the sign of a good meal.
A couple of weeks back on Cake I shared my tips for planning the perfect picnic brunch. The weather was crisp and cool and ideal for a February picnic. So ... I seized the day and packed our picnic basket with all of the necessities. When it comes to breakfast I usually have something light like yogurt served plain and simple, a cappuccino, or juice. But, we went all out for this picnic brunch and it was nice to indulge in a scone or two. I made a some maple date scones, brewed our coffee, assembled our yogurt parfaits in mason jars (quite handy and cute), and put together our breakfast sandwiches. When our basket was filled to the brim with morning goodness we headed out to our local rose garden for a morning picnic. The garden was quiet, still, and beautiful. We did get some strange looks from the occasional passerby as I am not sure they had ever seen people on a picnic at 9am. So, the next time you plan a picnic bring your brunch with you! Happy Wednesday Bisous.
sounds perfect!
