Hello friends!

Today we celebrate the men in our lives; our own fathers, our husband’s, uncles, anyone who stood in as the father figure.

I like to recall the great times I was blessed to have with my father, my Uncle Jim, celebrating my hubby with my kids. Now, two of my sons are fathers, and it’s an honor to see them grow into their roles and raising my amazing grandies.

My hubby is a wonderful father, my best friend and we’ve been blessed with 41-derful years.

He’s not much for sweets, usually. I decided to snazzy up a favorite, and I’m happy to share the recipe with you!

1 stick butter

1 bag mini marshmallows

1 cup semi sweet chocolate chips

1 cup coconut flakes

1 teaspoon vanilla

1 box of Rice Krispies, less 2 cups

Melt the butter, then add marshmallows, stirring till almost liquid. Remove from heat and add vanilla, mixing in well. Add coconut, mix in, then add the cereal. Stir, stir, stir till combined, them add the chocolate chips. Mix well. Pour into a 9 in x 13 in baking dish lined with wax paper or parchment paper. Using another piece of wax/parchment paper, press it down and even out. Place in fridge at least an hour before serving. Cut into squares or rectangles. Enjoy!!

I know these man made holidays can be painful. Many did not have a father they could rely on, for many reasons. There has been a lot of trauma in my life as well. But, as the Bible says, I try to keep my focus on whatever is true, lovely, noble, honorable. I hope you know that your Heavenly Father will never let you down. He is always watching, always listening, always merciful when we come humbly before Him.

Have a wonderful day, whomever you are celebrating 🧡

Till next time, God Bless
