We decided that this year we would host Father's Day, that way I could have more control over the menu. I think we did a pretty good job coming up with a feast that satisfied my need to feel included, but also served tasty things that our guests could enjoy. It looked like this:
Appetizers
- Tortilla chips with salsa and guacamole (and queso...which I obviously didn't eat)
- Antipasti platter with prosciutto, salami, olives and artichoke (and some bread and cheeses...again, I just avoided those)
Main Course
- Cheeseburgers (I had mine with a Daiya Provolone Slice, and ate it on an Ezekiel Brown Rice English Muffin)
- Pasta salad made with Explore Cuisine Chickpea Fusilli
- Grilled vegetables
- Watermelon
Dessert
- Rice Krispie Treats
- Ice cream (which I just avoided)
All in all I think it was a big success! I will say, I was a little disappointed in the chickpea pasta. Next time I will try something else. But the provolone slice and brown rice English muffin were great stand-ins for a bun and cheese, and will definitely be used again.
Happy Father's Day everyone!
