In fact getting acquainted with Lenette and her web-site grew into pleasant cooperation. I like the way she writes about cooking. Also her style meaning how she approached the everyday manners is somehow special too. Her recipe “Homemade Apple Marmalade and Flank Steak Jerky Crostini” is her first guest post on Picnicfood Ideas. Indeed it is an interesting food to have as a picnic food. To check more of Lanette’s exquisite recipes check her cooking web-site The Flavor Fusion Project.

A few weeks ago, I was approached by a fellow blogger and asked to exchange articles for our very different cooking styles. Needless to say, I was thrilled! Despite the fact that I live in Miami, as a culture, we don’t embrace the outdoors as much as one would think. Of course, there are the beach communities that are frequently showcased on TV; but generally speaking, it is usually so hot, that people here tend to look for thirst quenchers and lite bites. However, liquid lunches can only get you so far and some nourishment is required.
