1. Hazelnut Pancakes With Bourbon Maple Glazed Apples

Freddy Guy’s Hazelnut Pancake Mix from Oregon may be the best in the country. Top a fresh stack of Hazelnut Pancakes with caramelized bourbon apples? We have a winner for Father’s Day, Dad’s birthday or heck, any Sunday.

2. Pineapple Bacon Glazed Chicken Wings

Pineapple sweet meets bacon heat with these sticky, finger lickin’ flavor bombs. Make up a batch for the big game or an island inspired backyard cookout. Make sure to wash it down with a Frozen Pineapple Dark n’ Stormy.
