For The ‘Nacho Average’ Dads

June 12, 2020 York, Maine

… See what we did there? Father’s Day this year may be a bit different but that doesn’t stop all of us from showing the favorite man in our life how much we appreciate them. And, what better way than with food?!

If you’re stuck on what to make, look no further! We took our Father’s Day recipe ideas to the (virtual) streets and asked all of you what you’re planning on cooking up this year. Let me tell you, after reading all the answers, I had to participate in some serious eats!

Below you’ll find a compilation of some incredibly delicious recipe ideas for you to consider when you’re creating your Father’s Day menu but be warned, you may not want to read these on an empty stomach!


Breakfast. “Waffles are just pancakes with abs.”

Everyone knows that breakfast is the most important meal of the day. So your dad wakes up, he walks downstairs and on the table he sees…


Breakfast Option #1: Your Traditional Fuel
A stack of traditional pancakes made with our Farmhouse Pancake & Waffle Mix and drizzled with a generous amount of our Organic Bourbon-Barrel Aged Maple Syrup. Pair that with some fresh fruit, a big glass of OJ and a hot cup of coffee using our Farmhouse Breakfast Blend Coffee.

Breakfast Option #2: The “Maine” Meal
This option starts with popping open a jar of our Wild Maine Blueberry Jam, setting it on the table waiting for the blueberry scones to be done in the oven! While he’s waiting for the timer to go off, serve him up a hot cup of joe or if coffee isn’t his thing, pour some Wild Maine Blueberry Tea in his favorite mug!

Breakfast Option #3: The “Going All Out” Breakfast
Start with a celebratory Bloody Mary featuring Bloody Mary Olives and other fun toppings such as pickles, bacon, shrimp, asparagus or cheese! When he’s happily sipping on his liquid (pre)meal, use our Traditional Crepe Mix to cook up a savory treat with asparagus, salmon and herb cheese.



Lunch. “Alpaca lunch if you come along.”

We suggest a light lunch because dinner will end the day with a bang. Mid-day fuel is key for a happy dad! Whether your family is going for a walk, doing house projects at home or finding another adventure, make sure to pack…


Lunch Option #1: Sandwich and Snacks
Top your grilled chicken sandwich with our Roasted Garlic Aioli and don’t forget to grab the Ultimate Bar Mix for a little crunch compliment.

Lunch Option #2: A Seaside Lunch
Mix lobstah with our Farmhouse Mayo, toast a roll, line with a piece of romaine lettuce and fill it up with your lobster mix for a delicious roll! Cook up some fries and pair it with our Country Ketchup. Tastes real nice with a cold beer like a light IPA or a Pilsner.

Lunch Option #3: Let’s Guac and Roll!
Make your famous homemade tacos and lay out guacamole, using our Guacamole Starter, and our Mild Tomato Salsa for the toppings. You can’t eat tacos without a delicious Margarita, right?



Dinner. “Lettuce Celebrate.”

Treat him to a delicious meal before you call it a day! Here’s what you may have going on in your kitchen and believe me, a few of us from Stonewall may just join in at the dinner table…


Dinner Option #1: The Ultimate Moo
Grill up some burger patties and top them with our Chipotle Aioli, lettuce, tomato slices, bacon and American cheese. Share the plate with a side of fries and our Horseradish Aioli for dipping!

Dinner Option #2: A Chill Meal
Combine the Arrabbiata Sauce and Chili Starter for a spicy chili base. Lightly drizzle our Garlic Parmesan Dipping Oil over sliced bread and toast for garlic bread. Serve with his favorite glass of red wine!

Dinner Option #3: Restuarant Quality Meal
Top your roasted pork loin with our Classic Fig Jam. Share the plate with a mix of fresh herbs, cherry tomatoes, cucumbers, bell peppers and red onion with Orzo for a side salad.



Dessert. “You Are Weird Dough.”

Who doesn’t like dessert? For the man with a sweet tooth, here's a few options...


Dessert Option #1: A Smokey Treat
Treat your dad to a Smoked Manhattan and don’t forget to add a few of our Bourbon Bada Bing Cherries. We all know it's the cherry that brings it over the top!

