Father's Day Lunch- Ken and I had our parents over on Sunday to celebrate Father's Day. I fixed a dish we like to call Bobby Chicken (the recipe was given to us from Ken's best friend Bobby). We also had cheese potatoes, salad, veggies, fresh corn on the cob, and fruit. It was a healthy meal if you don't count dessert!
Our Fathers: We gave our dad's recyclable Rams bags filled with goodies. Since we gave our moms recyclable bags for Mother's Day we decided to do the same for our dads. The bags were filled with: candy, Dad's Original Scotch Oatmeal Cookies (locally made), peanuts, potato chips made in North Dakota, and a gift card to Lowe's.
Homemade Ice Cream: One of my childhood memories is making homemade ice cream with my dad on Father's Day. Last Father's Day I attempted to make homemade ice cream and it ended up being ice cream soup! I decided to try again this year and although the ice cream was a bit thicker than last year's batch, you could still drink it. We discovered what I did wrong, and next year we will have homemade ice cream! Luckily I had bought a gallon of ice cream and a lemon pie at the store. I set up an ice cream bar with a variety of toppings: whipped cream, carmel, fudge, strawberries, cherries, nuts, and sprinkles! I also picked up a bag of Windmill cookies in memory of my Grandpa Freeman. I have found memories of eating Windmill cookies with grandpa every time I visited him. He always kept the strawberry cookie jar in his kitchen filled with these yummy cookies!
