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

Are your tomatoes from your garden? We had tomatoes pulled from our stores because of the e-coli outbreak. :(
 
Beef Tenderloin with Bourbon Cream Sauce
Garlic Mashed PotatoesDon't know what else...
 
...and my Mom turns 69 a few days after Father's Day. :)
 
mmmm bourbon cream sauce..to bad I am the cook in my house hold...mmm so what do I want to make for father's day...
 
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.

Make a cheeken. :) Bork, Bork, Bork! :) LOL
 
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.

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!
