The Mormon Tabernacle Choir

I recently had the opportunity to see the Mormon Tabernacle Choir. They preformed for one night in my favorite local venue and the tickets were a steal! The night was mild, perfect for sitting on the lawn. My dear friend Anna and I were celebrating her birthday, so I brought a picnic to enjoy as we watched the show. Sitting on a red-stripped blanket, we had chicken sandwiches and orzo pasta with feta and vegetables (see my recipe below!). For desert, we indulged in oatmeal chocolate chip cookies. The night could not have been more lovely. Anna and I just laid down on the blanket and closed our eyes, listening to the beautiful sounds of this timeless group! We felt transported! Enjoy listening to some of their music I've posted above! The first song is the one they're particularly famous for, the second song is simply one of the most beautiful I've ever heard.

I came up with this super easy recipe while at the beach last year. It's quickly become one of my favorite, fresh summer dishes!
