This weekend, we hosted a big birthday bash in our backyard to celebrate my Dad’s birthday. It was a lovely party (if I do say so myself) and we served roasted Tri-tip, grilled chicken, potatoes and pepperonata, cauliflower, white bean and feta salad, and a green salad. For dessert, Marie Callender’s pies (Dad’s choice) in Dutch apple, strawberry, pecan and coconut cream. If you went away hungry, it was your own fault!
Thanks to my sister Erica for bringing the lovely appetizers, and my friend Pat for the Potatoes and Pepperonata (from the Frog Commissary Cookbook). The meat was from Costco, seasoned with a spice rub from Penzey’s. And I made the Cauliflower Salad from last week’s menu plan.
