There are few things my husband asks for, for Father’s Day. But he does enjoy a good celebration meal. His favorite thing to eat is a grilled steak. It doesn’t matter what sides are served if there is the perfect beer to balance it out.
That’s it. He isn’t really picky about the details.
All the gifts he gets are from the kids and it is typically a silly joke between them printed on a t-shirt, or something handmade. They help me prepare dinner and set the table. The kids help me pick out the side dishes (usually things they will eat, and dad just goes along with). I don’t think there has ever been a takeout night or dinner outside our backyard to celebrate. I try to keep things low key and simple. The family seems to enjoy that most.
Do you have a traditional meal to celebrate Father’s Day in your home? Here are a few ideas for inspiration. And if you don’t celebrate Father’s Day, these are great meals to make any day of the year.
Beef – for the family that enjoys a little fancy.
Seafood – for lighter fair.
Garlic Butter Cod with Asparagus
Casual Pub Grub – for those who like low key eats.
Slow Cooker Teriyaki Chicken Wings
Backyard BBQ – when you need to feed a crowd.
