our weekend

This weekend Christopher's sister, Alissa, came to visit us. She recently finished her surgery residency in Phoenix and has moved back to Nashville to practice. We are so glad she was able to come spend some time with us before starting her job! We had a really wonderful and relaxing weekend - eating, watching football, eating, playing with babies . . . and eating. :)

Friday evening Christopher made Tomato Cream Pasta. This is one of my favorite Italian dishes that he makes and it is probably Joseph's favorite meal of all time. He almost always asks for seconds. As an appetizer I made focaccia bread with a carmelized onion topping.

Saturday morning Christopher made a Frittata which we enjoyed with some yummy chocolate chip banana bread. In the afternoon Christopher's boss and his daughter joined us for football and snacks: mango salsa and proscuitto-wrapped gouda ebelskivers.
On Sunday we went for brunch on the river at Bosco's. It was a beautiful morning and perfect for sitting on the patio and enjoying the breezes. We also took Alissa on a scenic drive of Little Rock. In the evening we decided to put the rest of the proscuitto-wrapped gouda to good use so I made homemade ravioli. After we ran out of the meat and cheese, I filled the rest with homemade pesto and then also made a pesto cream sauce for it. So yummy!

There are additional pictures from our weekend but most of them involve Joseph wearing his Halloween costume (which he is in total love with) so those pics will have to wait for later!
