Need Ideas for Father's Day Dinner

[DessertDivaFL]

I want to make a great Father's Day meal on Sunday night and I am curious what you guys are doing.

Does anyone have any suggestions? I am also celebrating my mom's 70th birthday too! What recipes would "knock their socks off"?

Where do you get your tomatoes?Teresa, you may have a few extra guests at your front door Sunday!

Are your tomatoes from your garden? We had tomatoes pulled from our stores because of the e-coli outbreak.

Here is the recipe:http://www.chefsuccess.com/f7/leeks-25386/index2.html#post289448No, it doesn't use leeks, just shallots...that was the thread name...

 

[Teresa Lynn]

no, the tomatoes will be from the farmers market on the vine (which is the only way I make them)

these all sound good, maybe we will just come to one of your homes ha ha
We are leaving for vacation the day after so I am not sure what we are going to do, we may just grill out, nothing fancy. I had to cook my mother's day meal, so maybe DH should cook his

Prime Rib is always good to make for a dad.

Dh doesn't let me celebrate father's day for him because he says he isn't my father...I might make calzone's. They are one of his favorites and I make really yummy ones.

Then, because he loves veggies sooo much I'll make a ceasar salad to go along with it.

We'll just treat it like any other father's day.

I read this and the first thought that came to mind was...














Who's your daddy?














Yes, bad...I know...it's a Friday and the MIS department at work was a little wild today!

That's funny, Janet! On that note I'm off to take a Zyrtec, pray my itchy eyes calm down for the night, and veg on the recliner, which I now have all to myself!

Hey, and you can even chose which show to watch!


I went to the grocery store today and splurged on a piece of Beef Tenderloin for us...why wait to Father's Day when DH is working all day - we're eating it tonight!

Yum, yum! Almost done on the grill...that rosemary and garlic tastes great! ...my Bourbon Cream sauce is done and waiting!
