Show Dad some extra love this weekend with a menu full of his favorite foods! From yummy appetizers, cool drinks, fresh salads, and good things hot off the grill, these recipes will make sure that Father’s Day is super special.
Any idea of what the key is to any man’s heart? I think I’ve got the answer. FOOD! How do I know this? Well after years of cooking for Mr. SS, my two sons, lots of guy friends, and tons of young boys, I can honestly say, good food is the answer.
Father’s Day is coming up fast and I’m ready to celebrate the special man in our family. Every year, I ask Rob what he wants for Father’s Day and the answer is always the same. “Let’s have a big cookout!”
One of the things I treasure about Rob is how much he loves spending time with his family. He’s not big on gifts and doesn’t seek attention. He just wants to be together. All of us. And this year, we are going to add some extra fun into the mix with the boys bringing their girlfriends to our get-together.
How To Make Dad Feel Special On Father’s Day
There are all kinds of ways to make the Dad in your life feel special this Sunday. Here’s are a few tried and true favorites of mine:
- Tell him to take it easy! Do any chores he normally does and make sure his to-do list is empty.
- Show him how much he means to you with a special handwritten note, letter, or card.
- Make a delicious meal. It doesn’t have to be complimented. Just pick a few recipes listed below and you’ll have all you need for a great menu.
- Take time to do some decorating and make sure the table is set with fun dinnerware and colorful napkins.
- Make a playlist of his favorite songs and play it during your gathering. I use Spotify and use it every single day!
- During dessert, share your favorite memory of Dad. This is probably my favorite because we always laugh so hard that we can barely breathe.
