This weekend, we were so fortunate to have our dear friend and Addie Jo's Godfather visit us from Massachusetts - Fr. Jay! And even though we had a great time visiting, playing board games, watching games on TV, walking, etc., we did what we like to do most,
and that's EAT!

So this
Tasteful Tuesday is an over the top tribute to Fr. Jay Mello, who could possibly be the only other person on the planet who enjoys
food eating, cooking, and talking about food as much as we do (well, and maybe including this
family, too)!
Here's how we celebrated his visit:
 |
| Preparing Friday night's Italian feast. Katie's hands hard at work. |
 |
| The messy gnocchi counter |
 |
| Slaving away |
 |
| The Table at Mom and Dad's |
 |
| Gluten free meatballs, gnocchi with butter thyme sauce, chicken salta boca |
 |
| Salta Boca with prosciutto |
I forgot to take a picture of
DESSERT, probably because it wasn't very pretty, but it tasted great, nonetheless! I also added 3/4 of a bag of white chocolate chips to it and it was a hit!
Part of Saturday morning dessert breakfast -
Saturday night = DESSERTS
 |
| Apple Cider |
 |
| Sugar Cookies |
 |
| BAT Brownies |
And finally, Sunday football food:
 |
| Queso, Buffalo Chicken Dip, and Pico = football food! |
What a great way to celebrate the weekend.
Thanks for visiting, Fr. Jay!
We look forward to gaining another 5 pounds next time, too!
Aaaaaahhhh, I'm so jealous! He got to see your girls before me! It looks like the perfectly planned Sahm weekend filled with food and family. I love it.
ReplyDeleteWhat a perfect weekend! Friends, family, and food, food, food!!!!!
ReplyDeleteAnd pasta to boot!
Yummmmmmmmmmm! : )
SARAH-- the picture with the desserts and that one tray of veggies looks like it was staged!!!
ReplyDeleteHaha, you mean the tray of veggies that Grandma left from dinner?
DeleteIt definitely doesn't belong but I left it there before peeps came over for the fire.
Don't know about staging but I did put it all out as the dessert table!
