Swell Supper: Game Night
Despite the chilly fall weather we spent a lot of time outdoors this weekend; soccer games, the park and the grounds at LACMA. So tonight we’re getting cozy for family game night. That means Uno, Go Fish and Guess Who with the kids. And for tonight’s swell supper we are making a one pot meal of Cheater Italian Wedding Soup, Artisan Bread, and Candied Pecans so we have some sweet snacks during the games after dinner.
The artisan bread needs to rise overnight start the bread the evening before. In the morning continue prepping the bread and bake according to the recipe. The candied pecans can be made next, feel free to make them just before dinner or sometime during the day when the kids need some entertaining. These nuts will make your home smell amazing!
After the nuts are finished start the cheater Italian wedding soup. I love this soup because it’s easy to make, delicious, and an entire meal! Warm the artisan bread in the oven on 350 degrees for 7 minutes. Remove from the oven, slice and serve with a big bowl of soup. After dinner break out the games (we like uno, go fish, and guess who?) and give each person a small bowl of candied pecans and play until the nuts are gone! Now doesn’t that sound swell?
