Summertime Picnic

Summertime picnics are simply the best. Nothing beats wandering to your favourite park, kicking off your shoes and wiggling your toes into the soft, lush grass. Settle in for a long, lazy picnic. So grab a couple of friends, your family, your pet, and take a peek at some of my picnic staples.

This wicker picnic basket has side storage for wine bottles. What more could you ask for? The deluxe picnic blanket below has a plastic underlay so even if the grass is wet, your bum won't be.

The best spanakopita in my town can be found at the local bulk cheese warehouse- don't forget the hammer sauce!

Smoked meat sausage from Dean & Deluca.

Australian reds are light enough to drink in the summer but hold their own against strong cheese and cured  meat.


Stop by your local farmers market before heading to the picnic spot to stock up on fresh produce.

These are absolutely the BEST cupcakes out there. In fact, if you're bringing them along on your picnic you might not need to bring anything else, just cupcakes, because they'll be the only thing you want to eat. Crave Cupcakes in Calgary. Below is my personal favourite, the Dirty Blonde.
This bicycle with its low-ride seat and basket, is perfect for cruising to the park with. http://www.summerbicycles.com/
