celebrate national mustard day with french’s :: review + recipes

Did you guys know that tomorrow is National Mustard Day?? I will be completely honest and say that, despite my intense love of mustard (particularly French’s Horseradish Mustard, which is an essential staple in my house), I did not. An entire day dedicated to celebrating mustard? I think yes. French’s has been a household name for over 100 years and no one (NO.ONE.) does mustard better than French’s. From dijon to honey mustard to plain old yellow mustard (though there is nothing plain about French’s yellow mustard), French’s has you covered. And what better way to ring in the month of August than with a grill full of bratwurst ready to be doused in that sunshiny yellow treat? Oh mustard, I love thee.

Here are some yummy recipes that pay homage to all of the wonderful things you can do with mustard. I for, one, will be trying them all!
