Serve up som e love this Fourth of July
Grill with your children for an exciting shared experience
Family Features
Many of today’s families have something in the kitchen that previous generations didn’t - more men involved in meal preparation. On the Fourth of July, that trend will likely continue as men, especially fathers, take to the grill to prepare popular summer fare for the family.
As millennials shatter stereotypes and share household tasks, fathers are using cooking as a way of bonding with their children by making family meals together.
Men are also among the ranks of the top food bloggers, often writing about their cooking adventures with their children. Among them is Derek Campanile of “Dad with a Pan,” whose passion for cooking and sharing recipes grew even stronger with the birth of his son.
“When I cook with my son, food is so much more than food - it’s pure love. Cooking together makes it fun to come to the table and enjoy great food” Campanile said.
Many times, fatherly chefs include meat in all kinds of recipes, but swapping in an ingredient like Jennie-O turkey for beef makes it easy to modify their favorites into more nutritious choices for the entire family without sacrificing flavor. Give it a try with this Easy Cheesy Burgers and Stuffed Rio Grande Turkey Popper recipes that makes it simple for parents to cook with their kids this Fourth of July.
