Peggy Lampman's Friday dinnerFeed: September song picnic
Like a squirrel's nest, I always store bits and pieces of leftover veggies in the salad crisper in my fridge. I diced, then combined them with softened Zingerman's goat cheese stretched with cream cheese. Frisée greens were leftovers from Wednesday's dinnerFeed. I rolled up my concoction in Flatout, a locally produced flatbread. Seasonal Michigan peaches and cherry tomatoes off the vine were popped into the hamper and voila, "Le Picnic", short notice.
We're so lucky to live in Ann Arbor, our surrounding areas have such a wealth of charming, waterside areas to picnic. Our park system is replete with pastoral settings for your next September picnic. Maybe I'll have more time to create a feast for our next picnic but Alecia and Aleyn were quite content with the simplicity of the local goodies.Yield: 4 flatbread sandwich halves Time: 15 minutes Cost: $6.50
Ingredients
2 pieces Flatout flat bread (wheat or garden spinach)

 Several pieces frisee, romaine or other leaf lettuce


 8 tablespoons goat or cream cheese, softened (or a combination of both cheeses) 2 heaping cups diced, crunchy vegetables and herbs ( I used peppers, cucumbers, red onion, carrot, basil and tomato)
