Mealtime Magic: Multi-Grain Flatbread Cheesesteak

Making Dad feel special on Father’s Day has always been somewhat perplexing. Should you get him another tie? Novelty cufflinks? A new garden tool? Whatever you decide, just remember this… On Father’s Day, one of the things that Dad enjoys most is spending time together as a family. What better way to help celebrate this than with a delicious and manly cheesesteak?

Here’s a recipe for a mouth-watering, better-for-you cheesesteak on Multi-Grain Flatbread, from Kontos Foods, www.kontos.com. Following the recipe is an additional bit of humor for kids and their Dads. We hope it helps make your Father’s Day extra meaningful this year.

Multi-Grain Flatbread Cheesesteak

Here is a little view on relationships for kids and their Dads everywhere … “Our relationship with dad through the years” (author unknown):

At age 5…  “Daddy, I love you”
At age 8…  “Whatever”
At age 10….  “Dad, don’t embarrass me”
At age 13….  “Dad, you’re so annoying”
At age 16….  “Dad, you don’t know anything”
At age 18….  “I’m leaving this house”
At age 25….  “Dad, you were right”
At age 30….  “I want to go visit my Dad”
At age 50….  “I don’t want to lose my Dad”
At age 60…. “I miss my Dad every day”
At age 70….  “I would give anything to be able to spend just one more day with my Dad”

Happy Father’s Day!
