My Favorite Father’s Day Recipes
It’s often said that the way to a man’s heart is through his stomach.
I might take it a bit further. While I always believed I had my dad’s heart, I also knew he was likely to say “yes” more than “no” when treated to a favorite food. In my dad’s case, that meant bread pudding and anything blueberry.
Even though I’m a full-grown adult, I still love my dad’s “yeses.” And I know some delicious ways to get them with these mouth-watering recipes!
