What To Make Dad This Weekend


Hi Reader!

Father’s Day is this weekend, so I pulled together a few recipes that my husband likes. We usually end up grilling a main dish, a couple of sides and then celebrate with dessert at the end. You can keep it simple or turn it into a full spread but I've got lots of ideas below and on the site to check out!

The Main Dish

A good steak starts with a marinade and ends with a quick 5-6-minute sear on each side. If dad loves steak, this is the recipe to make! If you're looking for more main ideas, I have a few extra options, too!

Add-on Ideas

Pair the main with something extra special, easy, and delicious.

Side Dish Ideas

A good side can pull the whole plate together. I’d choose one favorite, then add a salad, grilled vegetables, or something easy to prep ahead.
