Happy Father's Day




To celebrate our Father's Day we had a picnic outside on the patio in the hot and humid weather. But we kept cool under the shade canopy and alternating dips in the pool's refreshing water.

Because the weather was so hot I wanted to keep the meal simple to cook yet not sacrifice the type of hearty meal we are used to at gatherings.

Simple Menu:

Vegan Hot Roast Beef Sandwiches in Homemade Gravy

Topping choices of Daiya Mozzarella, Fried Peppers, and Horseradish.

Sides of Homemade Vegan Potato Salad with fresh herbs from the garden.

Grilled sugar sweet Corn on the Cob.

Kettle Cooked Potato Chips.

Homemade Avocado, Grilled Corn, and Cilantro Salsa severed with Brown Rice Chips.




AND DESSERT...My very first time creating... Vegan Lemon Tartlets topped with Vegan Whipped Cream and Mixed Cherry Berries gently sweetened with Agave Nectar.






Dessert was definitely the hit of the meal. Fresh with sweet and tart notes of citrus and berry.

  2. Thank you. Although, I think my mother would be the dessert's biggest fan!
