Sorry it has taken me so long to get back on here. We just had some busy family time the past few nights!
Father's Day:
We had a great celebration of the dad's in my family by hanging out together getting my fathers boat ready to be put in the water. The kids had a blast cleaning and helping!
My mother did a great meal and was so kind to include Brian best she could.
Here was the menu:
Ribs that they put brown sugar and salt and pepper and olive oil and roasted them in the oven they were delicious. Those of you unaware Brian cannot even have simple BBQ suce or marinade due to the soy allergy. These were great!
Chicken cooked on the grill they did the whole chickens and put olive oil salt and pepper and again was so moist and yummy!
Broccoli steamed yum!
Baked beans
Watermelon
Tomato, basil, mozzarella salad yum!
For dessert: my parents made homemade vanilla ice cream using the old fashioned machine that had rock salt use it was soooooo good.
We exchanged the gifts and played some more in the yard before it was time to go!
Here's a few ideas for fun with food:
go to your local farmers market during the season of summer and get your children into picking fresh foods and helping make them yummy at home
Make ice cream
Cotton candy or snow cones!
Take a trip to pick some local strawberries etc.
Lesson learned: make sure you really explain to people who come into your home bringing their own foods what you feel comfortable having in your home. For us, we don't allow bread or peanut butter here because of the crumbs and the chance of the peanut butter bothering Brian just having it in the house. You really need to set up your own ground rules and people will follow.
Hope you all had a great Father's Day as well with your loved ones!
