GRANPA ENJOYS JUNE EATING

Barb made a nice platter of deviled eggs for a grandchild's barbecue birthday party!

Potato salad for a week night meal.

Lots of barbecue meals! Showing hamburgs and hot dogs! But I have been enjoying cooking chicken and steaks. As you can see I do not like gas barbecues but prefer my little charcoal one!  Cooking outside is so refreshing after being inside for so many months.

Bean salad with many summer meals is always a family favourite and so easy to make. Using those feeds of beans from the garden with canned romano or medley beans with some onion, garlic and Italian dressing!
These dishes are not from my original home in Italy but from my Canadian home with my Canadian family! Lots of good eating for all.

WARM WEATHER BRINGS BACKYARD BARBECUES

Potato Salad is great for any summer meal especially a Saturday night meal on the back porch.

Chicken wings on the barbecue.

A simple tomato/cucumber salad with olive oil and vinegar.

Oh those summer meals with fresh bread and white wine. Love the outdoors and the relaxation.

GRANPA LOVES A CHILD'S BIRTHDAY GET TOGETHER

Yesterday it was a fun time at one of grandson's birthday family get together. He turned 6! Burgers, sausages and hot dogs on the barbecue along with veggies &dip, potato salad, Greek salad, fruit platter and of course the birthday cake, it was a simple but tasty meal. A burger with all the trimmings- tomato, pickle, onion, ketchup  and mustard- sort of a preview to the warmer weather where more barbecues will prevail. The best thing for this cook well is I did not have to cook! Going out and enjoying a family time, eating well and not cooking is rather pleasurable. Granpa loves to cook but also likes a night off too!

 

 

Of course the cherry tomatoes with boccicni were a hit too!

ENJOYING MY PICNIC LUNCH

Picnics should be simple. So preparing the food in the morning before Barb and I set out on a short day trip, was such a simple task.

Cold fried chicken, potato salad and my simple cucumber/tomato salad eaten in a quiet spot far from the crowds. Kept simple in small travel cooler bags, it was easy to set up and clean up without much fuss!

Picnic for two-Adolph style. Now to think about what to have for dinner!

PREPARING FOR A PICNIC LUNCH

I don't like to eat junk food. Yes I will devour a large Dairy Queen ice cream cone but not the main meal. For our little day trip today, I am preparing a small potato salad, a cucumber/tomato salad with olive oil and red wine vinegar and pan fried chicken legs with garlic. I am sure Barb will provide some pictures later.
