This past Saturday was a special day for my family. The majority of the women in my extended family have birthdays in October, so to celebrate, we typically all get together in October and celebrate for everyone. This year was also a little special because Alix, my sister just had Brylee, who is now 4 weeks old. Andie, my other sister is about 6 months pregnant with my little niece to be, and my Aunt Shannon, is pregnant with her 5th, yes 5th daughter! My mom and Aunt Shannon each now have 5 daughters! It is crazy to think about it that way, but it is a pretty special time in our family right now.
Andie hosted a really special luncheon at her house on Saturday. We had tons of good food, great company, and just a nice day together.
Above, on the left are amazing brie and balsamic sandwiches that Andie made. It is a french roll, with balsamic vinaigrette on it, tomatoes, cornishan pickles and brie. You really have to try it to get the flavors but it is a great tasting sandwich, and a delicious snack.
On the right, my mom made her famous chicken salad sandwiches on croissants. These are so simple yet so Delicious! Always a classic staple at any family gathering!
Andie made her famous Chicken tortellini soup for the luncheon. This is one of my all time favorites and I guarantee you that there will be a lot of blogs about this delicious soup this winter! It is a chicken stock base, with your classics, carrots, onions, spices, and then tortellini noodles! Add some pieces of fresh Parmesan and you cannot go wrong!
I love huge pieces of fresh Parmesan!
Horrible picture, but delicious lunch! Thanks again Andie for having us all over! It was a great day and the food was Phenom!
