Father's Day Tips
by Cindi Sutter, Chief Communicator & Editor of Spirited Table®
Whether you call your Dad…Dad, Father, or as we say in the South, Daddy, or in the case of my maternal grand-father, Daddeo- my paternal grandfather Popsi…or probably whatever the oldest grandchild named them, let’s all create, make, cook, build, write, paint or do an activity with them. Whatever your gift is…plan ahead with me now and just do it.
Over the past five years we’ve come up with some great tips and recipes, (see below) and the Tastemakers and I will keep adding to the creativity of the past as we move closer to June 16th. This photo sums it up pretty nicely.
