A Little Celebration

We had a small party for my husband's birthday this past weekend.  My Daughter and I chose a picnic theme and made sandwiches and antipasto salads.

 

She made this goat cheese and marinated and grilled vegetable sandwich with arugula and roasted peppers.  It was fabulous.

The Chef made us an old fashioned pasta and veggie salad.  This was gone in no time at all.

I made my husband his favorite homemade baked beans.

I also made Pan Bagnat, french tuna salad sandwiches.

The salads were served with classic Italian dressing that I made with red wine.

We cut all of the sandwiches into individual servings.

This was an Italian melt sandwich.

We held it at the guest house which is so much better for parties like this.  I split the huge table in half, one for sitting and one for serving.

After everyone was done with dinner, I made banana splits with homemade chocolate fudge sauce, caramel sauce and strawberry sauce.  All were topped with freshly whipped cream.  It was a fun day.
