When I first moved to Arizona I tried to use the table on the patio more frequently but found that most evenings Jay gets home too close to dusk (or many times after) so that an evening picnic just doesn't work.
Sunday, however was a beautiful day in the neighborhood. Jay worked on cleaning out his work van while I worked in the garden and weeding. I quit early and got supper ready so that we could enjoy eating outside.
I had black beans I wanted to use and found a recipe with Black Beans, Quinoa, Cumin, and corn. I swapped the corn for peas although the corn would have been a better look and taste. I'm trying to avoid corn as much as possible because it is almost impossible to find corn that is not gmo. I think this is the first time I have cooked Quinoa. The dish turned out yummy, especially with a slice of cheese and sour cream.
We also had a fresh salad with lettuce, carrots and radish out of our garden.
Our little picnic was a nice way to end the weekend.

It's almost been warm enough to try a picnic the last couple of days. It was 67F yesterday.
