The Father's Day Menu

& a Furry Surprise 🐢

Simply Made Eats by Tara

We got a puppy and she's soooooo cute. Her name is Penny (short for Penelope) and she's my new best friend, and Hutch's (our 2 year old lab) current enemy. I think once she gets bigger, he will learn to love her. I was not anticipating his bad attitude.

Puppies are like babies and it's good they're cute. I haven't slept well in 6 nights and she pooped in my room yesterday. I love her though.

This weekend is Father's Day and whether you're taking over dad's grill or dad's cooking, here are some outdoor grilling ideas that will be a hit (my husband loves these).

Smoked Baby Back Ribs

This week I smoked these Baby Back Ribs low and slow on the Traeger Smoker. They're seriously so easy to make, but do require about 7.5 hours of cook time, so start them early in the day. Also, make sure you have enough pellets for your smoker. I broke my own rule and had to go to Costco while smoking.

If you've been looking for a smoker, we love our Traeger. Here's the affiliate link for Amazon (I receive a small commission at no cost to you if you buy it):

Blackstone Meals ALL Day & Find the Perfect Gift for Dad Simply Made Eats by Tara Okay, I thought Summer was supposed to be chill?! This week we packed in my daughter's 10th birthday party, orthodontist appointments, and our poor dog had to get fixed. He's pitiful walking around all groggy with his cone of shame. Oh, and my husband has some kind of weird lingering cough that has turned him quite grumpy. EEK! Anyways... It's almost Father's Day, and I thought we would do a bit of a grill...

High Protein Bowls Ready in Under an Hour! Simply Made Eats by Tara The kids are out of school and it's officially SUMMER! I'm headed to Nashville for a few days to see my hubby's two sisters and I can't wait (except I have to drive for 7 hours today). 😭😭😭 We're going to do a quick stop in Knoxville at a French crepe shop, so that will make the drive easier and we have 2 Bucees to stop at. Have you been? It's the wildest gas station EVER. I've been making High Protein Bowl recipes on repeat...

Memorial Day Meal Plan Easy to Make Crowd Favorites Simply Made Eats by Tara I'm not going to lie, the last few weeks were absolute torture, but I'm coming out strong. I had two dental extractions, followed by braces put on, then a dry socket and finished off strong with an infection in my gums. Life just kept throwing curveballs at me, and I'm hoping we're done for a bit. It also had me thinking about how grateful I am for my health and I should appreciate it more. The kids got out of school...
