What better way to soak up this warm weather than to go on a picnic! Picnics can seem overwhelming and not worth the hassle but all you really need are a few ideas to kick start your fun outing.

First up: Pick a Location

This can be anywhere from a long hike to your favorite destination or even right in your backyard! Some of our favorite spots are:

  • A local park (with a playground for kids).
  • The lakeside beach (pack swimsuits and water toys for an optimized experience).
  • A local game (pack picnic and eat while watching your favorite local sports teams).
  • The Zoo (bring a fun assortment to the zoo and make it a whole day event).

Next: Pick What Food to Bring

The Olive Blogger gives some amazing gourmet ideas to really elevate your picnic! She has recipes for  Prosciutto Wrapped Asparagus, Hasselback Tomato Caprese, Bacon Sriracha Potato Salad, Roasted Chickpea Gyros, and Chicken Stuffed French Bread! For those with a little less time on their hands and a much simpler pallet, Insanely Good Recipes offers some simpler side dishes! Check them out for items like deviled eggs, biscuits, sausage rolls and chex mix! 

Third Step: Pick Some Fun Drinks

You don’t have to resort to boring old bottled waters for your picnic. Instead, try spicing it up with some of  BBC’s Good Foods famous recipes. Homemade ginger beer, Blueberry and mint iced tea, summer punch, and peach iced tea are just a few of fun drinks you’ve never thought to bring.

Fourth: Pick a Dessert

You can’t have a picnic without bringing some little treats to satisfy that sweet tooth. Perhaps the most classic option is chocolate covered strawberries! Amanda Tarlton provided even more clever desserts in her 40 Desserts Perfect for a Summer Picnic. Things like mini smores and Lemon Coconut bites are sure to bring the perfect finale to an amazing picnic. (Do not forget to pack your favorite basket and blanket to sit on.)

Lastly: Spend your picnic with the people you love

Use these tips to make an ordinary meal one to remember at a fun place with the people you love. It will be a warm-weather season to remember.
