Sunday Supper

David & I are trying to make a tradition of having supper with my family on Sunday night since we have breakfast every Sunday morning before church with David's parents. It is so nice have both our families so close and even though we are all so busy throughout the week, it's nice to slow down and spend some time with them on the weekends. I'm hoping Sunday Supper becomes a permanent feature of this blog along with Menu Monday (although this week there won't be any because of a busy week with only a few suppers at home).
Last night we all pitched in at my parents house to put together a wonderful, if not eclectic, supper last night.
My contribution to supper was bruschetta. Tomatoes from my parent's garden, basil from ours, onion, garlic, balsamic vinegar & olive oil all chopped up and placed on toasted roasted garlic bread and topped with feta cheese.


David & Hanna made pesto with my recipe:

4 cups garden basil
1/2 cup Parmesan cheese
1/2 cup canola oil
1/2 cup pine nuts (or walnuts)
course sea salt & fresh cracked pepper

In a blender or food processor combine all ingredients together to make a paste. Mix with pasta, use as a spread on sandwiches or paninis, or make your own creation.


They added it to bow tie pasta, sugar snap peas & white beans for a hearty pasta dish.

Dad made fruit salad and BLT sandwiches. Mom oversaw the whole production and we all enjoyed our family supper. We finished the peach/raspberry pie and some zucchini bread for dessert.
