Summertime and the living is easy. It’s time for sunshine, swimming, parties and backyard barbecues.

My husband and I recently purchased our first grill and are looking forward to hosting several fun backyard parties this summer. In fact, we have one in store for July 4th, and I am so excited.

Thanks to Hebrew National, my 4th of July barbecue is bound to be a blast. Not only am I looking forward to friends, family and food, but I love, LOVE that I also get to enjoy Hebrew National hot dogs at my event.

I have been a fan of Hebrew National since I was a child. It was the only, and I mean ONLY, hot dog brand that my parents would purchase. Now that I have kids of my own, I too make sure that we only eat Hebrew National hot dogs.

All Hebrew National kosher beef products are made with premium cuts of 100% beef and have no fillers or by-products, no artificial flavors or colors.

When I feed my family Hebrew National, I know that I am serving my family the best, all-beef hot dogs for a quality, fun family meal.

This week, as I prepare for my upcoming 4th of July barbecue, I will be sharing with you some fun photos and videos, sure to get all of you in the festive fourth mood.

And believe me, you will need to get festive, because Hebrew National is giving one lucky reader a $1,000 American Express Gift Card to hold a 4th of July barbecue of their dreams.

If you win, not only will you be able to stock up on your favorite grilling meats, including of course, Hebrew National kosher beef products, but you will have enough money to even hire a maid service to clean up after the party is over.

Heck you could even throw in some bouncy castles for the kids or hire someone to do the cooking for you. Invite your co-workers, your friends, even your neighbors. It is sure to be a 4th of July to remember.

To enter, please leave a comment below. You can also earn additional entries: subscribe to our Feed, sign up for our 5M4M Newsletter, add our 5 Minutes for Mom button in your sidebar, write a post and link back to this contest on your blog, and spread the word via Facebook, Twitter, or email! (Just make sure you leave extra comments letting us know. Your comments are your entries.)

I am so impressed with Hebrew National’s “4 No’s” — no fillers or by-products, no artificial flavors or colors. In your comment tell me, what are your “No’s” when it comes to feeding or raising your kids.

Please see our site’s Terms and Conditions of Use for a complete list of our contest and giveaway rules.

This giveaway is open to US shipping addresses only and will end on Sunday, June 28th. We will announce our winner on Monday, June 29th.

Hebrew National would also like to give the winner a chance to give back to the charity of their choice by turning your backyard barbecue into a Picnic with a Purpose. You can even use some of your winnings and/or let your guests know that they can make a small donation if they’d like as well, to help a cause near and dear to your heart. Or you could come up with some other creative ways to support a charity.

This spring various bloggers all over the country participated by throwing their own Picnic with a Purpose. Some had their guests donate used clothing, some painted pots… check them out and get your creative juices flowing about how you can turn your July 4th bash into a Picnic with a Purpose.


And yes, I’ll say it again, you could win $1,000 to throw a 4th of July barbecue of your dreams.

Oh, and the 4th of July fun doesn’t end there. 5 Minutes for Mom will be holding a virtual barbecue this 4th of July, where we will give you the opportunity to link up to your 4th of July party posts all week long, for a chance at winning another fun prize. Stay tuned for more details.

  1. My Mother’s 60th birthday is July 3rd. She lives 8 hrs from me. I was going to surprise visit her for her party on the 4th. There will be 5 generations there. It will also be the first time all her kids have been together in years. Winning this would truly make her party and the day something special for her and our family. And I would send tons of pictures in 😀

  3. I’m expecting my 1rst grandchild; which is going to be a baby boy!! My son, and his wife are really struggling; and $1,000.00 would help them out a lot!! At this time the are living with her parents, and although it wouldn’t buy them a place of their own; it would greatly help them with such things as baby diapers-(which are expensive)-and baby clothes, pacifers, and maybe even a car seat, and a baby swing!!

With the wedding expences, this would be great, a one last shindig before the big day. We love to get Hebrew National every time we visit Costco.

  15. ohh. I forgot to tell you my “No”

    No soda for kids. I don’t drink it either very often. It’s water, milk, or juice for kids and me. The girls drink much more water now that we each have our own stainless steel water bottles. They do occasionly get a small glass of soda as a treat. It’s usually soda I make at home or maybe some sprite or rootbeer.

    My “NO” is soda. My 6 year old gets the choice of milk, juice, or water for meals and snacks.
    Surprisingly, she often chooses water. Soda is an occasional treat, only!

  204. My ‘no’s’ are mostly having to do with attitude issues and purchase requests. lol No, you may not mumble at me all the way up the stairs, and no, I will not buy you three dog games for your DS. The end. Food-wise, I rarely say no. I say ‘moderation’ instead.

    4) no tattoos until you’re 18 and out on your own.

    Later on, we get crazy with the food and fireworks! We always have a blast, and we are still talking about last year’s party! This would be such a great prize to win and be able to share with all our friends, family and neighbors!!

