Meal Six: Pasta Bar

Last year, we enjoyed a pity dinner based on a vegetarian meal from The Grit... their Pasta Fagiole.  It was so popular, it made a reappearance on this year's schedule.  Ours includes some browned sausage for the meat eaters and pinto beans for others.

Pastas (spaghetti, fusilli and cheese tortellini) plus our favorite quick red sauce .  You could customize your plate with kalamata olives and cheese. 

We also got to enjoy some homemade bread, as Dory had the chance to try out her sourdough starter and delivered two beautiful loaves.  The seemed pretty amazing to me, but she wants to keep working on it until perfect.  Good to have someone around with high standards!

Meal Ten: Skillet Macaroni with Zesty Meat Sauce

This was good easy fare for a rainy Summer evening.   Skillet Macaroni with Zesty Meat Sauce gave us the chance to use our basil (which recovered from some type of animal attack earlier this season) and new pan.  It was a generous portion with enough leftovers for everyone. We didn't want to be too simple for our skilled chef, so we added a bakery component.  Garlic Cheese Biscuits from Paula Deen were perfect!  These yummy little treats did NOT have any leftovers. Even our birthday boy Squirt noticed right when he walked in... "those look like the Bisquick biscuits my mom used to make", to which we responded "they are!"

Meal Twenty-Three: Chicken Shepherd's Pie

  Our 2015 Finale was a tasty twist on Shepherd's Pie ... chicken!  It was lots of chopping and shredding, but delish!  Some great dinners rolls and desserts rounded out the meal.  What a great year!
