Father’s Day BBQ 2021

by Leave a Comment

Father’s Day weekend is always a busy weekend filled with family celebrations with my family and Grouchy Husband’s family. It’s SO great to see my family and celebrate all the fathers and I love cooking and hosting them.

What I’ve learned from hosting is people like to graze on food so I always like to put together cut vegetables and fresh fruit platters. My favorite dips with cut vegetable is the Green Goddess Dressing from nocrumbsleft and Tzatziki Sauce from nom nom paleo.
I learned how to boil lobster and crack it out of the shell. It’s something you can do ahead of time which is great when preparing for a party. I used this lobster for lobster rolls.
My mom made zongzi, sticky rice wrapped in bamboo leaves.
My brother went fishing in the morning and brought home these porgies.
Salad is a great side for a BBQ.
Sesame cucumber salad from zenbelly. I love that BBQ’s are a contract of hot and cold foods.
Fried potatoes. Yum.
Pork souvlaki and tzatziki sauce from nom nom paleo.

Such a great weekend and I feel so blessed to be surrounded by so many loyal, self-less, loving fathers. Finished cleaning up the kitchen and now my eyes are ready to slam shut.

Cheers to all the great fathers,
Chrissy xo
