This Month's Feature Menu...just in time for Father's Day

Father's Day is just around the corner....so let's celebrate the leading man in your life! Why take Dad out for an expensive steak dinner when he could relax in the comfort of his own home. While you cook up his favorite feast- for a fraction of the cost.

Our dad's don't want us to spend hundred of dollars on them, they just want to enjoy our time together and this is a excellent way to achieve that. This meal is ONLY $3.56 per serving for a delicious, healthy 3-course dinner!!)
