Dinner for Dad

What better excuse to go all out and cook than Fathers Day! I decided that I would have my Father over and make him a yummy meal to say Thank You for all you have for me over the years. I put together some of my Dads favorite flavors and made a killer meal out of it. My mom was putting together some recipes the other day and she sent me them before sending them out to the family and one really caught my eye. "Sticky Chicken" yumm-o!! My step mom made an amazing salad (i don't have the recipe for it yet but i will put it up when i do) it had toasted ramen noodles in it which sounds a tad odd but it was actually pretty delightful. Then to top it off i did what I do best I baked 'Rocky Road Brownies" and topped them off with a scoop of ice cream.This was a meal fit for an amazing Father!
