Treat your Father to a Healthy Cookout

Father's Day is just around the corner. Skip the tie and cook him up a healthy meal. Give the gift of good health to your Dad and celebrate him by throwing a Healthy Father's Day Cookout! Think simple.

For starters, whip up Taco Dip, Pita Chips, and fresh cut vegetables, while the family waits for the main course to finish.

Toss your Dad's favorite vegetables (mushrooms, zucchini, red onions) into a mixing bowl with one teaspoon of olive oil, salt and pepper then cook them on the grill until softened. Easy! 

For the entrée, try our H3 Teriyaki Pork Tenderloin Kabobs. Between the sweet Teriyaki Sauce, salty and tender pork, this dish is always a hit! Don't forget to add a few vegetables to bulk up each skewer.

Now, onto dessert. Grilled pineapple goes a very long way. Toss chopped pineapple on your grill, remove and drizzle with dark chocolate.  You will be thrilled with this sweet, juicy, treat.

Remember, the entire day is for your Dad so keep your meal simple. Instead of spending hours on a laborious meal, make an easy meal on the grill all the while enjoying time with your family.
