This Foodie Friday has men in mind, specifically, my guy, "Mr. Shop This." If you don't know by now, one of the ways to any man's heart is through his stomach. If all you do for dear ol' Dad is cook him a good meal, you will earn a gold star. This recipe roundup throws caution and diets to the wind with over the top desserts, spicy sides, and cocktails to toast your man of the day.
HERE: 16 Dad Approved Dishes
Velvet Waffles
Let's begin with a hot stack of waffles and crunchy chicken. The whole thing has been drenched with a cream cheese icing. You can keep the chicken, but I'll take the waffles.
Say Grace
Not just any Surf and Turf. This recipe features a spicy roasted garlic chimichurri butter. I for one, feel that chimichurri elevates everything. It begins with rib-eye steaks. Who wouldn't enjoy this meal?
Half Baked Harvest
Grilled Sangria
If you haven't grilled fruit, you are missing out. The process makes limes, lemons, and pineapple ever so juicy. The caramelized sugars will add richness and smoky-sweet depth to every sip.
Saveur
With a crunchy and salty crust, this looks like the perfect Summer dessert.
A Dash Of Texas
A popper for Pop! The perfect thing to go with an ice cold beer. These are made with Ruffles potato chips, and that's where the crunch comes into play.
Bakers Royale
This recipe is for beer lovers. It's a cross between a bloody and a beer. You'll notice a hit of heat that is balanced by the the brightness of lime.
Serious Eats
This recipe leaves the skin on, which I never do. Maybe I should reconsider because the recipe swears that the crispy skin is really good. What sounds better to me is the sauce. It is a simple base of honey, chiles, a little soy sauce, garlic, ginger, and lime. Yum!
Half Baked Harvest
Proof that you can drink your coffee and eat your cake, too. Even if Dad isn't a coffee drinker, he will want a bite of this. It features Chocolate cake, Vanilla cake, Chocolate Chip Cookies, Donuts and of course espresso beans. Over the top for coffee lovers.
The Cake Space
I keep hearing about how good flank steak is, but haven't tried it. There' something about having to marinate and pound a cut of meat to make it tender. I do marinate to infuse with flavor. This dish looks so good, that I may change my opinion on flank steak. The author says it is great hot or cold.
How Sweet Eats
Boozy Lemon Mojito Cupcakes
What dad wouldn't love a cocktail dessert? P.S. the booze is rum....Yum!Broma Bakery
I know a Dad that loves pizza. So did mine, but he never had anything like this. Burrata. Prosciutto. Basil. Pizza Sauce. Red Pepper Flakes. That’s it. Done. Nothing more to say, except what time is dinner?
What's Gabby Cooking
Such a clever idea! As mentioned in past posts, I always make my own ice cream. The no churn method is so very simple. A good loaf pan as shown here is essential in my view. Dad and everyone at the table will just love
this unique recipe.
Once Upon A Chef
I know a Dad that would choose this over steak. It does look good, doesn't it? It's made with Dr. Pepper and in the Crockpot. This sandwich has Dad's name all over it.
Brit + Co.
Pepper Sauce
Haven't made ribs yet this season, but this recipe is tempting. In fact it had me at bourbon.
Williams Sonoma
Forget dad. This mom wants a straw and a spoon pronto to taste test this treat. It's said to be one of the most decadent milkshakes ever.
Around My Family Table
Kabobs are a favorite on the grill. The skinless chicken breast grills up quickly and can be marinated in as fast as 14 minutes. Perfect for Dads that do not do red meat.
