel like I can offer help and let others know that they’re not alone,” she says. “By putting public voice to this issue, it lets my daughters know that if they ever found themselves in a similar situation, they can speak about it and can definitely come to me.”

One important misconception is the misguided belief that domestic and sexual abuse affects only certain vulnerable populations in Canada. This, Michelle explained, is wildly untrue; abusive acts occur regardless of age, income, culture, religion, and ethnicity.

“Abuse is very much around us,” she says. “It’s not limited to “rough” areas or certain groups of people. It’s everywhere, and it’s important that we create awareness about it.”

In addition to casting light on the prevalence and pervasive nature of abuse, Michelle supports initiatives that educate the general public and serve to connect survivors with appropriate services and resources.

“I didn’t know where to turn when everything was happening to me,” she confesses. “It’s important to get educated about possible avenues so that you don’t allow yourself to continue to be subjected to that kind of treatment from someone else.”

Over time, Michelle has patched many of the “broken spots” in her support system and is thankful to have a collection of kindhearted, understanding people to lean on in times of need. However, she understands that many others are not so fortunate, and so she issues a call to action to friends and family members whose loved ones are suspected or confirmed victims of abuse.

“Do not let go of them,” she insists. “When you do, it reverts that person back into the cycle. If nobody is there, they will feel like there’s no way to get out. Hang on and be that support system.

Your strength can really make a difference.”

A Lineup of Investment Moves Worth Considering CREATE YOUR PERSONAL LEGACY

We all wish the world could be a better place for our children and our children’s children. Yet, we have so little control over what happens as the world becomes a more unstable place to live.

So, what can we do?

One thing in our control is creating a legacy gift for the Sandra Schmirler Foundation in your will.

This is a wonderful and generous thing to do. The Sandra Schmirler Foundation has donated millions of dollars for the purchase of life-saving equipment for babies born premature and critically ill, in Saskatchewan and right across Canada.

Nothing says “summer” more than barbeques, beaches and baseball.

The crack of a ball against the bat and the cheers of the crowd amplify the tremendous amount of skill and teamwork that is poured into a season. This same approach of teamwork - combining different talents to form a collection of skills towards a common effort - can be found in other endeavors, one of which is investing.

Here, then, is one possible lineup of investment moves to consider: Diversify. All investments have both benefits and risks. As an investor, your goal is to help maximize the benefits and minimize the risks — and one of the best ways to do this is by diversifying your money across a range of assets.

Diversifying can help you reduce the impact of market volatility that might affect your portfolio if all your money was tied up in one particular asset class, and that asset went through a “down” period. Keep in mind, though, that diversification, by itself, cannot guarantee profits or protect against loss.

Rebalance. Even without your taking significant actions, your portfolio can evolve in ways that may not be to your liking. For example, if some of your more aggressive investments appreciate greatly, they may eventually constitute a larger percentage of your holdings than you had planned — and in doing so, elevate your overall risk level. To prevent this from happening, you should meet with your financial advisor periodically to “rebalance” your portfolio.

Seek quality. Many people latch onto “hot” investments, only to be disappointed when they “cool off.” Instead seek quality vehicles — the ones that generally lose the least ground when the market is down and recover more quickly when the market rallies. When you invest in stocks, for instance, look for those companies that have strong management teams, competitive products and good business models. When you purchase bonds, look for those with high ratings from the independent rating agencies.

Stay invested. It’s tempting to “take a breather” from investing when the financial markets are volatile. But if you stay on the investment sidelines, you may miss out on the beginning of the next market rally. If you’ve built a PMS 5535 diversified portfolio of quality vehicles, it may be easier to stay invested.

Know your risk tolerance. If you find yourself constantly fretting about the market’s ups and downs, to the extent that your worries are affecting the quality of your life, you may have a portfolio that’s unsuited to your risk tolerance.

Conversely, if you’re dissatisfied with the growth of your investments, you may be investing too cautiously, which could be a concern when you’re striving to reach long-term goals, such as a comfortable retirement. Ultimately, there’s no one “right” way for everyone to invest, but you do need to match your portfolio’s composition with your individual risk tolerance and time horizon.

DISCOUNTS, REBATES AND “PROGRAMS”, OH MY! “The Spring Selling Season is here and all of the manufacturers will be ramping up incentives. There are so many thrown around that even experts in the business have a hard time keeping up with them. Be aware that all available programs have conditions.

Some programs might only run for a few days in a month, so If you see the vehicle you’re interested in being advertised with incentives, be sure to bring the ad or a screenshot with you when you visit.”

