Hi Reader!

With Father’s Day weekend here, I wanted to take a minute to acknowledge all the dads, grandpas, husbands, father figures, and steady men who show up in quiet ways for the people they love.

I know this weekend can feel different for everyone. Some are celebrating, some are remembering, and some are carrying a little bit of both. Wherever you are in that, I hope this weekend brings a little time to slow down, gather around good food, and enjoy the people in front of you.

Since Father’s Day weekend is also a good time for grilling, smoking, and making a simple meal feel special, I wanted to share a few recipes that fit right in.

​The Best Award Winning Smoked Baby Back Ribs Recipe​

These smoked baby back ribs are tender, flavorful, and perfect for a weekend meal outside. If you are planning to use the smoker this weekend, this is a great recipe to make for Father’s Day.

​The Best Easy Homemade Smoked Meat BBQ Sauce Recipe​

And of course, a good rack of ribs needs a good sauce. This homemade smoked meat BBQ sauce is easy to make and pairs so well with ribs, pulled pork, chicken, burgers, or anything coming off the grill.

​Soft Sourdough Discard Rolls, Perfect for Any Meal!​

These soft sourdough discard rolls are a good side for just about any meal. They would be perfect with ribs, BBQ chicken, or even used as little sandwich rolls if you have leftovers.

​Super Soft and Fluffy Sourdough Dinner Rolls Recipe​

And if you prefer a long-fermented option, these sourdough rolls are a great choice. They take a little more time, but they are soft, flavorful, and perfect for serving with a from-scratch meal.

​Easy Rhubarb and Strawberry Jam Recipe Without Pectin​

If you want something seasonal to add to the table, this rhubarb and strawberry jam is a good one. It is made without pectin and has that classic early summer flavor that works so well on rolls, biscuits, toast, or even served with a simple dessert.

And if you still need a last-minute homemade gift, these two are practical ones to make:

​Homemade Natural Pomade Recipe, Tallow & Beeswax for Men’s Hair​

This homemade pomade is made with tallow and beeswax and would make a thoughtful handmade gift for Father’s Day. It is a simple natural option for men’s hair and can be made at home with just a few ingredients.

​Natural Deodorant Recipe, Tallow-Based, With Baking Soda​

This tallow-based natural deodorant is another practical homemade gift idea. It is useful, simple, and a good option if you like making everyday things from scratch.

I hope this gives you a few ideas for the weekend, whether you are smoking ribs, making rolls, putting up a little jam, or pulling together a last-minute handmade gift.
