Father’s day this year was a bit more cra­zier than I would have liked it to be.  Grem­lin turns 6 on Thurs­day so I went ahead and com­bined the fam­ily party with the Father’s Day cook out.  It turned out great, but couldn’t seem to get Grem­lin to SHARE his day with the Father’s in the house.

We grilled steak and brats with grilled veg­gies.  And I’m telling you what!  I found an incred­i­ble recipe for a Creamy Chive Sauce that I would’ve named CHEESY Chive Dip. It was for the grilled sweet pota­toes, but I used it on my steak and it was YUM!

(*cour­tesy of Mid­west Liv­ing, July/Aug 09)
1/2 c. sour cream
1/2 c. mayo
2T snipped fresh chives
1t steak sea­son­ing
3T finely shred­ded Asi­ago cheese
2T grated Parme­san cheese (I cheated and used pow­dered Parm cheese)
or
1T crum­bled blue cheese (I used both Parm and blue!!!)

Mix and dip.

It was awesome!

The thing I’m most proud of was the gift from the fran­tic mother boys.  J is SO hard to buy for.  He doesn’t ever want any­thing.  Last week I was on Twit­ter and noticed a tweet that men­tioned Beki’s Father’s Day gift that she does every year.  I checked it out and LOVED it!

I’m bummed that the pic­ture machine made Oldman’s photo too dark…will have to redo that one, but I thought it turned out great.
