Picnic Time Pioneer Picnic Basket

Before summer ends I want to make sure I get to go on a picnic. What better way to celebrate the beautiful warm weather then to sit in a beautiful park or field with a loved one or friend and eat, drink & relax.

I am a fan of the picnic basket pictured above, The Picnic Time Pioneer Picnic Basket , because it comes with everything but the food. It includes a tablecloth, dishes, wine glasses, utensils, salt & pepper shakers , napkins, and even a cutting board and cheese knife!!

Here is my recommended menu for a lovely lunch time picnic:

-grapes
-brie cheese
-crackers
-raspberry jam
-curried chicken salad
-coleslaw
-three bean salad

For dessert, I’d recommend something like banana bread or lady fingers - desserts without frosting or chocolate so it won’t melt.

Bring along a bottle of white wine or a thermos of lemonade and you should be good to go!

Just make sure you check the weather before you go, nothing spoils a picnic like rain or 100 degree heat!
