It's outdoor dining season, and we couldn't be readier!

As soon as the weather warms, you’ll catch us scrolling around online for the best picnic basket, digging our vintage checked picnic blanket out of storage, and writing up menus filled with these recipes, in anticipation of picnic season.

There’s just something about eating outdoors that makes food taste better, right? Maybe it’s the fresh air. Maybe it’s the sunshine. Who knows? All we know is that we can’t wait to do it! Give us a spot on the grass and a slight breeze, and all we can think about is how good a slice of tomato pie or a heaping scoop of fruit crisp would be. Excuse us why we go clear our weekend schedule.
