OUT-

DOORS AND SOAK UP SOME FUN. Summer means warmer weather, longer days, outdoor activities and picnics. A picnic is a fantastic opportunity to disconnect, soak up some quality time and enjoy the outdoors with tasty food. Whether you’re enjoying a date with your honey, planning some fun with friends or gathering with family, there are a variety of options for making memories. When planning a picnic, I like to keep things simple but also add in little touches. I love shopping at the Common Market because it’s a “one-stop-shop” for so many things. I embrace the joy of the experience before I spread out the blanket and open the basket. The market has such a gorgeous display of

Frederick Lifestyle | July 2021

FILL YOUR BASKET WITH FRESHNESS FROM THE COMMON MARKET ARTICLE KIM WILSON PHOTOGRAPHY REBECCA MITCHELL

After grabbing my goodies from the produce section, it’s over to the delicious meats, seafood and cheese department. There is something so fun about creating a charcuterie board of cheeses, spreads, fruit and crackers. Many of the above items are simple to transport and clean. Speaking of simple, I enjoy picking up locally sourced snacks like Route 11 Chips (the BBQ are my favorite) and treats like the cupcakes from Dodah’s Kitchen. Don’t forget to stay hydrated! One of my favorite local drinks (gut healthy too) is kombucha from Kombucha Lady. Her kombucha contains locally grown organic berries and herbs, and she gathers her water locally from the mountain. Ugli water is another highly recommended product that provides healthy hydration and gives back to the ocean.

local, fresh and seasonal food options. I make it my lifestyle to support local businesses, fair trade and our farmers. I enjoy reading which farms and local businesses are feeding our community and helping to create an experience. With summer comes an abundance of energy and activity—a natural vitality that glistens and glows from the inside out. Upon entering the market, I love feeling greeted with the colors of health. The produce section always has a gorgeous display of veggies, fresh herbs and local, sustainable products. Fresh peppers and cucumbers are a great addition to the tasty, organic hummus offered at the market. I love it on wraps as well. And what’s a picnic without fruit? Some of my fruit favorites for a picnic are cantaloupe, watermelon, mangos and berries, and you can’t top the flavor of local heirloom tomatoes in salads and on sandwiches.

CityLifestyle.com/Frederick

FOOD & WINE (CONTINUED)

As you begin to build your menu and desired selection of goodies, pick up some sustainable cutlery, napkins, reusable bags and any other selected items for serving, displaying and transporting. Since you will be outdoors for the picnic, bug spray and sunscreen are a must, and if you love fresh flowers as I do, Common Market has a beautiful selection from local farms and nurseries. After gathering all that you need, you’re ready to head to your location of choice. I often choose Baker Park because of the ambiance, but you should not limit yourself if you feel more adventurous. Whether it’s the mountains, a local park or a drive to the beach, get creative and see what sparks joy! Don’t forget your camera, and have fun making those memories to last a lifetime.

We even had people come who have never done something with us before,” Jen says. “It is a time to rest and replenish and get your soul filled back up spiritually, emotionally and physically.

SIMPLE FOOD WITH A TWIST

RESTAURANT ENTREPRENEUR DOUG VAIRA, OWNER AND CHEF OF TRUTH AND BEAUTY BAR AND KITCHEN, SAYS FREDERICK WAS A PLACE HE HAD LOOKED AT FOR YEARS AS HIS NEXT ADVENTURE. So, when the opportunity to rent a space on Carroll Creek presented, he jumped at it. Admittedly, the name is a bit unusual for a restaurant, but Doug explains that Truth and Beauty come from a line in John Keats’ poem Ode on a Grecian Urn that says, “Beauty is truth and truth beauty.” Doug hopes his restaurant reflects those sentiments. “It speaks to something simpler and true. It resonates through what we do and through our food. We don’t do the foams and trends in food. We are simple, honest food,” Doug says. CONTINUED >

LOCAL LIMELIGHT (CONTINUED)

“Our food speaks for itself. It is simple, comfort food with a twist. We have heard people say it has a southern flair coupled with a touch of Cajun. It’s the kind of food people can really relate to,” Doug says. “As far as our ingredients go, of course, we search for the freshest; however, it’s important to me to support the community as much as possible by sourcing those from local farms, breweries and distilleries. Within the downtown business community, there is authentic support and camaraderie that make it a great place to work and have a business,” says Doug, “We are all feeling optimistic and ready to be with friends and get back to business. I am looking forward to a return to normal where people, once again, come to eat without worry. We have an amazing location right on Carroll Creek with patio dining where we plan to host live music, create beer and wine pairing dinners and simply enjoy our time together,” Doug says.
