Recipes for a Rad Dad

Do you like to cook for Dad too? I’ve got a few menu ideas for helping to celebrate all the dads in your life.

My husband does a lot for our family, from taking the night shift with the baby to sitting in the hot sun for hours of soccer practice with our older son. That might sound like it’s just part of the job of being a dad, but I know how much he treasures those little moments with our kids. So when Father’s Day comes around, I love to make a special meal that features all his favorites.
