For most Americans the summer season kicks off with Memorial Day as they fire up the grill to enjoy backyard cook-outs and the grilling continues well beyond Labor Day, but one thing that many home chefs are just beginning to realize is that a little bit of mustard adds a lot of flavor to many every day foods. While French's mustard remains the condiment of choice for hot dogs and hamburgers, it can really kick-up the flavor in a variety of family favorites like potato salad, baked beans, macaroni and cheese and more. In addition, with a variety of mustard flavors to choose from like French's Classic Yellow, Spicy Brown, Honey, Honey Dijon, Dijon with Chardonnay, and Horseradish, the options are endless.

"Grilling remains a favorite cooking method because it delivers distinctive flavor but also because it's quick and easy," says Ukonwa Ojo, Senior Brand Manager French's Mustard. "As pantry staple, mustard is something most home chefs have readily available and with a recipe as easy as our new Super Juicy Mustard Rubbed Montreal Spiced Grilled Chicken, the family can sit down to a delicious dinner that's fast and fabulous. Mustard is the secret ingredient that locks in the flavor of the seasoning while also keeping the chicken nice and juicy."

In addition, Classic Yellow mustard is also 100% natural with zero calories, so it's a guilt-free way to add flavor to a variety of recipes. In addition, French's Mustard is made from whole mustard seeds and is minimally processed, resulting in premium quality mustard. So fire up the grill and give these new recipes a try:
