Spiciness: Mild

Picnic on the Piazza

1 out of 8 people in the world are hungry.  We feel lucky to not be hungry and try not to waste food.  Here's a look at a piazza picnic based on the odds and ends in our refrigerator or freezer:

Multiple bowls of food on a wood cutting board. brie, apples with blue cheese, cornichons, green grapes, slices of ciabatta, green salad. this …
Picnic on the Piazza (or patio, deck, lanai, veranda, porch)
  • We always have some ciabatta in the freezer as back up.  It defrosts quickly and toasts in 30 seconds
  • Apples keep for a long time in the crisper.  Throw some leftover cheese on thin slices.
  • Boiled Eggs - Place eggs in a pot with cool water,  cook for 17 minutes uncovered, immediately place in cold water & ice bath.  Eggs will peel SOOOOO easy!
  • leftover triple cream Brie - slurp!
  • pickles or make your own with this recipe.
  • Grapes or other fruit
  • Leftover broccoli & almond stir fry
  • 2 lonely tomatoes from our container tomato plant
  • one big glass of wine and one big glass of whiskey & grapefruit juice

No recipe here but what's in your leftover picnic?

Happy Eating!  Beckie

Hey y'all!

I’m Beckie Hemmerling. I love food and I think of it on a basic level of providing strength & nourishment. Cooking has helped me *try* to figure out life, not just my own, but also other people's. I have cooked through many joys / sorrows and cooking has always been a meditative place through these highs & lows. More background info →
