If Dad loves to be king of the grill

Surprise your dad with some juicy hot dogs or flavorful steaks straight from the grill and add a tantalizing touch with our Eastern Shore Honey. For your convenience, we've also got delicious kebabs that are easy to make and guaranteed to please. Get ready to fire up the grill and enjoy a smoky feast this Father's Day!

One of our favorite honey to use for grilling is Orange Blossom. This honey is very thick and almost buttery and makes a beautiful glaze. Blueberry Honey is equally good and can be blended with olive oil, seasonings, and lemon juice for chicken or fish. We will always share ways to use honey with every meal.

Father's Day Dinner Salad and Starters

This is a perfect time of the year to visit the farmers market and pick up whatever is straight out of the field. There is nothing better than fresh-picked produce with delicious handmade dressings. Honey Lemon Vinaigrette over your favorite greens is an excellent way to get this meal off to the right start.

We love to have a couple of exciting starters at family get-togethers. Especially the kind that you can pick up with your hands! If you're a fan of Asian-inspired food and wings, try our Thai Chicken Wings. It's straightforward to make and can be adapted to suit whatever cooking method you prefer. This recipe can be prepared the night before and served cold as a starter for guests as they arrive.

Artichokes may seem intimidating, but they don't have to be! Our Grilled Artichokes with Thai Honey Vinaigrette take a little bit of prep work to get ready, but they're delicious and very well worth it.

For Dad's Sweet Tooth

Grilled peaches are an easy dessert for any summer meal while the grill is still hot. So simple! Cut the peaches in half, wipe them with a bit of olive oil, so they don't stick, start face up and drizzle the inside of the peach with honey, and grill both sides. Serve with greek yogurt and Eastern Shore Nut and Honey Nut Granola. The perfect ending to a perfect dinner for dad.
