Father’s Day is right around the corner, y’all! I’m teaming up with The Fresh Market to share five easy tips for building a summer tablescape and give you the scoop on an awesome Father’s Day deal. This Father’s Day, The Fresh Market is helping treat dad to a delicious meal deal he’ll love – for only $29.99. Available in-store from June 15-17, the Father’s Day meal deal features four gourmet burgers; smokehouse barbecue beans; creamy coleslaw; crisp corn; freshly baked, golden potato hamburger buns; a mini seedless watermelon; and several choices of mouthwatering desserts top off the sweet deal. I’m going to be out of town for Father’s Day so I celebrated this past weekend by grilling out with my family, and y’all, everything in the meal deal was delicious. The corn and watermelon were both perfectly ripe. I love to whip up a chili-lime butter to kick corn on the cob up a notch. Check out the recipe below:

Chili-Lime Butter

Ingredients

  • 1 stick of butter, softened
  • 1 tbsp lime zest
  • 1 tsp chili powder

Directions

  1. Add all ingredients into a small bowl and mix to combine.
  2. Spread on corn on the cob and enjoy!

Grilling and Father’s Day go hand in hand. I’m not sure I’ve ever met a dad who doesn’t love a burger! The Fresh Market offers a selection of gourmet burgers, like bacon and cheddar, gouda and portobello mushroom, and philly cheesesteak, that make grilling season so fun! We toasted our golden potato hamburger buns and topped with our favorite condiments – make sure you get both sides of the bun. Check out more grilling ideas here. 

Since it was a celebration I wanted to make things a bit more festive rather than using paper plates and napkins like I usually would for a cookout. I put together a summer tablescape in five easy steps:

Use Bright Linens

Summer is all about the vibrant colors. Make an easy statement by using bright linens. I used orange printed napkins and layered three as a mini table runner under my flowers.

Add Fresh Flowers

Florals are a must for summer. The Fresh Market has the best selection of fresh florals; I picked up these bright and happy sunflowers that perfectly complemented my tablescape.

Serve Family Style

I love a family style dinner, it creates a fun and interactive atmosphere. Plus food is the best decor!

Let the Food Shine

Summer brings the most colorful produce.. bright yellow corn and juicy red watermelon. Let the food show off and keep your serving ware a neutral white or clear.

Dine Al Fresco

It is summer after all! Dining outside lends a natural background so you don’t need much decor at all. I think it offers a more relaxed atmosphere as well and encourages your guests to linger as the sun sets and fireflies come out.

As you can see, my dad was a big fan of the whole meal! And $29.99 for your Father’s Day meal can’t be beat. I love that I can find seasonally fresh produce, meat and seafood I can trust, and delicious baked goods.. all the foods I love at The Fresh Market! Find The Fresh Market closest to you here.

Biscuits (& burgers) & blessings,
