Garden Fresh Picnic Recipes for a Summer Feast
For this tablescape I used my old wheel barrel, that you can’t see in the photo. The red quilt is the base of the display with a burlap runner and several baskets. The wheel barrel can be rolled under your favorite tree and then unloaded to enjoy the summer bounty. Of course, the picnic basket was packed ahead with easy to make summer time recipes like Garden Fresh Pesto Crostini and Beef Stuffed Pockets with Garden Fresh Vegetable spread.
Garden Fresh Picnic Recipe -Pesto Crostini
The Pesto Crostini is made with Arugula and basil, walnuts, olive oil and Parmesan cheese then spread over a small crusty bread or crostini. A slice of cherry tomato is placed on top of the crostini for added texture, taste and presentation. Get Recipe: Pesto Crostini .

Garden Fresh Picnic Recipe: Blueberry Peach Cobbler
For an easy to bake dessert, Blueberry and Peach half pint cobblers was served picnic style. With the handy half pint jar being only 1/2 cup serving you might want to bake a few extra to have on hand. The jars are canning jars and are oven and freezer safe… of course not a the same time.
