Bacon Peach Sammies

Bacon Peach Sammies

Our neighborhood takes on a different rhythm in summertime. The predictable daily school routines and work patterns are off-kilter. Summer brings a refreshing pace, for sure. But with all the coming and going, I miss seeing everyone on a regular basis.

Inspired by my neighbor Doris’ delicious peaches, and bacon left over from breakfast, I decided to kick our summer sandwich game up a notch.

Plus, it was time to reconnect with our friends.

When it’s too hot to cook, a picnic lunch is the perfect solution to bring neighbors and friends together. A quick text to a few neighbors and our picnic lunch was set.

Tips for Hosting a Picnic Lunch at the Turquoise Table

  1. Don’t cook! When the temperature is blazing, keep things cool in the kitchen. Sandwiches and salads are perfect picnic table fare.
  2. Casual cool. As we like to say, “if you aren’t barefoot or in flip flops you’re over dressed.” Come as you are.
  3. Conversation = Connection. Make space for meaningful conversation. It’s not about the food being served, but those who are gathered around the table.

Peach Arugula Sammies

Simple Sandwich Fix

A far cry from the standard peanut butter and jelly, these tasty, easy-to-assemble sandwiches boast the essential flavors of summer. Basil and peaches! For an added measure of nostalgia, I like to serve our favorite pimento cheese on thin white bread, too.

Ingredients

Scale
  • 8 slices thick-cut bacon
  • 4 Ciabatta rolls
  • ¼ cup pesto (store bought or homemade)
  • 2 peaches, halved, pitted and thinly sliced
  • Arugula, for topping

Instructions

Cook the bacon in a large skillet over medium heat, turning a few times until crisp, about 8 minutes. Transfer to a paper towel-lined plate to drain.

Toast the bread and spread evenly with the pesto. Divide the peaches, bacon and arugula among half of the bread slices; top with the remaining bread slices.

Meet Kristin

Welcome! I'm so glad you're here.

I'm on a mission to love my neighbors. I put an ordinary picnic table in my front yard, painted it turquoise and invited neighbors, friends, and even strangers to hang out and do life together at the Turquoise Table®.

I hope you'll join us!
