Meal Plan Monday #11 Dad’s Favorites

As you read this, I am preparing to bury my beloved Dad. You all have read a lot about him on the blog, and I can tell you that he was really a special man. Sadly, last week, on the sixth anniversary of my mother’s passing, dad took a tumble down the stairs, fractured his skull, and sustained a traumatic brain injury from which he did not recover. He passed away with me by his side the following afternoon. I cannot tell you how devastating this has been for me, but I’m sure you all know the pain.

So this week, for Meal Plan Monday, I am going to do favorite dishes of my dad. He was always one to lavish a compliment when it came to a good meal, or rich dessert.

These are the things that he enjoyed the most.

Monday – “Outstanding” Beef Brisket, Party Potato Casserole, roasted carrots, Coconut Cream Cheesecake

Tuesday – Catered Meal

Wednesday - Oriental Beef Casserole, hot rolls, Coconut Cream Cheesecake

Thursday – Creamy Ham Towers, Roasted Radishes with Green Goddess Dressing, Heavenly Hash

Friday - Italian Meatballs, salad, Jackie’s Pecan Pie

Saturday – Oven Chicken Kiev, Wild Rice, Smothered Green Beans, Pie

Sunday – Slow Cooker Roast Beef with Red Eye Gravy, mashed potatoes, Butter Pecan Turtle Cookies

I will not be doing a tablescape for this week, but will have a centerpiece paying homage to dad that I will share later.

Tell that special someone that you love them today.
