Life really can be a picnic!

Everyone loves a picnic! This blog is about some of the things I love the most, and the term "picnic" just about covers them all. First of all, a picnic has to include food; simple food that is easy to fix. Next, you need someplace fun or different to visit; a nice, peaceful location. And of course, you always need to take along a good book to read and a well-used quilt to spread everything out on. So, there you have it! Easy recipes, good books, fun quilts along with some interesting, down-to-earth places to visit. You can even take your family or a friend or two if you want.

September Already?

"Learn from the mistakes of others.  You can't live long enough to make them all yourself."  --Eleanor Roosevelt


During the summer I read a good book on the recommendation of a friend.  It is called Sarah's Key by Tatiana de Rosnay. It's a historical fiction book set in France during World War II. 



Here is the recipe for the fresh pear bundt cake that was shown in a previous post.

After going to a viewing in Holladay one Friday evening, my hubby and I were advised to check out the Normandie restaurant and bakery nearby.  Wow, it was really good!  The french onion soup was the best we'd ever had.  The day we went they also had a special--two full meals for $25.  It was an incredible bargain because even the dessert was included; and the chocolate caramel cake was divine!
