Father’s Day BBQ

Let’s celebrate dad with a sizzling menu of Father’s Day BBQ recipes, gift ideas and perhaps a trip to one of the best golf courses in the PNW. This post has great recipes for dad’s special day, a list of my favorite movies to watch with your father and even a great gift guide. And, in our family- golf is always a must. I’ve compiled a list of the top golf courses in the Pacific Northwest and Rocky Mountain States.

Celebrate the hardworking men in your life. They deserve it!

My favorite BBQ recipes for dad:

• Philipp’s Excellent Hamburger
• Southern Slow Cooker BBQ Pork with Slatherin’ Sauce
• Montana Burger
• Gilled Beef Short Ribs with Quick Pickles
• Grilled Cuban Flank Steak with Sliced Mango
• Slow Roasted Pork Enchiladas with Jammy Onions

Perfect Sides dishes for a Father’s Day Celebration:

• Salsa Verde
• Blistered Shishito Peppers with Lime-mayo dipping sauce
• German Potato Salad
• Tropical Salad
• Broccoli Salad with Blueberries

Dad deserves something sweet for his special Day:

Most dad’s I know have a bit of a sweet tooth. Make dad a tray of my Double Chocolate & Walnut Brownies packed with dark chocolate chips.

Maybe dad loves ice cream- try my Family Size Banana Split with dark chocolate hot fudge sauce. It’s the perfect dessert and dad can take the extra fudge sauce home with him.

Does Dady like a tart dessert? This Key Lime Pie cannot be beat. As a fifth generation Floridan, now happily transplanted out West, I can promise you this is the Best Key Lime pie ever.
