Pops is Tops!

It is the time of year to honour our dads, step-dads, fathers of our children, and even men who are like fathers to us. It is easy to take them for granted, they are always in the background, taking care of things, mowing the lawn and doing other important dad things. Some of us have lost our fathers along the way but that is all the more reason to pay tribute to him on Father's Day. And what better way to honour your Pops than with food?

Jamie Oliver is a great dad who loves his children and also loves good food. Two excellent qualities in a man!

Choose a Jamie Oliver dish from one of his books or online, something for that special Dad in your life. Post it on or by Sunday, June 19th and link up with Mr. Linky, below.

What will you make for your top pops? Steak on the grill? Mac and cheese? Beer-battered fish and chips.. with beer? Show Pops he's tops!

June Potluck!

It's time for Potluck again, the week where we leave all decisions up to you!  As the chef of your own kitchen, you decide which Jamie Oliver recipe to create this week.  However you chose your recipe is up to you.

Many of us will chose and create a recipe based on whatever bits and bobs we have laying about.  While some, who are wonderfully organized, will chose from a list of "must make" recipes and shop accordingly.  Still others will have no choice but to cater and give in to the cravings that creep up as the week progresses.  Whatever your choice, we have no doubt that it will be delightful... just like Jamie!

Make and post your POTLUCK post by Sunday, June 12th. Don't forget to link your post of the week's with Mr. Linky below, so we can all enjoy your fabulous creation! Remember to leave a comment after, each week that you use Mr. Linky to link your post, just to be sure we don't miss anyone.
