Keep it simple for Father's Day with great grilling recipes, plus sides and desserts guaranteed to please.

Father’s Day can mean some serious grilling. Stores are filled with every gizmo and gadget a dad could use while tending the fire. Here at EatingWell, we think simple is better—especially when the whole idea of the day is to spend time enjoying the family. How about a simple cookout? Dad may still man the grill, but he’s not stuck there all day! Try our Mexican-themed menu or go for the more traditional meal of burgers and salads. Wash the car, mow the lawn and sit down to a great meal. Don’t forget to raise a glass and toast your world’s best dad.
