being new to chicago, i hadn’t been to ravinia until recently but now i can’t get enough. it combines some of my favorite things… being outdoors, listening to music, drinking wine and last but not least, eating picnic food.

for this trip to ravinia, i decided to make a visit to the division street farmers market for supplies. this market is nothing compared to the green city market which is just blocks away, but it did just fine in providing what i needed on this occasion. there was a cheese booth where we got some delicious manchego, mozzarella and aged cheddar, all of which was made in wisconsin. we also scored a baguette that was nice and crusty, as well as strawberries, sugar snap peas and cherries.

there’s no recipe to go along with this entry, but it still was one of my favorite meals this summer. if you have an occasion for a picnic, farmers markets such as the one on division are perfectly suited!
