Memorial Day Recipe
Happy Memorial Day!!! What better way to celebrate the beginning of grilling season then with beer can chicken? Its beer, chicken and a grill! all the things summer is famous for. This chicken was actually the first large cut of meat I ever made on the grill. At first it seems intimidating but its really easy, all you need is a whole chicken and a can of beer. Actually I’m told you can use soda too but I’ve never tried, the alcohol cooks out and you don’t really taste the beer, it just adds moisture to the bird and helps the...

read moreDaddy’s Girl Health Tip of the Month – Let’s Dance!
Everyone knows you have to exercise to stay in fit and healthy, but it doesn’t have to be a chore. Why not take something you love and make it a great way to stay active. One way to do this is by dancing. Dancing really makes you work up a sweat and burn some serious calories, but it also relaxes and allows one to really let loose and forget you’re even exercising. It’s also a great way to show your daughter(s), or any other special little lady in your life that you know how to cut loose, while encouraging them to get moving!...

The importance of father-daughter relationships should never be underestimated. Men are the covering for their children, which means they are the protectors and priests of such. Fathers making a sincere and concerted effort to develop a strong and healthy bond with their daughter from the beginning helps lay the foundation for a strong relationship.
