Menu For A Father’s Day BBQ

Long Island Iced Tea

5 Ingredient Grilled Pineapple Salsa

Smoked Country Style Pork Ribs

Old-Fashioned Bacony Baked Beans

Pasta Salad

Old-Fashioned Bourbon Bread Pudding

Long Island Iced Tea

Wait until you try this Long Island Iced Tea from my friend Stacy at Bricks ‘n Blooms.

In Stacy’s words, this recipe is an “oldie, but a goodie” and one cocktail recipe that is guaranteed to knock your socks off!

It’s the perfect refreshing drink to enjoy on a hot day whether you’re at a BBQ or just lounging around poolside.

If your dad is a fan of the classics, here is another lemonade cocktail recipe he might enjoy.

Lemonade Iced Tea

5 Ingredient Grilled Pineapple Salsa

This 5 ingredient grilled pineapple salsa recipe from Michele at Vintage Home Designs is both fresh and simple to make!

Serve the salsa with chips, or you can pair it with your favorite protein and enjoy it on top of freshly grilled chicken or fish.

Here are a few other appetizers that would make a great addition to your Father’s Day backyard BBQ spread.

Fresh Herb Dip | Deviled Eggs 2 Ways

Smoked Country Style Pork Ribs

I don’t usually love smoked meats, but I’ll make an exception for these smoked country style pork ribs any day of the week.

And once you try the recipe I think you’ll understand why. Juicy, tender, and slow-smoked to perfection, these BBQ ribs are finger-lickin’ good!

Here are some other grilling recipes your dad is guaranteed to love!

Steak and Vegetable Kabobs | Peach Glazed Pork Loin and Potatoes

Old-Fashioned Baked Beans

Nothing says BBQ food like baked beans and these old-fashioned baked beans from Anne and AnnMarie and Simply 2 Moms are the perfect easy summer side dish!

Oh, and did I mention this recipe calls for bacon? Ummm…yes, please! Because, in my book, the words bacon and barbecue go together like peanut butter and jelly. And bacon really does make everything better, don’t you think?

In addition to baked beans, here are some other easy-to-prepare side dishes your dad might enjoy.

Creamy Broccoli Salad | Classic Fruit Salad

Pasta Salad

When it comes to summertime side dishes, it doesn’t get more classic than pasta salad. This delicious recipe from Pasha at Pasha is Home is not only easy to make but it’s loaded with fresh seasonal veggies like broccoli and cauliflower.

This recipe can easily be doubled if needed and tastes just as good served up as leftovers as it does on day one.

Here are a few more of my favorite pasta salad recipes. They’re perfect for a Father’s Day cookout or any summer get-together and are always a hit with a crowd.

Cucumber Pasta Salad | Creamy Bacon Ranch Pasta Salad

Old-Fashioned Bourbon Bread Pudding

And what party would be complete without dessert? This old-fashioned bourbon bread pudding from Rachel at The Ponds Farmhouse is made with cherries and drizzled with a sweet bourbon-infused glaze.

Serve warm and enjoy with a heaping dollop of whipped cream or a scoop of rich and creamy vanilla ice cream.

If the dad(s) in your life has a sweet tooth like me, then here are a few other summer desserts to try.

No-Bake Lemon Berry Cheesecake Cups | Triple Berry Crisp

Old Fashioned Strawberry Peach Crisp | Smores Cookie Bars
