With Dad’s big day coming this Sunday I thought I would share my Fathers Day Gift Round-up for some interesting last minute ideas.
Assorted Spices from Pereg
- Does your Dad love to grill?What is it about Middle Eastern cuisine that’s so flavorfully satisfying? From Turkish kabobs and Iraqui kibbeh to Israeli shawarma and Moroccan tagines, something magical happens when fresh ingredients and hearty seasonings meet over an open flame. Enter the meat rub, the essential secret of every Middle Eastern pantry.Closer to home, it’s well-known that a good rub is a grill chef’s best friend. Rubs seal in flavor, form a tasty crust, add color, and have a long shelf life. They’re also easy to use. No need for marinades because rubs do all the work. Best of all, they impart an addictive flavor to everything they touch. But the term “meat rub” is a bit of a misnomer, say the spice experts at Pereg Natural Foods. Classic blends like ras el hanout and koobah partner as beautifully with fish and vegetables as they do with steaks and briskets.In the Middle East, families hand down their secret spice blends from generation to generation. That’s why there are as many variations of rubs as there are households!
But you don’t have to be an heir to access the traditional ingredients and proportions behind these exotic mixtures. Pereg scours the world for fresh, natural, 100% pure spices, bringing more than 100 years of expertise and quality to the table.

A trio of yummy Kumana Avocado Sauces
Perfect finishing touch for a shrimp taco.
2. And if Pops is into tacos nothing can beat the yummy avocado sauces from Kumana! I’m here to let you know that it’s easy to bring mouthwatering goodness to the dinner table–just use Kumana Avocado Sauce! Whether you’re having ham, green beans, or shrimp tacos drizzle Kumana on top and get your taste buds sizzling.
Inspired by a beloved Venezuelan staple that is traditionally served on grilled meats, sautéed veggies and sandwiches, Kumana is an avocado hot sauce that’s crafted from veggies and fruits such as avocados, fresh onion, bell pepper, cilantro, garlic and just a splash of vinegar. . . fresh and light, it offers pizazz on everything!
Kumana is available in three palate-awakening flavors:
Be Hot is like a South American Sriracha. This habanero pepper infused avocado sauce is not tongue-numbingly fiery – so the tangy taste of avocados & onion shines through.
Be Original, the flagship sauce, is packed full of flavor from ripe avocados, onions and green bell peppers mixed with our secret blend of herbs and spices.
Be Mango brings the balance to savory and spicy dishes with the perfect touch of fresh mango puree.
New Book “National Parks Our Living Treasure” by Dr. Gil Lusk
Author Dr. Gil Lusk
3. And if Daddy likes to travel this new book is a real winner.

Just Freeze and Squeeze!
Chanmé Frosé
4. With the warmer days of summer almost here I know your Father will appreciate some icy cold beverage besides beer. Can’t be bothered with carrying around a glass bottle? Chanmé Frosé, a lightly sweetened and frozen version of Rosé wine that is intended to be enjoyed anywhere and at anytime. Whether you’re out on the boat, or hanging by the pool or beach, or even camping this 100% real California Rose wine is your perfect way to cool off and celebrate.
Never buy pre-made mix, clean the blender or consume fake wine again – Chanmé Frosé is taking your summer drinking to another level.
Fond Bone Broth Variety
5. And if you Dad could use a boost of healthy energy an assortment of Fond Bone Broth is the way to go. Research shows bone broth could improve all of these things:
Gut Health: Chicken bone broth provides building blocks for the rapidly growing cells of the gut lining! Chicken bone broth is a precious resource for finding all of the valuable amino acids, collagen, gelatin and trace minerals your body craves!
Soothes Inflammation: Chicken bone broth has a soothing effect on areas of inflammation in the gut.
Beautifying: Rich in collagen, bone broth aids in healthy and plump skin, the healthy growth of hair and nails and the remineralizing of teeth.
Weight Maintenance: Bone broth is a good source of L-glutamine, an essential amino acid. L-glutamine was found in studies to reduce the Firmicutes in the gut, and therefore, aid in weight loss. Firmicutes are heavily linked with obesity.
They brew for 24 hours and infuse their bone broths with smart ingredient combinations like turmeric and cracked pepper. They ONLY use pasture-raised chickens for a gelatinous bone broth free of additives, plastics, and acids. Their bone broth are super gelatinous and naturally free of gluten, sugar carbs and fats. They never use ingredients that have been treated with GMOs, pesticides, antibiotics or growth hormones. It is high in protein and full of trace minerals you’ll be hard pressed to find in any other food.”
Steeped Coffee Bags
6. Is Pops a coffee drinker? Here’s a great gift for a man on the go. Steeped Coffee launched when serial entrepreneur and coffee lover Josh Wilbur decided to combine the convenience of a single-serving brew method with the premium quality of ethically sourced coffee. Wilbur wanted to redeem the environmental dilemma created by wasteful coffee pods. Happy to do the math, Wilbur points out over 10 billion unrecyclable pods accumulate in landfills each year – enough to wrap around the earth more than 110 times if placed side-by-side. Moreover, each type of pod depends on expensive and often moldy brewing machines, which are also unrecyclable.
It took Wilbur seven years to innovate the proprietary Steeped Coffee system that delivers fresh roasted, pre-portioned, precision ground, micro batched coffee in customized Full Immersion Filters. “Premium coffee roasters have shied away from offering their specialty beans in single-serve packaging because it’s been nearly impossible to keep ground coffee fresh, which quickly ruins the taste,” said Wilbur. “With our Nitro Sealed bags, oxygen is replaced with nitrogen, so the coffee stays fresh as if it was ground moments ago.”
“Steeped Packs are the easiest way to make a delicious cup of coffee,” Wilbur Says. “You shouldn’t need to perform chemistry before you’ve made your coffee.” Simply steep each Steeped Bag in hot water for about five minutes to allow the coffee to develop its distinctive body and flavor. There is no machine, no noise, no cleanup, no destructive waste.
As for flavor? Even the most discerning coffee connoisseurs in the industry are singing the praises of Steeped Coffee. Barista Magazine is a believer: “Like a tea bag—but for coffee? This new product from Steeped Coffee might just be one of our fave new ways to brew coffee on the road.”
