What is for Father' Day dinner?

[JFSinIL]

Marinating a boneless leg of lamb here for grilling later. Thank goodness ComEd came out 20 minutes after I called in a power outage (entire street appeared to be out) when I woke at 5am to use the bathroom and noticed all the electronics off. No idea how long off, but stuff in fridge - including lamb - still cold.

No idea for sides yet. Pastry-school dd making cupcakes.

 

Ok, found tiny taters at Sam's Club to be oven roasted, and coleslaw.

My dh is going to grill steaks, hamburgers and hot dogs.  Sides will be caesar salad and corn on the cob.  Dessert is apple pie and butter pecan ice cream (his favorite).

[Carol in Cal.]

Fish dinner at a coastal restaurant DH loves!

[Mergath]

We're having hamburger celery gravy and mashed potatoes. I offered to grill steaks, but no, dh wants the gravy. It was his comfort food as a kid and he requests it whenever he can.

[Garga]

Lunch out with his own dad, just the two of them.

 

Chicken and rice casserole at home with us. His choice. I was a little surprised at the choice, but happy because I love it, too!

[PuddleJumper1]

Grilled chicken and sausages, roast potatoes and a veggie.

Oh man. Yesterday we went shopping for it, and I'll be honest, it wasn't the most pleasant shopping trip. *I* would have made a menu and then a shopping list. My DH, OTOH, said our meal is going to be like a trip to Sam's Club (Costco), where we try all the different samples. He caught fish and wants to try it fried. He borrowed a friend's fryer and wants to try that out, too. I think our final menu includes:

 

Fried fish

Fried zucchini

Fried french fries

BBQ tri tip...

...on tacos

with beans and fixins

Hot dogs

watermelon

strawberries

corn on the cob

marshmallow brownies

strawberry cheesecake

 

I'm sure I'm forgetting something. Yesterday I was cranky, but today I said, hey, he wants to make it and there will be no shortage of food. And it's Father's Day. :)

[Ali in OR]

Grilled flank steak (marinating now), grilled zucchini, orzo with parmesan and basil, green salad. Ice cream sundaes for dessert.

[happypamama]

Steaks, burgers for those who prefer them (the younger children), baked potatoes, salad, maybe a green vegetable (oooh, maybe I'll make cheesy broccoli, and it can be a baked potato topping if desired!), and maybe parmesan mushrooms.  And probably a pie because my husband prefers pie to cake.

[Jenny in Florida]

My son and I offered to take my husband out to the veg Indian restaurant nearby, but the guest of honor says he would prefer Olive Garden. So, my son is now in charge of getting us on the wait list for a late-ish dinner after I get off work.

[creekland]

We ate dinner out (Prime Rib) with two of our boys (+ two friends) last night at a local diner for our "official" Father's Day meal.

 

Today - in less than half an hour - we're going to have grilled burgers, Berks hot dogs, cheese dogs (all on potato rolls), beets, sauteed beet greens, garden peas and sour cream or regular Herrs potato chips - all followed by cake and either mint chocolate chip or almond butter ice cream.

 

I'm pretty sure no one will have to eat again for a few days.

 

Oh wait... we have young twenty somethings here.  Yeah, they'll probably want supper.  At least three of them will be out on their own for supper (attending a concert nearby).  I have left over Prime Rib for my supper if I'm interested.  If not, it will keep until tomorrow.

[Lady Florida.]

Dh decided he wanted to grill. He's making bacon wrapped steaks and grilled vegetables (several different veggies). 

[ScoutTN]

Dinner at the pool, from the grill! Burgers or salads most likely.

[Chris in VA]

Ribs are in the oven now. Dh will finish them on the grill about half an hour before dinner. He just got home from church and lunch with the bishop, as it is Confirmation today.

[Debbi in Texas]

Reuben sandwiches. In all their buttery, fattening goodness!!

 

Picked up some of dh's favorite candies. (andes mints, butter mints, chocolate covered raisins, millionaire's)

 

That will be it.

[theelfqueen]

I'm thinking burgers. Cause that's about how fancy I am.

 

[alisoncooks]

We had a quick lunch at the mall food court after church. DH's birthday is tomorrow, so we're going to do big celebration then. Maybe Cheesecake Factory.

[JudoMom]

Grilled steak with blue cheese on top, zucchini slices with blue cheese, tomatoes, & basil, broccoli & bacon salad, hashbrown casserole, and lemon cheesecake bars for dessert.

[Loowit]

Steak, potatoes, and peas or broccoli. DH really have any preferences so I chose something I though he would like.

[kandesmom]

Pork roast, mashed potatoes and gravy, and green beans.

[happypamama]

I'm amused at how many of the menus have steak or burgers on them!  It seems men really like their meat. :)

[Audrey]

He made a new hot dog/smokie recipe, so we'll grill some of those with some veggies and I made his favourite potato salad and a lemon roll.

[Audrey]

Some, I'm sure.  Mine eats less and less meat these days.  I'm cool with that.

[J-rap]

We'll grill some marinated chicken and corn on the cob, throw in some baby potatoes and a salad, plus a key lime pie if I get off the computer so I can run to the grocery store and get the last ingredients I need!

 

[SparklyUnicorn]

I made chicken, rice, and green beans.

 

Later I'm grilling steak for me and sausages for DH.  He doesn't like steak. 

 

My dad has my older kid at his house out of state at the moment. 

[PrincessMommy]

burgers and dogs on the grill.  salad, beans and chips.   I made key-lime pie for dessert as it's my dh's favorite.

[MrsMommy]

I made dh's favorite dinner: fish tacos. With a triple berry crisp for dessert.

[amsunshine]

He requested pasta with a creamy sausage and tomato sauce with garlic bread.  Brownies for dessert.

[Laura Cook]

We are grilling. Burgers, hot dogs for the kids. Corn on cob, zucchini, baked beans and for dessert, DH's favorite, apple crisp with vanilla ice cream.

[zoobie]

Apparently nothing because he was officially in charge of it and it's 7:15 pm with nothing bought or prepared. (Mother's Day retribution.) I guess I will give up and feed the little kids something in a minute. Big kids can fend for themselves. Grrr.

Well, my vegetarian hubby was offered his choice of the veg Indian restaurant or Olive Garden but decided going out was too much trouble. So, I'm picking up black bean chimchangas to go.

[mamiof5]

For mine it'd be an offense to offer him chicken for Father's day 😂😂. Panda Express for us, dh is at a conference 😞

[frugalmamatx]

TV dinners :) 

[KrissiK]

Dh grilled burgers, I made an outstanding potato salad (thank you Betty Crocker cookbook), beans, chips, fruit salad and homemade ice cream. It was really good!

[Azalea]

DH made smoked ribs, I made Cajun potato salad and steamed vegetables. Later we will have sundaes with fresh whipped cream, spanish peanuts and homemade fudge sauce.

[knoxinsox]

We ordered pizza with his giftcard from the kids last night.  Tonight we walked over to the neighbor's and ate their BBQ.  Tasty!!

[IfIOnly]

Bbq pork steaks, salad, corn, simple but a favorite. We do breakfast bigger than dinner for Father's Day.

[1GirlTwinBoys]

Spaghetti & meatballs, salad, garlic bread and chocolate covered strawberries.
