Filet Mignons

What could be better than a simple filet mignon, grilled to perfection and topped with garlicky blue cheese?

Get the recipe here.

The Perfect Baked Potato Bar

Precook the baked potatoes in the oven or microwave, wrap in foil drizzled with olive oil and coated in salt, keep them warm and finish them on the grill.  Set-up a potato topping station.  If you are including sour cream and butter make sure you keep them on ice.  Get recipe.

Twice Baked Potatoes

Twice baked potatoes are one of my husbands favorite side dishes.  They are super easy to make but make a special side dish to grilled filet mignons.  Get the recipe.

Jolly Rancher Hard Lemonade is the perfect cocktail for an easy Father’s Day BBQ.  This is a favorite way to use homemade Jolly Rancher Vodka.

Remember to have a clean cooler filled with ice for beverages.

Grilled Veggies

Zucchini, squash, and asparagus tossed with spices and olive oil and grilled with a little citrus and garlic is the perfect veggie dish to serve alongside grilled meats and hearty enough to serve any vegetarians in the crowd.
