Harvest Dinner



My favorite meal of the whole week is hands down Sunday Dinner. I grew up in a family that ate dinner every night at the table, but Sunday was always the best. Sunday usually meant pot roast with mashed potatoes and gravy. Peter and I will start mulling over our options before we head to the market Saturday morning. Usually by that afternoon our plan has changed a couple of times, but eventually we settle in on a meal. We call our friends over and enjoy our family supper.

This week was about celebrating the summer harvest. We had corn stewed in tomato sauce, potatoes in romesco, green beans with cherry tomatoes dressed in aioli and pork tenderloin with bell peppers and vinegar.

This week my aunt Julene hosted an equally delicious Harvest Dinner out at her home in the country. It was great sitting out under the trees eating a table my grandfather built back in the 1950s. Hopefully everyone will have a chance this weekend to really enjoy the bounty of the summer.
