Fathers are very special. Mine certainly was. He passed on many years ago. Because of a job that often sent him out of town, he was not able to be at home all of the time, but he was always there when we needed him. I know that he would have wanted nothing more than a big, fat, juicy steak with baked potato and salad for Father's Day, and he would have been happy to do the grilling. Of course, we always wanted to do something a little more special. So, this year, in his honor, we will start the day with brunch including a Zucchini, Red Pepper and Onions Omelet, Homemade Breakfast Sausage, Hash Brown Potatoes from scratch, Berries and Melons with a Honey-Yogurt Cream and his mother's Molasses Breakfast Cake. For dinner, we are cooking some of his favorites, but with a few twists. Dad loved seafood so, as a starter, we will prepare Hot Crab Dip with Crostini. Since he loved a good pot roast, we are having a Grilled Chuck Roast with a Beer Marinade (he loved beer, too). Along side we will serve Roasted Cheddar Potatoes and a delicious Spinach Salad with his favorite Blue Cheese Dressing. Finally, we will make an easy dessert my mother made often when fresh fruit was in season, Fruit Cobbler. I think Dad would be very pleased. I hope you and your father enjoy!