BREAKING DOWN THE TERMINOLOGY: 1 Discounts apply before applicable taxes and represent the greatest savings component of the “drive away” price that was discussed in one of our previous articles.

2 Rebates are generally taken off after taxes are applied. Some rebates are only available to certain customers. Ex: the “truck loyalty” or “conquest” rebate that Ram is offering right now gives an extra $1500 rebate after tax only if you currently have a truck registered to you. Bear this in mind to avoid any disappointments.

3 Subvented interest rates, are offered on many makes and models. These can be as low as 0%. Often, when payments are advertised, they are shown using these subvented rates over a long term to make the

2016 Jeep Patriot High Altitude

payment as low as possible. The catch here is that you need to qualify for a subvented rate and that is based on credit history. The acronym ’O.A.C.’ (On Approved Credit) usually accompanies advertised payments with these programs. In other words, although the payment is offered to everyone, only those with acceptable credit history qualify to receive it.

Remember that discounts, rebates and subvented rates are usually mutually exclusive. This means one or the other is offered, but not both together.

4 ‘Stackable’ is the term used when all or many programs are added together to produce the greatest price reductions. When programs are stackable, that’s ‘Car shopping nirvana! You get the best of everything; big pre-tax cash discounts, after tax rebates, and subvented interest rates, all applied to the same vehicle purchase. Bear this in mind as you shop and be sure to ask not only about the program details, but if they are also ‘stackable’.

At Auto Clearing we have a Vehicle Buyer’s Checklist available on our site at www.autoclearing.com under the “Shopping” drop down menu on the homepage and also on all “View Details” inventory pages. …and, …Good luck with your shopping!

THE FITNESSPRENEUR, SUCCESS? with Holly Barker

“Wow, you are so successful! Congratulations on all your success!

How did you achieve success? I want to be successful like you!”

But what does success really mean to you?

Last month I launched my newest venture, TheFitnessPreneur.com Since then, I have had opportunities and conversations I could have never believed would be offered to me. I feel incredibly blessed, and think that there is no better time to write about this subject of ‘Success.’

Throughout my life, countless opportunities have come and gone, and I have had many trials and errors. I continue to grow, to learn, to change. As I begin this new venture and launch TheFitnessPreneur.com, everything seems consistent. All conversations, offers and opportunities are preceded with a gracious congratulations.

Has it happened? Am I a success?

I have had to consciously take a moment of self-reflection, as my husband and I often do, and I have come to the conclusion that, yes, I am a success. To be honest, I’m not sure when I haven’t been.

Growing up, I always viewed success in terms of financial prosperity, but as I become my most successful self, I realize that success is the sum of three parts that all equal this realization of achievement. Through continuing to get up and achieve, you can succeed each day!

The 3 components that equal achievement and ultimate success in my adventure are: resilience, tenacity and network.

Resilience: I believe that great success is realized through multiple failures. You may tilt your head and raise an eyebrow at that last statement, but no worries, you’ve read me correctly. It is only through failure that we learn and move forward. Success has been in my ability to get up, continue on, and resiliently find new ways, next goals and greater dreams to go after.

Tenacity: I believe that ultimate success is realized through persistently and consistently believing that the purpose is 14 |

much greater that the near sighted reward. Success is going after your visions and dreams. When you persistently and consistently live your message and create the life you live, you undoubtedly spread your message through all that you do.

Network: I believe that success is contagious and that there is enough success in this world for everyone to succeed. I believe in the power of network and the ability to feed off of great energy. To attract the energy that can move mountains, create limitless opportunities and to live dreams come true each day, I have found it is of utmost importance to surround yourself with the believers, the dreamers, the doers and the world changers.

Anything you dream can come true with resilience, tenacity and network, but it is up to you to dream a dream big enough to live the success within you. Through my resilience, tenacity and network I have found the purpose of my adventure. It was never to win, or to stay down when I fall, it was to experience and educate.

As a self-proclaimed FitnessPreneur - someone who is deeply passionate about business and fitness - I created www.thefitnesspreneur.com with a mission to help 1,000,000 people realize their success and to ultimately profit from their passions.

I am so excited that one of the aforementioned opportunities will be to speak to all of you this October at the Regina Fitness and Nutrition Expo. This is something I have never done before, and although I’m already nervous, I know it is the start to sharing my voice on another level, and it is the push I need to be even more successful.

Life is created outside of the comfort zone by always growing and always learning.

Thank-you so much for being a world changer and dream chaser along with me.