I would soooo love to be able to surprise him with this. I could put together a BBQ for all those traveler’s and truck drivers in and around the hotel where he is staying in that sleepy little town who aren’t lucky enough to spend the day at home with their families!

  326. Wow, this would absolutely be a dream come true! My family always has a pretty big 4th of July bash, but winning the gift card would really take it over the top this year. It would be great to hire a DJ or rent out fancy audio equipment for music and karaoke, buy tons of great food, drinks, and sweets for everyone to enjoy, and really do things up with decorations, lighting, and maybe even a tent in case of rain. Maybe even put up a new volleyball net. Thanks for the amazing giveaway!

  373. I’m celebrating my daughter’s 1st birthday this July 4th weekend (on July 5th). She is my first baby and my party is a means of celebrating her birthday along with my ‘mommy’ achievements which include providing expressed milk to her till date and building a much stronger relationship with my mom. I spent 5 months with my baby before I went back to working full-time. She didn’t take milk from my breast since day 4 of her birth and I wanted to give her only my milk so I pumped several times a day and continue to do so now as well (my biggest achievement beside others). Another step I took was to call my mother to live with me so that she could care for my baby when I went back to work. Unbelievably this has worked out great for me, my baby, my mother and our relationship. I have to admit that it was not as good before my baby was born and so I was very hesitant at first but I made the move and God has rewarded me for this positive step forward. For the party I’m inviting my friends, their kids and my mom’s friends as well and we are cutting 2 cakes (1 for my baby and the other 1 for my mom and me 🙂 ). I’m also giving my mom a small gift (but if I won this prize I would get her a plane ticket for a week to visit her sister and their kids in San Jose, California). My husband and I are very excited to celebrate these two occasions also because this is going to be our 1st barbeque party in our 1st home. Last weekend we finished painting our deck and this weekend we are getting our grill and patio furniture for the deck. If I won this gift card I can see how I’ll save on the many expenses we’ve planned and probably will get my daughter more gifts. By the way all the food I get is only Kosher and/or halal so of course Hebrew National was on the menu … since I give no other ‘dog’ this Authority!!

  394. My husband and I just love to entertain, we have a large family and circle of friends and we truly enjoy throwing a fun and festive party for our friends and family. Money has been very tight for us these past several months so we probably won’t be doing as much entertaining because it does indeed get expensive. It would be such an amazing opportunity to win this giveaway so we could reciprocate to our family and friends by having a wonderful get together at our home because they have had us over so many times and truly we need to do the same for them. My husband and I are both big diva’s in the kitchen and around the barbecue so this would be a wish come true for us! Thanks so much for the chance to enter.

  463. One of the No’s I have for my kids & eating is that they are not allowed to have soda before they are 3 (I try to wait till 4 or 5, but that’s not always possible). And they for sure only get pop at that age maybe 2 or 3 times a year. I was just amazed at the number of babies & toddlers I saw when I was a nursery director with soda in their bottles or sippy cups.

    Thanks for the opportunity,

  535. Wow, with that I could invite the whole town for a bbq! Our town is small so it would work great! I think I would even have the fire department there to hose down the kids and keep them cool, or fill a pool for swimming. What a fabulous giveaway!

  536. I like how Hebrew National comes in packages smaller than other brands…when you are a single, it’s actually good to deal with fewer franks.

  566. Unfortunately, we haven’t grilled out this summer yet. Our gas grill died…RIP. We have not bought a new one. I think one of those old time Webbers that you use charcoal or hickory brickettes are much more loyal and reliable.

    I agree that the Hebrew National franks are the best for nutritional value…if there is such a thing from a hot dog. We don’t eat them often but they certainly make cookouts economic and fun for the kids.

    Just getting everyone together for a night is difficult in my family as I have teens and then there is my one-year-old. It’s an entertaining mix! Everyone have a great summer filled with fun, family…and, yes, franks!

  570. WOWO wouldn’t this be the biggest 4th of July ever for us! $1000 would make it even sweeter and my family is going to be in town too. I have family in the adoption field and this would make a great charity to donate things to them, toy drive, etc. PICK ME PICK ME!!

  604. Not only would that buy us a lot of tasty Hebrew National hot dogs for our 4th of July bash, we could alao buy a lot of FIREWORKS for our annual display (we live in rural NH, it’s legal).

This 4th is special to me because I will be home, and able to celebrate it with my 4 year old grandson and 9 month old grand daughter. I’m also celebrating 2 months with a new man in my life, and having a family/friends cook out at my house. I have not cooked for anyone besides my daughter and grandson in so long, it’s like I forgot how! Thank you so much for the dream of making this 4th of July the best one ever!

  763. Last year for Independence Day, our friends visited with their 2 boys. We had a BBQ, splashed in the apartment’s outdoor pool, and then we walked to the local park to view a spectacular fireworks display.

    This year, we’d love a repeat. Our boys had so much fun…and nothing’s more kid-friendly for a summer cookout than Heb Hounds! That’s what my hubby and his fam called them when he was growing up.

    FYI, we just got back from a camping trip…and we devoured our hot dogs…they’re the BEST!
