11 Fabulous Father’s Day Eats

Hi there!

Father’s Day is swiftly approaching and it’s time we thought about how to treat those special men in our lives! Whether it’s your father, your brother, your uncle, nephew, grandpa or simply a father-figure, he deserves to be pampered! And I don’t know about the men in your life, but the men in mine love food. It’s one of the easiest ways to connect with them and brighten their day. Whenever a holiday approaches, I always take the time to plan the perfect menu for the event so every guest is impressed with the spread of options.

In our house, we usually treat Dad to a delicious breakfast complete with fresh & crisp homemade waffles, a big stack of buttery pancakes, bacon & sausage, and fresh fruit. After breakfast, we usually do something active together, like take a long walk through the neighborhood, ride our bikes on a local trail, or have a pool party with his closest friends. And I always make sure to have plenty of baked goods on hand for my Dad’s sweet tooth!

Using Krusteaz products for holiday meal planning is one of my favorite tricks, and Father’s Day is no exception! Krusteaz has a generous line of cookie & bar mixes, muffin mixes, and pancake & waffle mixes to satisfy every kind of sweet tooth. My favorite part of using Krusteaz mixes is that they’re so versatile and can be customized to anyone’s personal preference. By adding say, chocolate chips to their Cinnamon Crumb Cake, or tossing in lemon zest to their Blueberry Muffins, it’s such an easy way to tailor to your family’s favorite flavor combinations.
