Brunch – A Little History
Father’s Day Brunch
There are so many foods that dads like – barbecue, deviled eggs, salmon, French toast, blueberry pancakes, bacon, gelato, watermelon and more. Brunch, the combination of breakfast and lunch, may be a perfect way to celebrate the holiday since just about any food can suit your menu. So, what will your special meal for dad look like this year?
Menu #3 for a Comfort Food Loving Dad: Oven Fried Chicken or Lean Meatloaf with Mashed Potatoes, Great Green Beans, Stewed Tomatoes, Light Banana Pudding
Hint: Make the banana pudding with more bananas and less whipped cream.
Menu #4 for a Veggie Loving Dad: Veggie Chili or Veggie Omelet, Homemade Zucchini Bread, Cantaloupe with Berries
Hint: Cut up plenty of colorful Bell peppers in the veggie chili, along with local tomatoes, if you can find them.
Menu #5 for a Salad Loving Dad: Terrific Turkey Salad or Tuna Salad with Light Deviled Eggs, Pasta Salad and Fresh Fruit Salad
Hint: Make the deviled eggs with fat free Greek-style yogurt instead of mayo.
Make Healthier Eating a Family Affair
Healthy eating benefits everyone. So, I encourage you to make it a family affair. Start with your menu plans, then make a shopping list, then go to the grocery store. At the store, make a conscious decision to buy more nutrient-rich choices and fewer nutrient-poor choices. You’ll feel the difference!
