Fellow NW Oregonians, it seems we are getting the best week of our summer all the way through the weekend! The most important thing to do is to take advantage of the wonderful weather and soak in your needed vitamin D. What better way then to have a picnic with a dear friend at one of the many lovely parks throughout the city!

We have the perfect picnic basket idea for you. For starters, delight in a roasted beet salad of spinach with green apples, chevre and creamy peppercorn drizzle. The enjoyment of fresh veggies is enhanced while enjoying the outdoors simultaneously.
After whetting the appetite move on to the sandwiches (which are always better shared with someone you love), a B.L.A.T.T., bacon, lettuce, avocado spread, tomato and turkey with citrus aioli and a Vegetable & tofu sandwich with roasted eggplant spread, red pepper & lettuce. Mmm mm good!

After lounging in the rays with a satisfied belly, it’s time for dessert; every picnic needs a dessert! Banana layer cake with white chocolate frosting served with fresh whipped cream should do the trick.

Don’t forget to bring along the cards or your mini checkers board to round out the event.

Alas, if these food items don’t meet your fancy, we’ve a large selection to choose from. Please check out our menus to make your selections. Oh and we’d love to hear how the picnic went!

Cheers!
