The Perseid Meteor Shower started last month and continues through the end of August, but the peak days are August 11-13. NASA says at its peak you could see 50 - 100 meteors per hour. The best times to view is in the pre-dawn hours, but you may be able to see them as early as 10pm. Even though we are expecting clouds and rain those days, you still may be able to see the meteor shower, which doesn't require a telescope. Click here for more viewing tips from EarthSky!

Looking for something different for dinner? I came across a recipe for Dinner Poppers from Taste of Home, and they sound pretty delicious. This recipe calls for poblano peppers, but really you could use just about any pepper depending on how hot or mild you want it. Stuffed with chicken and cheese, wrapped in bacon, you really can't go wrong! Click here for the full recipe. 

It's National Hot Dog Day! So how to celebrate? Well, you could serve them up grilled with ketchup, mustard, and relish. Or my favorite, grilled until almost burnt with a good helping of Stadium Mustard (yum!). Or you could go all out and try a Chicago-Style Hot Dog. Since we're not in Chicago, click here to get a recipe from Delish to make your own at home!
