One of my absolute favorite things to do all warm weather season is take advantage of Atlanta’s gorgeous green, hilly parks and pack a picnic with friends.  I do it so often that in my humble opinion I’ve become somewhat a master of the picnic pack.  In fact, I’d say I’ve got it down to an art form at this point. 
 
First when packing a picnic, keep the menu light, seasonal and simple.  I opt for food that is easy to transport and can be eaten with minimal utensils, like a cheese platter and my fresh grilled corn salad (recipe coming Wednesday of this week).  And I love bringing melamine platters and trays such as these to serve drinks on because the ground tends to not be the most even of surfaces.  Don’t forget to factor in the the heat; whenever entertaining in the hot summer sun, I always use festive reusable ice cubes to keep drinks cool without watering them down.  And what’s a picnic without the necessities: soft, light blankets and a great picnic basket, of course.

Lastly, don’t forget to pack a little entertainment and outdoor games.  Paddleball, horseshoe and a classic kite will provide hours of play and are great for both kids and adults alike.  Turns out, I’m pretty skilled at the art of paddleball, kite flying not so much.  Tell me Loves, are you planning to pack a picnic this summer?  Truly, MKR
