Every Sunday back home in Manhattan Beach we have a family BBQ dinner. Since being in Steamboat, I personally (not Pegs because she was home the other weekend) have not had a large family dinner in weeks… So when our neighbor Betsy came over yesterday and asked us if we would like to have a Sunday family dinner we accepted with open arms!
Pegs figured it would be best to do it at our house with all of our seating capacity, and truly break-in the dinner table. We all decided on a pot-luck meal: Betsy & her husband Herb would make Peach Salsa and Burgers, Amanda (who lives in their front house) would make a pasta salad, and Pegs & I would make a Greek salad. 
So after going on a bike ride with Kathy through Steamboat’s mini-farms on the other side of the river, we got cooking!
Since I had made so much hummus last night, Pegs & I decided we would make it an appetizer and cut up some veggies. We also made garlic bread with a baguette we had in the fridge. And my favorite dish we made for dessert, was a fresh apple crisp using the apples from our very own trees in the backyard!
It was the perfect evening for our dinner. We began with appetizers in the garden and then brought ourselves inside for the main course. Altogether, it was 3 hours of great food and even better company!
