Father’s Day is a very important day of the
year and your dad should be given as much attention as your mom got on Mother’s
Day. My children took me out to The Strathmore Station for Mother’s Day and it
was packed to the rafters. I wonder if it will be the same on Father’s Day.
Somehow, I think perhaps Dad might prefer a few different activities than
brunch. He might prefer to go golfing, hiking, biking or camping. Whatever your
dear old Dad chooses to do at the end of the day, nothing would make him
happier than a special supper, and you know Dads love BBQ. You can BBQ just
about anything and DAD will love it. How easier could that possibly be?
BARBECUE
CHICKEN WITH BACON AND CHEDDAR
4 (4oz) boneless skinless chicken breasts
8 regular slices of bacon
1/2 cup Sweet Honey Barbecue Sauce,
divided (half for basting, half for drizzling on top of the cheese)
4 slices medium cheddar cheese,
quartered
Instructions:
Preheat grill. Wrap each piece of chicken
tightly with two slices of bacon. Place chicken on grill and cook about 6 to 7
minutes on each side until the internal temperature of the chicken reaches 165°F, basting with barbecue sauce as desired. Top with 4 quarter pieces
of cheese, shingled over the chicken breast. Drizzle with remaining barbecue
sauce and heat until cheese is melted. Remove from grill and serve.
WESTERN
BARBECUE BURGERS
2 pounds ground chuck
1/4 cup Barbecue Sauce
1/4 teaspoon salt
1/4 teaspoon pepper
1/2 cup Barbecue Sauce for basting
2 sweet or yellow onions
Olive Oil
6 slices American cheese
12 slices bacon
6 buns
6 lettuce leaves
2 tomatoes
pickle slices
Combine ground beef, 1/4 cup barbecue
sauce, garlic powder, salt, and pepper in a large bowl. Mix well. Shape into 6
patties. Refrigerate until grill is ready. Heat gas grill to medium high.
Lightly coat onion slices with oil and salt and pepper. (Note: You can stick a
wooden skewer through each onion slice to hold it together. Wooden skewers
should be soaked in water beforehand.) Grill onion slices over direct heat for
3 minutes per side. Then move them to one side of grill and turn heat to low on
that side. Baste them with barbecue sauce and remove them from grill when they
are soft and charred. Lightly sprinkle burger patties with salt and pepper and
place on the grill for 3 to 5 minutes. Flip over and continue to grill for
about 3 minutes. Baste the tops with barbecue sauce. Top each burger with a
slice of American cheese just before removing from grill. (Internal temperature
should be 160°F.) Place lettuce and
tomato slices on buns, top with burgers, onions, bacon, and more barbecue
sauce. Recipe from www.thrillist.com
Make sure you give your special Dad the
Best Father’s Day ever!

WHAT IS A DAD?
A Dad is a person
Who is loving and kind,
And often he knows
What you have on your mind.
He's someone who listens,
suggests, and defends.
A dad can be one
of your very best friends;
He's proud of your triumphs,
but when things go wrong,
A dad can be patient
and helpful and strong.
In all that you do,
a dad’s love plays a part.
There’s always a place for him
deep in your heart
And each year that passes,
you’re even more glad,
More grateful and proud
just to call him your dad.
Thank you Dad...
for listening and caring,
for giving and sharing,
but, especially, for just being you;
