What I'm making for Father's Day this year


Hi Reader,

My husband's Father's Day gift is the same every year...I make him (and the family) whatever he wants for dinner and dessert.

It's always something grilled and potatoes in some form, and I never even need to ask him what he wants for dessert. Scroll down to see which recipes won out this year!

I've also got one brand new recipe below, so be sure to and check it out.

What are you making this weekend? Hit reply and let me know!

Happy cooking!

My Father's Day Menu

Grilled BBQ Chicken

It doesn't get much better than juicy bbq chicken fresh off the grill! My recipe includes cooking times for every cut of chicken so you can choose your favorite!

Roasted Sweet Potato Halves

These sweet potato halves are crisp and caramelized with soft, creamy centers! Serve with a pat of butter and flaky sea salt for the perfect bbq side dish.

Broccoli Slaw

This slaw is crunchy, chewy and tossed in my sweet, tangy coleslaw dressing. It is a must for your next bbq!

Banana Cream Pie

This is my husband's all-time favorite pie and I can't say that I blame him. It has a buttery graham cracker crust, homemade pastry cream, fresh bananas and whipped cream. I'll make the pastry cream today and assemble it tomorrow!


New this week!

Blueberry Oat Flour Muffins

These muffins are soft and fluffy with the texture of your favorite bakery style muffin thanks to Greek yogurt. I've been making these on repeat!

Italian chopped salad

Hi Reader, I eat salads every day, so I change things up a lot to keep things exciting. That's not hard to do with all of the gorgeous summer produce at my finger tips. I love everything from chopped salad, fruity salads and even salads without lettuce. Given my daily salad habit, I couldn't live without my OXO Good Grips Salad Spinner*. It doubles as a fruit washer and an easy way to store your vegetables! If you like salad as much as I do, check out my collection of Summer Salad Recipes....

salmon nicoise salad

Hi Reader, It was an exciting weekend! My youngest son got married to the most wonderful woman on a rooftop in downtown Boise. It was the perfect day and we had a fabulous time celebrating with friends and family. We spent two fun filled nights celebrating, and it was so special having everyone in town to share this occasion with us. Now that the wedding is over, I'm back to focusing on creating summer recipes that are perfect for warm weather. When the weather is really hot, I crave salad...
