A Fabulous Father’s Day Food Idea!

Now that summer is almost here, it’s time to soak in the warmer weather and spend more time enjoying the outdoors. And what better way to say hello to summer than with a barbecue! Father’s Day is fast approaching and a barbecue is the perfect way to celebrate with dad.

As a wise man once said, “food is the way to a man’s heart”, and dad will love a good barbecue with his family and friends. Not only do barbecues have great food, but they are also a fun and relaxing way for your little ones to say “I love you” to the most important man in their lives. Even better, why not try out one of our Kidco Kitchen recipes for this special day?

Over the past month, the Kidco Kitchen has been serving up delicious mini beef sliders. We hope your children have had a chance to taste this yummy meal. We at the Kidco Kitchen love these mini beef sliders! If you are having a barbecue this Father’s Day weekend, definitely try out this amazing recipe for the entire family. It’s easy and fun, but most importantly, it’s extremely tasty!

We also have a Kidco Kitchen Cheese and Tomato Slider vegetarian option. If you would like the recipe please send a quick e-mail to cstrelioff@kidsandcompany.ca.

Happy Father’s Day from all of us at the Kidco Kitchen! Please let us know what you think of the recipe. We’d love to hear from you!
