Celebrate your dad!
I’m blessed to have an amazing dad who shares my quirky dry sense of humor, college football obsession, love for travel and…cowlick. We definitely have the same cowlick.
Thanks, dad.
And in case you’re cooking this weekend, here’s a list of dad-friendly dishes that will make your Father’s Day deliciously better.
Shrimp Tacos with Grilled Poblano and Avocado Salsa <—– let Dad grill while you make the drinkies
Cedar Plank Smoked Salmon <—-same rule applies as above
Buffalo Chicken Dip <—-you’ll be the best daughter…..ever.
Mashed Potatoes with Mushroom Gravy
Elvis Granola <—-serve him warm freshly baked granola in the morning! Instant win.
Salted Fudge Brownies <—-go big or go home
Banana Bread Cupcakes with Cream Cheese Frosting <—-if I were a dad, I would want this. Wait no…that’s weird.
Sometimes the best dads are only a phone call away!

My dad and I share…well besides the good ole’ looks, the same dry sense of humor, too. I always love to hear it when people say I’m my father’s daughter when it comes to personality and remarks 🙂

I am celebrating Dad. Though he died 18-months ago I wrote a post on my blog I think he would love. With a terrific song that conveys how he’ll always be the romantic El Khobar!!
