I've been on a cleaning frenzy this month trying to de-clutter my house and gear up for a yard sale next month. I'm years behind the Marie Kondo spark joy trend, but I'm finally embracing it and learning to let go of things that no longer serve me or make me happy. It's amazing how many things we hold on to with the hope that "someday" we might have a use for them again. Or a use for them at all. I dug out a picnic basket that I received for a blog promotion 6 years ago that I envisioned using summer after summer, yet there it sat untouched and still in its original wrappings. And it made me sad to think of all of the missed picnics over the years because I was in the rat race and forgot to slow down. This year one of my goals was just to actually slow down and live life a little. Go to the beach. Have picnics in the park. Just sit on the deck and admire the hummingbirds.... all things that I did before Covid turned the world upside down. I don't cook much these days, but I do still enjoy occasionally getting in the kitchen and whipping up a recipe that is sophisticated enough for a dinner party, but only requires the effort of a picnic basket meal. Like these Gorgonzola and Caramelized Onion Sandwiches from Golden Blossom Honey. 

 

Gorgonzola isn't a cheese that I normally buy, but I thought it would be a seamless transition from the blue cheese that I usually keep on hand. I don't know if it comes in crumbled form at the grocers because I couldn't find it at mine, but I did think it was pretty easy to crumble myself. The creamy and bold cheese paired with caramelized onions, which I absolutely love, had me digging into not 1 sandwich slice, but 2! My husband enjoyed it as a lunch option but being a true meat eater, did suggest I put brisket on his portions the next time that I make this, which would be a full lunch or dinner option then. Either way, this recipe serves just as easily for a nice dinner at home or for a picnic in the park. Wrap it in foil to keep the cheese melty and you'll look like pinkies up at the park without the posh effort of a restaurant quality meal.
