Fathers day party for 14...?

Question

Fathers day party for 14...

I'm having a family get together for F day this year...

Usually its midmorning for brunch, but this year its 4 pm. Expecting 12-14 family members. Any ideas for themes, recipes, etc? I have cookbooks and cookbooks just no idea what to make :)

Answer 1

If its fancy --> I would suggest a buttered bread with cheese as appetizer, a garden salad with a vinaigrette (olive oil, vinegar and dijon mustard, u can add a little bit of honey if u like), for the main course steak with orzo pasta combined with cooked onions and green and red peppers (to sweeten it up u can add some corn to it) or just with black beans, but be sure to spread some olive oil on top of it for moisture, for dessert u should make something with chocolate like a  chocolate mousse, because chocolate identifies more with the theme of fatherhood and its more like a manly dessert (if it was ur mom it would be strawberries)

If its casual --> u can buy some of those brown looking crackers and put some cheese slices with it, make spaghetti with meatbols  or burgers (never make hot dogs, cause its always messy) and buy some brownies and vanilla ice cream.
