My favorite gift idea includes: a dozen country ham biscuits, a dozen buttermilk biscuits, a half-dozen cocoa & cream cookies, traditional pimento cheese, and Edward's country bacon slices.
BRUNCH:
If you are looking for a delicious Father's Day brunch, my father's "waffle waffle waffle! recipe is a must" His waffle recipe was to mix together pancake mix from the box with a can of creamed corn.
SUPPER:
My California-born husband claimed he did not to like fried food but he gobbles up the Kitchen Sink Pan-Fried Pork Chops every time.
I will never forget how out-of-this-world good Mrs. Burns and Amy's Country Fried Steak is, which I usually serve it sprinkled with chopped green onions and with an arugula salad on the side.
Simple Citrus Flank Steak is a simple yet flavorful marinade and then a fast grill. Quick and easy!
Pimento Cheese Shrimp and Grits Recipe - I put this recipe together one Father’s Day for my dad, a Lowcountry boy who loves his shrimp.
Lime Zest Grilled Shrimp is another tribute to my father's love of seafood.
SAUCES:
Crab cakes are one of my and my dad’s favorite things so I love to spice it up with a delicious Smoked Tomato Remoulade Recipe.
This Brown Sugar-Bourbon BBQ Sauce is the perfect thing to top off a grill master's ribs, wings, pulled pork or other BBQ creations.
SIDES:
Buffalo Cauliflower Dip - This is my heathier version of a buffalo chicken dip that is just as delicious and pairs perfectly with the new Callie's Hot Little Biscuit sea salt biscuit crackers!
I picked Krysten's Collards & Brussels Sprout Salad because it is like my husband - a Southern staple prepared like a California salad.
Roasted Rosemary Lemon Broccoli is the perfect vegetable to add to the meat-lovers' meal.
If you have a piecrust in your freezer, you can put the Caramelized Vidalia Onion Galette - a simple showstopper - together in a snap.
Desserts
With the Biscuit Berry Nest dessert, you get the feel of a cobbler but with a unique presentation.
My entire family – John included – cannot get enough of a summery Shortcake Sheet Cake! The recipe (as well as a savory-sweet breakfast option) is in our Shortcake Biscuit Mix recipe round up here.
