Dinner for Dad

My dad struggles from Prostate Cancer and most foods don't taste good to him. I decided while I was visiting to try some cooking and see what we could find that would taste good.



So far... The Marinated Flank Steak has tasted great

We Broiled Asparagus for him and he enjoyed that as well.

I also tried a potato recipe that I will have to give you to try out



You take about 7 red potatoes, cut them up into small squares and put them into a plastic bag, with a little water and put them into the microwave for about 7 minutes. You then place in a mixing bowl and add 3 tbsp. olive oil and 2 tbsp butter. Add salt, garlic, Lawry's, fresh basil, chili flakes, Rocky Mountain Seasoning, approx. 4 tbsp. and Parmesan cheese. Then mix together. Bake or Broil if you wish on an baking sheet covered with tin foil for 30 minutes. Stirring every 15 minutes.


We served Marinated Flank Steak and Roasted Asparagus. Dad Loved it..

We all decided that the perfect song for this was...Rainy days and Mondays always get me down.

Roasted Asparagus

2 bunches medium asparagus
2 tablespoons extra virgin olive oil
1/2 tsp kosher salt
freshly ground pepper

Preheat oven to 400 f.
Trim the woody ends from the asparagus, usually about 1 1/2 inches, lightly peel the remaining stalks. Spread the spears in a single layer on a baking sheet, drizzle with olive oil, sprinkle with the salt and pepper and roll to coat thoroughly.
Roast the asparagus until lightly browned and tender, about 8 to 10 minutes, shaking the pan halfway through to turn the asparagus. Arrange the roasted asparagus on a serving platter and top with some Parmesan. Serve warm or at room temperature.

My opinion on this was I could eat this every day for the rest of my life and be content. So yummy!
