While Father's Day is for honoring dads, it's also a great opportunity to honor the men who have been father figures to us — stepfathers, grandfathers, uncles, even friends who have played that role in our lives.
This year, take some extra time to tell those men how much they've meant to you. A card or letter, a phone call or a face-to-face conversation — you'll give them a Father's Day gift they'll never forget.
To show them your appreciation, have them over for a special dinner. Grill up some chicken and top it with this Cilantro Cream Sauce. Serve with some southwestern-inspired rice.
