Monarch Broil King Gas Grill

Well, if you’re like me and you dropped the ball on buying Dad the perfect gift—- it’s not too late!  hhgregg is my one-stop-shop for Father’s Day and all my summer entertaining needs.  Click on the video to see their MACDADDY Grill: The Monarch Broil King Gas Grill.  It has a dual-tube burner system which gives you a consistent flame from front to back– which means your food will cook more evenly and it’s less likely to burn.  The cast iron grids are reversible so one side gives you the perfect grill marks and the other side catches the juices to help you baste your meat.  And, instead of trying to get charcoal lit and ready, this grill starts with the push of a button.  

The Monarch Broil King Gas Grill retails at about $350, but hhgregg has a wide range of grills to fit any price point.  And, the BEST PART??  Partnered with NBC’s Atlanta & Company, this grill could be yours if you win “The Great Grill Giveaway” on July 2nd!  Just tune in at 11am to Atlanta & Company for details!  

Give Dad (and your party guests) the gift of a beer flight with your favorite brews!

Beer is the official drink of summer!  And the big trend right now is mixing up your favorite brews with a beer flight.  This is a great way to sample different kinds beers.  When you set up your flight, just go down the line and try each one– then you can share notes on the appearance, aroma, taste and mouthfeel. You just might find a new favorite!

Not only is this a cool gift for Dad, but it’s a great way to get your guests to interact at your party.  Plan to pick up some tasty summer favorites –I loved trying out these 4 signature beers:

First up– a classic Lager like Budweiser.

Second taste — Hoegaarden, which is light and refreshing, with a hint of cloves– this is a legendary WITBIER.

Third sip– Belgian White Ale– this Shock Top Lemon Shandy has a delicious lemon twist.

And finally, a local Atlanta pick like Sweet Water Blue which has a hint of blueberries.

Combining Grape Nuts with yogurt, almond milk, sliced apples and almonds makes a delish Apple Pie Pudding

Looking for a healthy, yummy breakfast the kids can make the night before?  Grape Nuts is a childhood favorite of mine— my Dad used to pour me a bowl in the mornings before school with milk and sugar— and then let it sit for 10 minutes to let the crunchy Grape Nuts soften just a bit.  I can still taste it!  This is a twist on my favorite breakfast, combining some healthy ingredients like Greek Yogurt, apples and chia seeds to make a homemade Apple Pie Pudding.  I like to chop up my apples and coat with cinnamon and sugar, but you can season it just the way you like it!  It makes for such a cute presentation when you put it in mason jars.  Just mix with ingredients, put the lid on and chill overnight in the fridge.  I halved the recipe for each mini mason jar– kid sized!
