Now that we have a checklist for planning a celebration of Dad on Father’s Day, let’s talk MENU!

We’ve got to do it up right for Dad!

APPETIZERS

We’re going to want to whet Dad’s appetite, but not TOO much because there’s lots more to come! Try some Jumbo Shrimp or Basil Pesto Gorgonzola Kisses to get him started.

ENTREE

Now on to the main course! Might I suggest a gorgeous Porterhouse steak for such an occasion? It’s manly, it’s delicious and it’ll let Dad know you’re serious.

SIDE DISHES

This celebration meal calls for Mashed Potatoes with Porcini Mushrooms or decadent Twice Baked Potatoes. Delish!

DESSERT

MY dad is all about the German Chocolate Cake. But maybe yours would love Red Velvet Cake or Vanilla Cheesecake. Pick his favorite!

It’s so much fun to plan a meal for someone you love. Make sure you have all Dad’s faves and it’ll be a hit. Click here for more menu inspiration.

Happy celebrating!

See this guy? That’s Trevor Runyon.

And this weekend, he really, really, really wanted a steak.

So much so, that he snuck into a grocery store just before closing and prepared himself a feast after everyone left.

Runyon devoured SIX steaks (cooked right in the store), some beer, shrimp and birthday cake.

Our hungry friend was not so smart, though, as he fell asleep and was discovered the next morning.

Now, I get a hankering for a steak myself quite often, but I have never considered this method for obtaining one — or six.

I like to eat mine at home (after I have purchased them, mind you) and then I can fall asleep wherever I want without fear of being discovered.

That’s just how I roll.

Trevor, here’s a link to order your steaks online.  That way, you can eat them on your couch and take a little nap right there. The legal way.

You’re welcome.

It’s almost THAT time!

Time to gather around the table and, you know, FEED lots of people.

Need some inspiration? Ideas?

Check out this page for something traditional or different. YOU get to decide!

You’ve got your turkeys (surefire winners), prime rib roasts (exquisite) and smoked ham (no-brainer) but also Beef Wellington (different) and jumbo shrimp (your family will love you).

Have fun planning your best holiday meal ever!
