July 21, 201412 yr Today is our sons birthday. I fixed on Saturday his favorites of crab legs, lobster tails, shrimp stuffed mushrooms, fresh green beans and a mixture of okra, tomato, onions and peppers with fresh herbs and baked potatoes. Tonight...his actual birthday I have grilled ribs, chicken tenders, and veal. Fixed fresh fried corn, tomatoes, onion, and cucumbers in a balsamic/honey and cilantro dressing, fresh green beans, cheese cake with fresh peach compote. What do you fix for your special occasion meals?
July 21, 201412 yr Steaks on the grill, grilled corn on the cob, potato salad, fresh Roma (no others will do) green beans, maybe a caprese salad as well. Seems like there are lots of special occasions during the summer at papa's place.
July 21, 201412 yr What is caprese salad? The way we do it is sliced tomatoes alternating with slabs of mozzarella cheese, garnished with fresh basil leaves. Drizzle with olive oil, salt and pepper (or substitute with/add balsamic vinegar).
July 21, 201412 yr ^ That sounds good. Pretty tasty with fresh ingredients and goes pretty much anywhere a tossed salad goes. Lots of times we'll just have pasta, bread and this.
