Summer Of Picnics #2

For our second picnic of the season, we traveled a long distance to our front porch!

I've been wanting a table for our porch for a while. A table makes for a nice place to sit and eat and also gives a charming cottage look. We found a sturdy card table at a yard sale this spring. The only problem was that the top is damaged and needs to be covered to look nice.:-) We went ahead and brought it home since I would use a tablecloth anyways! For $5, it will serve us well until we find something nicer.

All that to say, we ate at our front porch table for this picnic!

Because we weren't going anywhere, I didn't bother packing our meal in a basket. Instead, I just filled our plates and took them outside.


A candle and wild rose decorated our table.

The menu:
--Ham and Swiss quiche
--Salad
--Sliced strawberries
--Chocolate Chip-Raspberry cookies

Simple and sweet!

We definitely will be eating outside more this summer!

Mary Ann,
What a lovely idea. We can all have a picnic really whenever we choose to. :)

I think your menu looks lovely. Would you be willing to share the recipes for the quiche and the cookies?

Hi Lyn,

You're right.:-)

I'll be glad to share the recipe for the quiche. I'm planning on doing that sometime soon anyways.

The cookies are a basic chocolate chip cookie with chocolate-raspberry swirled chocolate chips in them. That's all. I had some given to me and I just used them instead of regular chocolate chips! If you're interested in my basic chocolate chip cookie recipe, let me know!

Nice to hear from you again, friend!