Dessert Option #2: An Ice Cream Sandwich
Bake up our Classic Chocolate Chip Cookie Mix the night before so that the night of, you can add a scoop of his favorite ice cream in between two cookies and drizzle some of our Sea Salt Caramel Sauce over the top for a refreshing treat!

Dessert Option #3: You’re the Zest Dessert
Use our Lemon Curd as the main ingredient in your Lemon Curd Pie and pair it with a (big) scoop of vanilla bean ice cream! You can’t go wrong with that flavor combination!

Celebrate Father’s Day with Thoughtful Gifts from Stonewall Kitchen



Every Father’s Day is an opportunity to celebrate the men who make life richer—fathers, grandfathers, stepdads, and father figures who share wisdom, humor, and support through every stage of life. Finding the right way to say thank you can feel challenging, but with Stonewall Kitchen, it’s easy to give dad gifts that feel both meaningful and memorable.

Whether he’s a grill master, a foodie, or someone who enjoys quiet moments with his morning coffee, our collection of gifts for fathers is filled with handcrafted flavors and thoughtful touches that make every experience a little more special.

Fire Up the Flavor with Grill Sauces and Seasonings



For the dad who loves to grill, nothing says appreciation quite like bold, smoky flavor. Our grill sauces and spice blends are made with the same attention to detail that he brings to every perfectly cooked steak or burger. From tangy barbecue to spicy chipotle, each sauce transforms backyard favorites into gourmet creations.

Pair a few bottles with our signature spice rubs or dry seasonings for a complete Father’s Day gift set he’ll reach for all summer long. Whether he’s firing up the grill for family gatherings or experimenting with new marinades, these sauces make cooking outdoors even more enjoyable. It’s the kind of thoughtful gift for your father that keeps on giving—bite after delicious bite.

Satisfy His Cravings with Gourmet Snack Baskets



If your dad is the type who loves a good snack between meals (and what dad isn’t?), our snack baskets are guaranteed to please. Filled with savory favorites like pretzels, mustards, dips, and crunchy mixes, these baskets make the best presents for dads who enjoy simple pleasures done exceptionally well.

Each one is carefully packed and beautifully presented, making it easy to gift without any wrapping required. Add in a few of his favorite grilling sauces or a jar of jam for a personalized touch that shows how well you know him. These presents for fathers are ideal for sharing—or not sharing—during game day, backyard barbecues, or an evening of relaxation.

Fuel His Mornings with Premium Coffee



For many dads, coffee is more than just a morning ritual—it’s a must-have. Our robust, flavorful blends make a great addition to any gift ideas for dad list. Pair a bag of our Vermont Coffee Company blend with a mug, pancake mix, or a sweet treat from our baking selection for a thoughtful and satisfying Father’s Day food gift.

It’s a warm, comforting way to start his day, whether he’s an early riser or simply enjoys a slow weekend morning. Because sometimes, the simplest gestures—like a really good cup of coffee—are also the most heartfelt.

Add Comfort and Character with Candles and Soap



Even the most practical dads appreciate a touch of comfort at home. Our candles and soaps, crafted with high-quality ingredients and masculine scents, bring subtle sophistication to his space. Think warm wood tones, crisp citrus, and earthy notes that create a calm, inviting atmosphere.

These small luxuries make wonderful great gifts for dad—ideal for the dad who values craftsmanship and detail, or for the one who could use a little relaxation after a long day. Combine a candle and soap set with a few of his favorite snacks or a bottle of sauce to create a unique Father’s Day gift basket that’s personal and polished.

No matter his personality or passion, there’s a Stonewall Kitchen gift that fits him perfectly. For the foodie father, the weekend chef, or the coffee connoisseur, our products make gifts for fathers that are both useful and indulgent. Every flavor, scent, and detail has been crafted to make his day extra special.

This Father’s Day, skip the ordinary and surprise him with something he’ll truly enjoy—whether that’s a delicious snack basket, a new grill sauce to try, or a quiet morning moment with his favorite coffee. Because when it comes to celebrating Dad, the best gifts aren’t just given—they’re shared, savored, and remembered.
