Dinner for 6

 Baguette with Garlic Scape Pesto and Tomatoes
Baguette with Goat Cheese and Balsamic Roasted Strawberries
Quick Sausage Meatballs with a Tomato Basil Sauce, Spaghetti and Sweet Raw Peas
Grilled Strawberries with Pimm's and Vanilla Ice Cream

On Friday night my husband was a a work squash tounament (he won so this is his shout out) and my Dad was staying an extra night at my sisters so I held my Friday Night Dinner plan over to Saturday again.  

Both starters were fantastic.  I made up the first one with some homemade garlic scape pesto, tomatoes, onions and parmesan cheese topping baguette slices.  I found the second one with the goat cheese on pinterest (yes I loose time in that world too).  

The Meatball recipe was from Jamie at Home.  It was super easy.  Jamie manages to do that with so many recipes.  It was very tasty too although I think my sauce simmered a little to long and was a tad thick.

Dessert was based off of Jamie's Grilled Strawberries with Pimm's and Vanilla Ice Cream, also out of Jamie at Home. I made this dessert up north two weeks ago but I changed it up a bit this time.  I used some Orange juice and zest when I roasted the berries and I had no cookie crumble this time.  Instead I added a little almond chocolate dipped cookie I had on hand.  It was very tasty again.
