One of the things my family likes to do is head out to the nature trails at the state park to go on little hikes or bike rides. Before our journey, we like to pack a picnic lunch to give us the fuel we need to endure some of those tough trails. A few years back, we somehow wondered from the short footpath trail onto the bike trail, and ended up on a 5 mile trek over rough and rugged terrain. It was brutal! Thankfully, we had full bellies before heading out, because we didn't have to hear the kids complain about starving to death in the woods.
As soon as the rain lets up here, we are really looking forward to our first hike of the summer. And, of course, our traditional picnic before heading out. I like to pack light foods that aren't going to weigh the belly down. Chicken or turkey, fruits and veggies. That sort of thing. I've been trying to find new sandwich recipes to add to my picnic collection for these outings, and really liked the looks of this Greek Chicken Sandwich from Golden Blossom Honey.
It's a great sandwich for your picnic or for a quick, late night dinner. I served ours with some caramelized onions, and it was oh, so yum!

ReplyDeleteI agree! Sounds like a great sandwich for a summer picnic!
DeleteLoving this idea!! I recently made a delicious and simple sandwich as well, inspired by my uncle. We used some chicken scraps we had left over, mixed with lettuce, some onion and tomato, added mayo and mixed. Then made sandwiches out of that. Delish!
ReplyDeleteSounds like a great recipe. This honey sounds great, I like how it's pure and natural
ReplyDeleteWow, that looks delicious! My son would be all over those caramelized onions!
ReplyDeleteI've never been to a picnic but I do love your square plates :)
ReplyDeleteThen have your own picnic dahling! Don't you have a park close by you could take some scrumptious snacks to?
DeleteMy kids hate the plates because their friends think we are weird for having them. We always hear, "Why are your plates square?" But we do step away from the norm quite often, and we are more square than round anyway :)
pffttt them kids have no taste obviously... let us blame Indiana for that :) Square plates, especially if you find them seethrough ones or dark blue or black ones... are the cosmic hip fashion of the century :)
DeleteI love anything Greek. Sandwiches are great in the summer time.
ReplyDeleteLooks like an amazing recipe! The plates are nice too, but a Greek chicken sandwich sounds perfect to me!
