A reference page in my personal cookbook with some very basic ideas and recipes
Pinwheels, Lebanon Roll Ups, Pasta Salads...
One of my projects in 2024 is to redo my personal cookbook, a "Volume 2" of sorts. I printed and bound copies of the first volume for all of our children when they first started moving out. For years I've been using that compilation myself, but I have it so written up with changes and additions, and many notes on recipes I had never written down or included.. it's time for a rewrite.
And now that it is picnic season for us, I wanted a quick reference page for picnic foods.
A staple at Pennsylvania Dutch gatherings, Lebanon bologna spread with cream cheese and pineapple may sound odd - but it's really quite good! You'll find variations at most picnics and pot lucks in our area.
I love pinwheel recipes for picnics. Quick and easy to make ahead, no silverware needed.
Pasta Salads, for me, are much like soup. I don't use a recipe, I simply open the fridge and see what I have that might work, then combine it all together. Sometimes I'll use a bottled sauce, sometimes I'll mix up something home made. The above chart is more of a guideline than a recipe chart.
Clafoutis and Quiche are picnic staples for us.
Our current flavor favorite for clafoutis is lemon raspberry
