Indulge In {Modern Club Sandwich}

Picnic week continues today with the ultimate picnic snack...the sandwich. Some may opt for fancier fare, but I much prefer the traditional. Even as a kid, I used to love taking my sandwich down to the park and eating it outside. Back then it was peanut butter and jelly, now a days, a modern day club. Loaded with oven roasted turkey, fresh sliced avocado, crispy bacon, shredded lettuce, melted white cheddar, and avocado mayo, it's filling, fresh, and delicious. Here's my recipe for the perfect modern club!

:: Ingredients ::
1/2 Pound Sliced Oven Roasted Turkey
Sliced White Cheddar
1/2 Avocado, sliced plus 1/4 Avocado
3/4 Cup Mayo
4 Slices Cooked Bacon
Shredded Lettuce
White Baguette

:: Directions ::
1. Combine 1/4 avocado and mayo in food processor. Pulse till smooth and well combined.
2. Slice baguette in half. Adorn with melted cheddar. Place in 400 degree oven for 10 minutes or until cheese is melted.
3. Spread mayo on cheesy bread. Layer with turkey, avocado slices, bacon, and shredded lettuce. Enjoy!

The Perfect Pack

Happy second day of picnic week! I shared my picnic inspiration yesterday and I'm very excited to share my perfectly packed picnic basket (or straw bag!) today. It's busting with many of my favorite things that all equate to the best relaxing day imaginable. Packed inside is a comfy blanket, my favorite pair of shades, a lazy day read, refreshing cocktails, delicious sandwiches (recipes coming later this week!) and some adorable printed napkins. A picnic is more than packing a bag and eating on the ground with a group of friends. To me, it's escaping reality for a bit and unplugging to fully enjoy the time you have with those you love most. That's exactly what my bag encompasses, relaxed quality fun!

What would be in your ideal picnic basket?
