Fathers Day is tomorrow have you planned out what you're cooking for dad? At our house instead of going out to eat we usually just plan to make one of my husbands favorite meals at home. Breakfast on the other hand is a special treat, so the kids will serve him breakfast in bed or we will take him out for a breakfast of his choice. It's really all up to him.
As a Walmart Mom I was challenged to come up with an inexpensive Fathers Day Meal for $30. When I was thinking of what I wanted to make I immediately thought of grilling. Anything cooked on the grill is always a huge hit in our house. So off to Walmart I went and this is what I came up with for our Fathers Day menu.
Grilled Hawaiian Chicken. Thai Coconut Rice, Grilled Corn on the Cob and Fresh Bakery Bread.
For dessert I made these easy Chocolate Chip Cookie Bowls W/Vanilla Ice Cream. A meal just wouldn't be a meal if you didn't finish it off with something sweet.
Dessert was easy peasy since we used refrigerated chocolate chip cookie dough. You can also substitute with your favorite homemade chocolate chip cookie recipe. I purchased the large 32 ounce cookie roll dough which yielded 8 cookie bowls.
To make the cookie bowls just cut and press 1/2 cup cookie dough into each (3 x 1 1/2 in ) ramekin. Spray them with baking spray just a bit first. Bake at 350 degrees for 18-20 minutes or until the tops are golden brown.

Let cool for 10 minutes and serve warm with a scoop of vanilla ice cream. Delicious is all I can say about these cookie bowls. This was Carson's favorite part of the meal because after his first bite he looked over at me and gave me a thumbs up!
Everyone loved the meal including my husband. Plus we came in under budget, so that was awesome. We definitely could not of went out to eat and fed our entire family for $23.00. What special meal do you have planned for Fathers Day?

And btw the coconut rice recipee is best served in hot or warm condition or cold? Because I have a infant that can't take a pretty hot food yet. Thanks :)
