Ann Kelly back in Kelly’s Kitchen, with congratulations to Diana Harkey of Odessa, the winner of our Father’s Day prize pack, which includes a $50 Sweetbay gift card and a special set of World’s Best Dad Tervis Tumblers! Diana told me although this picture was taken about 25 years ago with her Dad, the memories last a lifetime. I couldn’t agree more, Diana. To all of our Dads this weekend, what more can we say than thanks and we love you.

My weekend is going to be the best! Company is coming, and anytime I spend time with my friends, that usually means something on the grill and something fresh out of the oven. I’m going to make at least a double batch of the Flourless Peanut Butter Cookie  recipe. Thanks to my friend Laura for sending along the recipe for another sweet treat that uses Nutella. I tried that for the first time recently, and can I say I could sit down with a spoon and a jar of Nutella, and be very happy?! It’s a nice twist to Banana Bread. Here’s the recipe – let me know what you think. With my friends Read and Lori making a visit this week, the crockpot will also get a workout at least once or twice this next week, and one of those recipes will be thanks to Sweetbay, since they have the split chicken breast packs on sale at buy one, get one free! You can always find your own recipes as www.sweetbaysupermarket.com just in case you need something special for Dad. The guys will enjoy the Zesty Slow Cooker Barbeque Chicken, that I found when I was watching Five Ingredient Fix on the Food Network. I stopped in to Sweetbay after work Thursday night and found the Sweetbay Black Angus Top Round London Broil at buy one, get one free. We love a choice, so choose what Dad loves the most.

Bet you’re already thinking about the 4^th of July! Do you live in one of those cool neighborhoods where it’s practically a contest to see has the best backyard barbeque? Or are you a secretive chef that makes everyone want your recipes? We’re going to be looking for those recipes soon for your chance to win a $50 gift card from Sweetbay!

Kelly’s Kitchen is always open, 24/7 and we’d like to know where you eat, what you love about your kitchen, and love to see you cooking with the kids. Share those at 949comments@coxtampa.com .

Happy Father’s Day!
