This is the dinner I made for my hubby as a pre-Father's Day celebration.
A mixed grill dinner: Char's Ribs, from Low-Carbing Among Friends, vol-1, Rib-Eye Steak (14 oz), Lower Sodium Eggplant Parmigiana, Caesar Salad and Faux Stuffed Baked Potato (recipe below). He loved it! He had fun trying to finish it all, but, of course, it was way too much food. LOL We put that much together for the photo shoot - so that it would look extra yummy!
Happy Father's Day to all the Dads out there who are so deserving. Here is yet another Father's Day Feast to feast your eyes on!
