Father's Day Recipes and Menu

Father's Day is a time to thank our fathers for all the special things they do. My father's favorite way to celebrate his day was with good food. In his honor, I created a menu that includes some of his favorites. The first course, steamed clams with browned butter, was a favorite appetizer that Dad and I shared often at a small, neighborhood bar and grill called Hemerley's. The main dish I chose was another of Dad's favorites, grilled rib eye steak. Even on Father's Day, he insisted on and was happy to do the grilling while Mom, with a little help from my brother and me, prepared the remainder of the dinner indoors. The side dishes I chose are grilled potatoes, roasted squash and a classic caesar salad, my father's favorite salad.

I complete this Father's Day meal with one of my father's favorite desserts, my mother's berry crumb pie and serve it with store-bought or homemade vanilla ice cream. For alternate choices, there are links to similar or related dishes on each of the individual recipe pages.
