8 Hearty Father's Day Recipes

In honor of Father’s Day, I wanted to share with you 8 of my favorite dad recipes that I like to cook for my husband on Father’s Day. Though you may not agree with all my recipe choices, we can all agree that dads love a hearty meal on their special day!
To start off, you can’t go wrong with grilling either a Hot Dog or a Burger at lunchtime to hold your dad off before the main course. My mouth watering Bacon Stuffed Cheeseburgers w/Bourbon BBQ Sauce or Sausage Dogs on the Grill will be sure to keep dad satisfied for the meantime!

We must not forget to serve dad a strong cocktail(s) while he waits for his main course. Two rich and strong cocktail recipes that are perfect for dad are my Pineapple Bourbon Lemonade and Moscow Mule.


For the main you can never go wrong with a steak. A good hearty steak is every man’s go to choice any time, any day. For this meal you can either prepare my Flank Steak w/Olive Tapenade or my New York Strip Steak w/Wild Mushrooms & Herby Butter. Both recipes are delicious and will make dad very happy!

Lastly, we can not forget the dessert! I don’t know about your husband (or dad), but my husband is still hungry even after a hearty meal! Two of my husband’s favorite dessert recipes of mine are the Coconut Flan and my special Key Lime Pie! I’m sure your dad will agree with these picks as well.

Hope you enjoyed and will use some of my Father’s Day recipes picks! Stay tuned for next month’s Fourth of July blog with more new recipe ideas The Mad Table style!
