The Scoop

We are getting out more these days now that we have been vaccinated and life is showing signs of normalacy. We still wear masks and social distance as needed but it feels so good to be out and about.

Sunday we went out with our kids to the most fun place. It’s called the Queen Creek Olive Mill. You can learn more about the place on their blog here. It is a huge olive tree farm where they make among a multitude of things, olive oil. The have an amazing menu. You order your food inside their fabulous store and then go out and pick a picnic table among the olive trees to eat. They have live music and places for the kids to play. It is the nicest casual place to eat and visit.

The food is absolutely amazing and they serve lovely drinks from wines to Sangrias to Bloody Mary’s. They have a store where you can shop, olive oils, all sorts of sauces, pickled things, tee shirts, and hats to skin care products. You can check out the online store here. They have another location in Scottsdale too.

I got a hat and a jar of Caramelized Red Onion and Fid Tapenade at the store. I can’t wait to try the topping on some sourdough bread with goat cheese! I wear hats all the time in Arizona to protect my face from the sun and this hat is so cute!

Here are their menus but I had the following and it was perfection for a Sunday lunch outdoors.

• BELICE 12.50 df “Italian BLT” pecan smoked balsamic glazed bacon, roasted tomatoes, mashed avocado, garlic aioli, green leaf lettuce, house made piadina (Italian flatbread)

• GARLIC FRIES 8 v golden fries, minced garlic, extra virgin olive oil, grana padano, parsley, house made garlic aioli

• SANGRIA GLASS 8 / CARAFE 26.95 House made red or white (we shared the white)

Below is a quick little video of outside where you can sit to eat. It is a not great quality because I am not a videographer. Ha ha. You can hear the musician too.

Thanks for stopping by!

Peace!
