Hot dogs!  Who doesn\u2019t love a good grilled dog on a hot summers eve?  I love hot dogs (does that make me gross), but what I really love are juicy brats or smoked sausages.  Throw one of these on a grill, serve with ketchup and mustard and you have one happy girl!  Tonight we decided to mix it up a little in the Kickert household.  We stuck some cheddar brats (from Aldi<\/a>) on the grill and grilled to a crispy perfection.  While they were grilling I boiled some corn on the cob and saut\u00e9ed some onions with butter, garlic and Cajun seasoning.  Instead of serving the brats on hot dog buns, we opted to serve them on flat pita bread.  I ate mine plain with only the onions and it was perfect.  A thin row of mustard could have been added and maybe some cheese, but I really think the pita is what made the dish.  The brat didn\u2019t get lost in all the bread that comes with a hot dog bun.  It was a new twist on an old tradition and I loved it!  I think we will be having this meal again in the near future.<\/p>\n

**Side note \u2013 I was so excited to eat my brat and pita I failed to take any pictures, but here are some fun ones of Mikayla eating some corn on the cob!<\/em><\/p>\n
