Sorry that my posts have been spotty again this week. Life! On to Foodie Friday......Wouldn't we all love a gourmet picnic hamper hand delivered by a butler? At one time, Fortum & Mason in London did just that. I hope that they still offer this royal service. I love a fancy picnic. And isn't a picnic a romantic date idea?Summer is the perfect time to get outdoors and enjoy a stylish spread. Here's inspiration.
This sammi had me at avocado. A lovely list of fresh ingredients are combined together to make the prettiest sandwich. Begin with some really good bread, and enjoy.
Honestly Yum
Fresh and refreshing, and oh so smart. Make them ahead, freeze them, and serve.
They will become slushy as they thaw.
Who wouldn't want one?

Citrus Salad with Red Onions and Marcona Almonds
Popular in Spain, this simple and colorful salad makes a great picnic side dish. Speaking of a dish....that pretty platter is on sale HERE.Williams Sonoma
Angers Picnic Basket
Just add wine and cheese, because this basket comes with everything for a picnic for four, including a corkscrew. Love the blue weave, which makes it different. It makes
a luxe gift.
Sometimes simple is best. And this recipe is a classic and couldn't be easier.
Bon Appétit
Oh burrata! It is so creamy and silky and gooey. It's the perfect topping for tomatoes. This sandwich will take you to the Italian countryside. Lake Como anyone?

Pesto Potato Salad
I am so bored by the old fashion mustard and mayo potato salad. i venture to guess that most people who serve it, get it pre-made at the market. Try something different this season. I promise that this recipe is anything but boring. Pesto makes everything interesting.Half Baked Harvest
made with sour cream instead of milk, this cake is rich, creamy, and custard like. It's also easy to transport because of it's low profile. Yum!
The Seaside Baker
A classic with a twist. First of all, this lemonade looks lovely. Secondly, I bet it tastes very refreshing. And finally, it might just be a little bit better with a shot of vodka!
Half Baked Harvest
Lightened up with Greek yogurt, this hearty sandwich is one of the quickest, most tastiest meals you’ll ever have.

This salad is very much a deconstructed BLT sandwich. I think it is a genius idea for a Summer salad. The recipe gets five stars from readers at
Williams Sonoma
The perfect ending to a picnic in the park. This recipe is both sweet and salty. And it begins with a boxed brownie mix. Easy.

Picnic baskets can be hard to handle. I personally find a tote easier to transport. This one is just great. It comes to us at a price point that makes it a great wedding gift.

Oprah might know something about fried chicken. She once employed Chicago chef Art Smith, and he was famous for his fried chicken recipe. This one is picnic perfect.
