Breakfast for Dad
Moms aren’t the only ones who deserve to be celebrated with breakfast. Make Dad feel special on Father’s Day this year with a festive spread, accompanied by a thoughtful note about how much he means to you. Blueberry pancakes are a breakfast favorite with good reason, and the kids can help with mixing up the batter. Fresh tomatoes and basil put a summery spin on simple scrambled eggs. Serve it all with sparkling lemonade that the whole family can enjoy.

Backyard Barbecue on Dad’s Day
If Dad’s a barbecue fan, this is the meal for him. Our Memphis-style baby back ribs are rubbed with a combination of spices and grilled until tender, then slathered with a sweet-and-tangy mop sauce. Round out the menu with grilled corn, potato salad and easy-to-assemble berry parfaits that take advantage of fresh summer produce.

A Father’s Day Dinner Any Dad Would Love
Now that summer is on the horizon, celebrate Dad by hosting a festive barbecue. Begin the meal with a simple starter that couldn't be easier to prepare: blistered padrón peppers sprinkled with plenty of flaky sea salt. The centerpiece of the party is souvlaki, chicken cooked on a rotisserie to juicy perfection and served with a quick pickled cabbage. An easy galette topped with summer’s first blackberries will end the meal on a sweet note.

Dinner for Dad
Celebrate Dad’s special day by making him a dinner that makes the most of summer produce. Easy to prepare, a starter of bruschetta bursts with the bright flavors of ripe cherry tomatoes and fresh basil. For the main course, we put a colorful spin on the classic Cobb salad, replacing the usual turkey with New York strip steak. For dessert, a buttermilk Bundt cake is served with whipped cream and fresh berries for a sweet ending to the meal.
