You know it’s almost Father’s Day, right? If not, that’s OK. I gotchu! One of the best gifts my husband, and my dad have both ALWAYS enjoyed is a great meal! Need some ideas, no problem. That’s what this post is all about!

Everything BBQ Rub

This everything BBQ rub is perfect for beef, pork, lamb, chicken, and sloppy joes. I have used this on wings, beef and pork ribs, and even lamb ribs, and have found it to be incredibly universal and flavorful.

This makes a small batch of the bbq rub, to make quantity adjustments easier. If you double or even triple it, simply add the bbq rub to a mason jar, put the top on, and shake it up. You’ll always have it on hand.

Recipe: Summertime Pasta Salad

I’m excited to share my latest take on pasta salad. This version is a simple and easy pasta salad that can be changed up to what you have on hand, making it a recipe for “Whatcha’ got in Your Fridge/Pantry”. This one I made to go with our BLTs. My eldest is not a pasta salad fan and even she ate this one (even the next day for lunch). This one can be changed a million ways, you can change the type of pasta, the meat, and the veggies. this is just what I wanted to use because I have leftover ham and broccoli.

Recipe: Mint Chip “Milkshake” Cupcakes

I am a huge Mint Chip Ice Cream fan (as is my oldest whom I made these cupcakes for). My oldest just had a birthday party recently and wanted some kind of fun cupcake for the party. Enter…. mint chip milkshake cupcakes. A fun play on basic cupcakes with a milkshake flair.

Last year, I made a cake that looked like a dragon (yes this kid is also really into dragons). But that was a lot. I had to bake the cake, freeze it, cut it, “glue it” and then frost and decorate it.
