Share Your Father-Friendly Recipes!

[Alex Brecher 10,515]

With Father’s Day coming up next Sunday, I’ve been thinking about how we’re going to Celebrate, and wondering how all of you celebrate! I’ll probably end up with my kids and parents eating – thankfully – a healthy meal from the grill. I’m sure my dad will cook up some burgers and my mom will serve a nice spread of sides and Desserts, but my parents know I’ll fend for myself when it comes to healthy eating. They won’t mind when I show up with some chicken breast or ground turkey patties and a salad, so that is what I will do.

What are you planning to do for Father’s Day? How will you keep your eating clean? And, do you have any great recipes to share that everyone at the party will love?

We usually grill teriyaki salmon and mixed veggies for Father's Day because they are a favorite of my dad and husband. I'll have Asian cole slaw and salad for add ons, but I usually stick to the grilled foods.

Dessert will be strawberries, watermelon and angel food cake with whipped cream. I'm not a dessert eater, so...

Summer is almost too easy when it comes to a bariatric menu.

I LOVE and have cooked for my dad before - Peppercorn Pre-Seasoned Pork Tenderloin. He is a meat and potato guy though so I will probably make some sort of potato (that I will likely avoid) and then a salad. . (My recent favorite is Tomato, cucumber, green olive and goat cheese but he won't eat that either....) I think for another side I will make cheese stuffed jalapenos (reduced fat blue cheese and 1/3 fat cream cheese makes a great filling which I also love in roasted mushrooms!)
