Today is my Dad’s birthday! Over Labor Day weekend, we gathered at my parents’ lake house to celebrate with good food, family, and lots of birthday cheer. Mom, Dad, Andy, Kerry, and I enjoyed a wonderful weekend together celebrating Dad and, of course, enjoying some delicious homemade food.

4 Cheese Ravioli: Pasta dough (see recipe below as my favorite is no longer online), filling – Ricotta, Asiago, Parmesan, Mozzarella, salt and pepper. I made the ravioli at home and brought the frozen ravioli with me. We split the ravioli and served with 2 sauces; Mom’s tomato sauce, and Melted Butter with fresh Sage.

Grilled Zucchini – Dad grilled these brushed with Italian dressing and additional various seasonings
