Had a potluck dinner last night with my quintet. Two of us brought food that I believe would be PERFECT for picnics. Really simple, but again, coming up with something that's tasty, portable, and doesn't need to be warm or cold can be kinda difficult.
Mozzarella Sandwich (from our dear violist):
Slice loaf of ciabatta bread in half
Spread both sides with pesto
Layer spinach, roasted red peppers, and mozzarella (portabellos would probably be good, too)
Black bean salad (by me):
saute 1 chopt onion in evoo
add 1c frozen corn & brown
add 1 can chopt tomato
season with cumin, chili powder, and a dash of cloves (I know, who woulda thought? I added it on accident b/c it was in the same type of bottle as the chili powder and it tasted good)
1c dried black beans, reanimated
cool, add chopt cilantro
serve over lettuce
AND FINALLY:
butterless peanut butter cookies:

nice and moist! I added 2T or so of butter b/c I had some in the fridge (to make up for using skim milk). Also note that mine took >15 min to cook rather than the 9.5 min suggested in the recipe
Enjoy!

sounds good! I make blackbean salad a lot, but I make a totally raw version. I use green oniona and I add the cumin to a lime vinegrette. I also add feta or an avocado (both if I'm feeling crazy) to make it creamier.
The peanut butter cookies look pretty good too :)
Wow!! The cookies look perfect for Reeves. Maybe I could substitute almond butter and almonds??
