Father’s Day Done Right: Here’s What to Cook


Hey, friend!

Father’s Day is almost here, and if you’re anything like me, you want to make it special—but keep it simple.

This year, I’ve rounded up my best recipes for a Father’s Day meal that’s easy to pull off but full of flavor. Whether you’re firing up the grill or gathering around the table, these dishes are made for good food, great company, and celebrating the dads we love.

What's Trending This Summer:

Easy Hot Crab Dip
Rich, creamy, and packed with flavor—this crowd-favorite appetizer disappears fast at any summer gathering.

BBQ Red Slaw
Tangy, crunchy, and full of Carolina flavor. This no-mayo slaw is a must-have side for pulled pork, burgers, and more.
