Meal-time in the Watson household, which consists of Watson, his wife, and their two sons who are three-years-old and two months-old, is a phone-free chance for the family to connect. “We just take this time to come together as a family and stay up to date on what’s going on in each other’s lives,” he says. “That’s more important than ever in today’s world.” “The Dad Special” is a celebration of food, family, and fathers who cook. Featuring chefs, celebrities, and kitchen crazy dads, this collection highlights meals — from family secrets to quick kid delights — meant to honor time spent at the table. On weekends, the Watson family often has picnics, even if they take place only in the backyard. And yes, he loves to grill. But he’s also a fan of making big, slow-cooked family meals like this homemade lasagna recipe. Watson cooks it frequently and has streamlined the recipe to make a bit easier for families on the clock. The end result is still rich and hearty, pure comfort food. It makes for a great meal to sit down to at the end of the day to just unwind and enjoy one another’s company.