Happy August All!

Hair Curling 101 Curling your hair can sometimes feel intimidating. There are so many different ways and techniques that you can do, so where do you even start? What tools and hair products do you use?

Here are a few tricks and tips to help make your life easier when it comes to curling your hair.

First things first; no matter what hot tool or technique you decide to use, start with brushing your hair to remove any knots or tangles. Part your hair in sections. Curling your hair in sections will ensure that all of your hair has been curled/ textured. If your hair doesn’t hold curl well, wash your hair the day before. Curling your hair on freshly washed hair can sometimes leave your hair so soft and limp that it’s difficult to keep a curl. A little bit of dirt has never hurt anyone. When curling your hair, make sure to mist hairspray on every section before curling. This layering technique of hair spray will create strength in your style. Refrain from dousing your hair with copious amounts of spray at the end, as this can leave the hair damp and weighed down; the curl will not stand a chance.

By Joy Tesch at Visions Salon and Spa

wave or curl, make sure to use a bigger curling iron. Take hair in sections and wrap the hair around the iron, then hold for a few seconds. Release, then take the next section and wrap the hair around in the opposite direction. When curling all the hair in one direction, your hair will clump together and create the look of one big curl, so this alteration in curling will give you a better over all look.

I hope these tips help. Happy Hair Days! If you have any more questions feel free to email joyteschhair@gmail.com

Curling with a flat iron: Place your hair in-between the flat iron. Pull the flat iron down the hair shaft about half way down, then turn the iron and do one full 360 degree turn in slow motion. Make sure that all of your hair is still between the hot plates. If kinking occurs in the hair, try to do the motion again smoothly. Always work down the hair shaft.

Using a flat iron to curl is great for people that have naturally curly hair as the flat iron will reform the curl as well as remove any frizz.

Curling hair with a curling iron: When curling your hair with an iron, keep in mind that the smaller the iron, the tighter your curl will be. If you are looking for a looser

Five facts you probably didn’t know about Canadian fisheries (NC) A recent survey by Oceana Canada found that eight out of 10 of us agree that fishing is an important part of our Canadian identity. While you may think fishing is important, how much do you really know about Canadian fisheries? Read on to impress your friends and family by sharing these fun facts at your next cocktail party or gathering.

3. They’re part of our everyday life. Fishing weaves into Canadians’ lives in many ways — 53 per cent of us eat seafood regularly, 23 per cent of us fish for recreation and 8 per cent know someone who works in the commercial fishing sector. While men are more likely to fish recreationally, one in five Canadian women also enjoy the sport.

1. We are in the top 25 fish-producing countries in the world. Canada has the world’s longest coastline and is responsible for 2.76 million square kilometres of ocean. This real estate makes us one of the world’s major fishing nations, catching 1.1 million metric tonnes of fish each year and consistently ranking within the top 25 fish-producing countries in the world.

4. They’re in trouble. Canadian fish stocks are in bad shape — only 24 per cent are considered healthy, and the abundance of our marine stocks has declined by 55 per cent since 1970.

2. Our fisheries produce delicious and nutritious low-cost food. Wild seafood is a renewable resource that requires minimal freshwater to produce, emits little carbon dioxide, uses no arable land and produces a lean protein at a cost-per-pound that is lower than other animal proteins.

22 |

FOR SASKATCHEWAN WOMEN | VOL. 5 ISSUE 8, AUGUST 2016

5. You can help. Eat sustainable seafood by buying products certified by the Marine Stewardship Council or with the SeaChoice logo, or look for farmed fish approved by the Aquaculture Stewardship Council. Start a conversation with your loved ones in person or on social media, or join an organization that protects our fisheries, like Oceana Canada.

EXPLORING THE PARIS OF THE PRAIRIES

I realized few people explore the city they live in when I spent a year as the official travel blogger for Saskatchewan. Surprised at the number of places and activities I knew little about, I discovered as many exciting experiences in the 651, 900 square kilometres of Saskatchewan’s borders as I did traveling 53 countries on 6 continents. But the best part about local travel? The opportunity to support local businesses.

ties of the urban world for the last decade. Which is why I like to get back to my roots by exploring the Western Development Museum.

The size of a quarter section of land, it is ritual for locals to visit as youth and then later with their own children. But what isn’t as commonly known is that the museum houses 80,000 artifacts and has the largest farm machinery collection in Canada - a testament to our agriculture heritage in Saskatchewan.

