The last few months of 2021 were busy with holiday festivities and various weekend events and commitments so our regular Sunday family gatherings had been put on hold. Finally this month the schedules began to clear and we were able to resume our Sunday tradition. We kicked off our first Sunday Supper of 2022 last week with an Italian themed dinner.
Our meal started with small bowls of Zuppa Toscana. We loved this soup so most of us had a second helping before dinner was served. Since it was such a hit bigger bowls might be a better choice next time.
Homemade bread sticks were served with our crab dip appetizer, which is a favorite and quickly disappeared once it came out of the oven, as well as with the soup and our traditional Lasagna dinner.
Tossed green salad with Italian dressing always pairs well with Lasagna so salad it was.
Tiramisu cupcakes topped with chocolate covered coffee beans { and a surprise in the middle } were on our dessert menu.
These amazing two layer cupcakes also have a mascarpone filling hidden in the center which is so good.
They are topped off with vanilla cream cheese frosting and a sprinkle of chocolate and, as mentioned above, a chocolate covered coffee bean.
Oreo Cupcakes also made it on the menu. We happened to have Oreo’s on hand so while I was at it I decided to make those too. These cupcakes have an Oreo on the bottom and one on the top and crushed Oreo’s mixed in the cupcake. If you like Oreo’s it doesn’t get better than that!
All in all, our Italian dinner was a great way to kick off our 2022 Sunday Suppers.
Happy Tuesday!
