Checklist for a Dad Recipe

Every guy should have a few go to meals or side dishes.  For a dish to make the "DAD LIST" a few critical criteria must be met:

• Taste Amazing - I rarely cook and when I do it needs to be impressive.  
• It has your signature - I want everyone in the family to say  - "We love when Dad makes ________". I want to make a memory as much as I want to make a meal.

Involves fire or the grill - It is way more fun to cook with fire and the kids love it.  The grill is a good backup because it is still outside

Your kids can help and they will actually enjoy helping.

• Your wife likes when you cook it and would prefer not to go to the hassle of making it.  I add this because once my wife starts making a dish it is always better than when I make it.
• Breakfast items are really good choices because your wife can get some extra sleep or spend the morning getting some time to herself.
• Use a piece of special equipment for example - waffle iron.  I also have a cast iron skillet that everyone calls "Dad's Skillet.
