Fathers Day Dinner

Father's Day Dinner

In planning for Father's Day, I wasn't sure how many to plan for.  So I decided on an easy menu- Hot Dogs, Corn on the Cob, Baked Beans, and Apple Pie. 

I made the Apple Pie a day ahead.  I decided to make a different pie crust    than the one I usually make.  I used a crust recipe from my Bouchon Bakery cookbook (called Pate Sucre) although I was running out of flour and it called for wheat flour and also Coconut flour so I used more coconut flour than was called for.  It turned wonderful and complimented the apple filling made from Granny Smith apples.  

I am writing this post with the dessert listed first but it was served at the end of the meal.  I listed it first because it was the dish most talked about at the table and afterward.  

I served Anne's Hot Ryes as an hors d'oeuvres.  

Cocktail rye bread is spread with chopped bacon, Swiss cheese, mayo, and chopped black olives.  It is a family favorite.  The spread is put on the rye bread and broiled, then cut in half.  

We barbecued hot dogs from Tip Top Meats in Carlsbad as well as corn-on-the-cob (buttered and seasoned)- then wrapped in foil and put on the grill.  I also made baked beans with bacon, red onion, red pepper, red jalapenos, honey barbecue sauce, and beer.  

He happy belated Father's Day to all the dads out there.
