Father’s Day, Have A Happy!

Today is Father’s Day and I am sure everyone around the country are celebrating with or without their fathers.

It is difficult when one’s father has passed on and it was (and is) always difficult for my children, who idolized their dad.

They spent many happy years with their father, and those memories will always be in their hearts to remind them of the values he taught them as well as “chores” to do around a ranch as he raised them to adulthood.  

It is never easy to lose a parent…no matter what age.

And now these children are fathers too….so Happy Father’s Day to all fathers!

The following recipe has nothing to do with Father’s Day…as I segue to food. 😉

My dear friend in Seattle…Healthy Hannah sent me a recipe a couple days ago that I have to admit I have not tried.

HH said it is low carb and it looks scrumptious…just like this trip we took up through the San Juan Islands (we lived in Seattle for almost 2 years!)

I do love fried fish ….and I will make it as soon as I find the gluten free baking mix (she says it is in most supermarkets…as well as health food stores)

So if you try this recipe, my dear readers….let me know your thoughts.

Until then…have a great and blessed start to your week! 🙂 

The printable recipe is below!
