Backyard BBQ
This blog is a great one-stop-shop for a backyard bbq fit for a king, complete with a printable menu and hostess schedule! The menu features a cheese board appetizer, Dill Potato Salad, Spinach Blueberry Salad, Cedar Plank Salmon Burgers, and mouth-watering Rum Soaked Grilled Pineapple for dessert. Yum!
Croque Monsieur Casserole
A special breakfast is in order! If dad is “team” savoury breakfast, this Croque Monsieur Casserole, complete with a drizzle of homemade Béchamel, will be perfection. Top it with poached or fried eggs if dad has a bigger appetite.
Angel Cakes (Pancakes)
If dad prefers something sweet, these pancakes are straight from the heavens! This recipe for Angel Cakes is the BEST pancake recipe you’ll ever try. They get their name from their light, fluffy, heavenly taste. These are one of my most famous, highly rated recipes, and for a good reason. Plus, they’re easy enough the kids can help do it! If you can handle the cleanup lol.
7-Layer Greek Dip
Looking for an effortless yet impressive appetizer? Meet the 7-Layer Greek Dip: delicious healthy layers of hummus, tzatziki, and all the Greek fixings. Grab some chips or pita, and dive on in! I love that this is simple to put together, leaving you more time out of the kitchen, and more precious time with your family.
Whiskey BBQ Chicken Sliders
Let this crockpot recipe do the work for you, so you can spend more time with dad! These Chicken Crockpot Sliders are slowly cooked in the crockpot with a simple homemade BBQ sauce. With just a few easy steps, you’ll have tender pulled chicken to add to a fresh bun and top with a cool dill coleslaw. Perfect for a big (hungry) crowd!
Classic Rib Dinner
Ribs with mashed potatoes and coleslaw are a quintessential summer dinner. This Classic Rib Dinner recipe is actually from my digital meal plan: Fraîche Table. Years ago, I was consistently frustrated and SO stressed over weekday meals. I searched for something that could do the meal planning for me in a way that actually helped, and came up empty-handed. So, I decided to take matters into my own hands and create it myself!

Homemade BBQ Sauce
This homemade BBQ sauce makes the perfect DIY gift that is so simple the kids can make it! This sauce is a winner. It’s perfectly sweet (you can use honey or brown sugar, your choice), a little smoky and very versatile: it will go with anything! And hey, you know the way to a man’s heart…
Crab Cakes with Tartar Sauce
These crab cakes are soooooo delicious and can (and should) be prepped ahead! You can easily prep them earlier in the day or the day before and refrigerate them until just before guests arrive and you start to cook them. Easy gourmet at its finest!
Seafood Linguine
This bright and citrusy Seafood Linguine is a refreshing departure from the traditional heavier versions of this pasta that are typically loaded with cream. The best part is that the whole dish comes together in just over 30 minutes! Serve with a crisp white wine such as a Pinot Gris and transport dad to the coast with this meal. It’s giving Nantucket vibes for me.
Homemade Pizza
Make homemade pizza with all of dad’s favourite toppings! Here is my go-to pizza dough recipe.
BBQ Steak with Feta Salsa
You will want to add this Feta Sala to everything! This is a very special recipe straight from my husband Charles (he’s rather famous for it) to elevate your next BBQ. You can thank him later! You’ll be so impressed with how simple this recipe is, and how much of a crowd-favourite it will be! It takes whatever you pair it with, to the next level (we love it on grilled chicken, fish or steak).
Peanut Butter Pie
This Peanut Butter Pie is my own dad’s favourite and will earn you a standing ovation (and possibly favourite child status for life). With a crunchy chocolate cookie crust, a creamy peanut butter filling and a showy salty, crunchy chocolate top, this dessert is the perfect “something sweet” for any celebration. Other ideas include this Easy Tiramisu, Cafe Au Lait Cheesecake or Bourbon Apple Crisp.
