Our Summer Picnic

Another seasonal picnic, another favourite day of my life! We joined Rebekka and Manley in their backyard, tucked away into a quiet corner to celebrate their handsome new picnic table. We shared stories, laughter, a few drinks, and a LOT of delicious food. Cheese upon cheese upon cheese with figs, sausages from a local farm, a vegetable quinoa pasta. Danny and I brought a punch bowl to fill with a rosemary gin fizz. We had fun preparing the ingredients, and even more fun drinking it! It's a perfect party drink, and smells just wonderful.

You can find her recipe for an incredible Peach Ricotta Tart in Rosemary Almond Shell here. Enjoy!

We're off to Chicago to find some adventure. Au Revoir!

Our Spring Picnic

We've been having oh so much fun having seasonal picnics.. that we've decided we absolutely must do this each month as a group! Danny and I certainly love our picnics together, but it seems that there is an overabundance of laughter and delicious food when we are coupled with dear friends.

This time, Rebekka packed up spiced salamis, artisan bread, two plates of figs, cheese, pickled goodness, and artichokes. Not only that, but she made us heavenly St. Germain cocktails and a magical strawberry soup with a special kick. You can find the recipe on her blog. The wind whipped around us at Shelby Park, but our conversation (and a little Four Roses!) kept us warm and spirited. An afternoon we did not want to ever end.

Also, you can now find these cute mason jars in my etsy shop, then have your own picnic with friends!
