Teter Tot Picnic

Teter Creek Lake was today's picnic spot. . . and the menu did include a red potato salad!

Mini Meatloaf with Pepper Glaze

New Potato Salad and Peas

Fresh Fruit Salad

Seven Grain Menu

was the menu of the day.

The mini meatloaves were inspired by Clean Eating Magazine.   We shared one ramekin loaf and made sandwiches on New Day Bakery Seven Grain Bread.  Yes Bob brought his complimentary mustard.