Rooted in the open landscape of rolling fields of wheat, canola and flax is the Paris of the Prairies, or the city of Saskatoon. To inspire you to travel local, here are four interesting activities to enjoy the next time you visit the City of Bridges:

3. Segway ride along the Meewasin Valley Trails

1. Cruise the river on the Prairie Lily Excited to hop on board the Prairie Lily riverboat to travel between the shores of the South Saskatchewan River, I expected a tour of scenery and history. I was surprised to learn about the worst nautical disaster to occur within the province. In 1908, the SS City of Medicine Hat luxury paddle steamer sunk after crashing into the southern-most pier of the Traffic Bridge. Thankfully everyone involved was unharmed.

I experience the riverbank in Saskatoon like most people: walking, running and biking. Now there’s a new ride in town to enjoy the more than 60 kilometres of Meewasin Valley trails. Eco Glide Adventures combines history lessons with personal transporters to cruise along the pathways.

4. Hot air balloon ride over the bridges With famous hot air ballooning locations on my bucket list like Cappadocia, Turkey and Bagan, Myanmar, I thought I would try a test ride in Saskatoon. It’s a peaceful experience to slowly float above the city at sunrise with the golden hour sunshine glinting off the downtown buildings.

2. Go back in time at the WDM I grew up on a grain farm but have acceded to the accessible ameniSuffering from insatiable wanderlust, Ashlyn George is a freelance writer and photographer who has traveled through more than 50 countries on 6 continents.

gourmet hot dog bar

summer party theme ideas :

• ketchup

If there’s one thing a summer party must have, it’s delicious food. Every family seems to have that one grilling expert – the person who knows exactly how to season the food and grill it to perfection. Even if you aren’t the grilling expert in your family, there’s one BBQ party food that’s hard to mess up – hot dogs!

Hot dogs are easy to grill, and they are usually a hit with even the pickiest little eaters. Everyone can make their own hot dog creations with a selection of toppings in a Gourmet Hot Dog Bar. This is a great idea for a backyard BBQ bash & it’s so easy to set up!

• relish

Something I try to do for every party I host is prepare the food a day in advance. The day of the party is already busy with last minute decorations, tidying the house, guests arriving early, etc.

The more food you can prepare the night before the party, the less stressed you’ll be on party day.

Before you start planning your party menu, you’ll want to check with guests for allergies or other preferences (vegetarian options, etc.). Here are some delicious ideas for hot dog toppings:

• mustard • Ranch dip • garlic butter • onions • sautéed mushrooms • tomatoes • tomato sauce • cucumbers • tzatziki sauce • sauerkraut • cheese • sour cream • nacho cheese • taco chips

On your party shopping list, don’t forget paper plates, napkins, cups, cold drinks and dessert. Here’s a tip for party plates: use tin pie plates instead of regular paper plates to prevent those hot dogs from rolling off the guests’ plates.

You may want to serve some easy sides as well, like potato chips, pasta salad, baked beans or potato salad. Have you tried making nachos on the grill? They are delicious and a great idea for a BBQ party appetizer. Simply layer taco chips on a large disposable baking tray and top with green onions, black beans, tomatoes, black olives, jalapenos, bacon bits and lots of cheese.

For a delicious dessert option that sticks to the buffet theme, check out the June 2016 edition of Pink Magazine Saskatchewan with fun ideas for hosting an ice cream buffet party.

• bacon bits • chili All of the toppings can be set out in small ramekin dishes with forks or spoons for scooping. Depending on the size of your buffet, muffin tins work great to hold toppings and to keep them all on one tray. It makes setting up and cleaning up easier if you use one 12-muffin tin rather than 12 individual containers.

I hope your next party is a great one! If you have a party theme you need help brainstorming ideas for, feel free to reach out to me at cheryl@momsandmunchkins.ca. I love hearing about your party themes.

You can grill up a variety of hot dogs and sausages on the day of the party for guests to choose from, and set out the hot dog buns on the table for the buffet-style meal. You can leave guests to come up with their own hot dog creations, or you could create a few little menu cards with suggestions. A few tasty ideas are: OPA! Hot Dog: tzatziki, feta, tomatoes and cucumber Nacho Average Hot Dog: nacho cheese, sour cream, crushed taco chips, tomatoes and cheese Chili Cheese Hot Dog: chili and shredded cheese topped with sour cream & green onions Mushroom & Swiss Hot Dog: sautéed mushrooms, onions, Swiss cheese and Ranch dressing For this party, I found a couple of chalkboard signs to list the topping options and to list the “specials”.
