Father's Day menu, share it! So my Dad came over for a cookout yesterday instead of going out to eat. I'll share my menu because I wanted to get ideas for other dishes to try when people come over! I went strawberry picking the day before so I had a ton of fresh strawberries, I made 9 jars of strawberry jam, YUM! For an app, I tried to make butter poached lobsters.... only I caramelized the butter by accident with the tails in so those were caramelized, and then the knuckles and claws were butter poached. Overall it was good, but not what I was trying to do! LOL For the main course, we had grilled Delmonico steaks with some gourmet Vidalia onion steak sauce I bought at the farm store. We had tossed salad that had edible flowers in it, very pretty salad I thought. I made potato salad with apples, red pepper, olives, red onion and fresh chopped basil that was so fragrant! We were supposed to have corn on the cob, but it didn't cook in time! LOL For dessert, we had strawberry shortcake, I made the whipped cream fresh, and crushed up and sweetened the strawberries fresh. Dad was grateful and full when he left, but I've realized I am definitely not cut out to be a Hells Kitchen contestant, that's for sure! There goes that dream! LOL :D So what was on your menu yesterday (even if you ate out!) |
My youngest brother got our dad a new grill, so it got a workout. Burgers, dogs, and brats. Potato salad and baked beans on the side. And Mom's homemade chocolate ice cream to top it all off. No one left hungry, that's for sure! |
we didnt have anything grand but your menu sounded wondeful! ;) |
Thanks! I tried to make it special for my Dad since it was a combo birthday dinner too! |
Wow what a lovely dinner. I did not see my dad. I saw him last week. We went our for Japanese food. |
We did a little party at home but your menu is very enthusiastic and I am wanting to try it on my Fathers birthday next month to make it more special. Thanks for sharing. |
