Dinner Party

So.

I was so excited about this dinner party
I seriously deliberated all week about what to make.

We usually have dinners where all of the food is served at once, and we have to eat early
so the kids can partake.

but we said, "nay."

This was served course by course- preparing each after the previous one had been
finished.


First we had a bit of cheese.

Fab Fromage for Quebec
(served on ceramic coasters)



The avocado and cucumber soup we learned to make in Quebec,
topped with serrano pepper whipped cream.


Fried green tomatoes, roasted beets and remoulade!


Served over polenta



The main course was Osso Buco

I don't have photos

The dessert was a caramel apple pecan cheesecake

Also, no photos.

We were having fun...we must have forgotten :P




Weekend Lunches


Summer is slowly coming to an end so we are making the most of our
Saturdays to make some delicious food for the family

Tomato, grown by yours truly...


Felix enjoying a carrot at the Farmers Market
They were so delicious that we bought a bunch...
... and had them for lunch!


Golden Beets, Carrots, Purple Onions and Purple Carrots

Roasted and topped with Raspberry from the beautiful Isle d'Orlean


Served along side an elk burger, topped with garden fresh tomato
and of course dill gouda!


Delicious!


Even Felix loved our wonderful Saturday lunch!
