Dad's Favorites - Must-Make Father's Day Recipes


Hi Reader,

I have been blessed with amazing father figures in my life. And next weekend, I plan to celebrate them with some of their favorites! Even my father-in-law and Papa, who sadly are no longer with us.

Let me share with you some of their favorites so that you can WOW the father's in your life as well.

Dad-Approved Breakfast Recipes

  • My Husband's Favorite: Don’t forget, Dads love breakfast in bed too! And these are the pancakes to beat all pancakes! Perfect for Dad--especially if he loves Strawberry Cheesecake!
  • My Dad's Favorite: You can't go wrong with this stick-to-your-ribs comfort food!
  • My Father-in-Law's Favorite: The coating on this bacon won him over!

Dad-Approved Dinners

  • My Dad and Husband's Favorite: My husband, Dad, AND son tell me time and time again that my steaks are better than any 5-star restaurants' and they are INSANELY easy to make. Trust me, if you or your Dad like steak, don't miss my fail-proof technique.
  • My Father-In-Law's Favorite: I remember my father-in-law eating one of my burgers and asking me what I did differently because they were the best burgers he had ever had--and he raised beef, so he had a lot of burgers in his life!
  • Inspired by My Papa: My papa (my grandpa) has inspired so many recipes that I have shared here, like this one, that has rave reviews. To me, it tastes like my childhood.
  • Readers' Favorite: If your dad is into Italian food, these meatballs are the best. There are over 150 glowing reviews, but this comment from Gary sums up how much men love these meatballs. I made these for a poker game on Saturday night. I used nearly four pounds of meat. I thought there would be tons left over. The guys kept going back for seconds and thirds and fourths. By one a.m. when we quit, there were nine meatballs left. My guests absolutely loved these meatballs.

Dad's Favorite Desserts

  • My Father-In-Law's Favorite: I made this cheesecake every year we celebrated Father’s Day with my father-in-law. It was his absolute favorite. This is the BEST cheesecake PERIOD.
  • My Husband's Favorite Dessert: This banana pudding is my husband's all-time favorite dessert. And frankly, my whole family loves it as well.
  • My Dad's Favorite Dessert: This is an old-fashioned pudding that my dad simply loves.
  • My Papa's Favorite Dessert: My Great Aunt Catherine's Brownies! These gooey brownies are a family favorite and remind us all of Ghirardelli brownies (I did make one addition to her recipe--any guesses?!)

For those of you who have lost your father or are struggling to become a father, I am sending you love. We lost my father-in-law over 16 years ago, but I still think of him fondly when I make his favorites.

Happy Cooking!

Kristen
