[…] This picnic looked so yummy and fun. “The point really is about creating the space to enjoy a meal or hefty snack in a beautiful setting along with people you care about.” […]

Maybe because it is a beautifully written blog with awesome recipes?!

PS: Brian, maybe you are having a shitty day. We’ve all been there. But why take it out on someone else?

[…] I am perfectly suited to be a great picnic-er. Cheese, bread, salami, and cut up fruits and veggies are my favorite. If it was my every meal, I don’t think I would be unhappy at all. I would fight the ants to the death for the last crumbs. (pics 1, 2, 3) […]

That is a near perfect picnic meal. Everything can be served room temperature-ish and nothing prone to wilting or falling apart. We usually do meat + cheese + bread and fruits but would be nice to add a grain salad to our picnic so we’re not eating our weight in salami and goat cheese….:)

i love the picture of your people! so sweet and natural. Glad you enjoyed your trip, sounds wonderful. I, too, let particulars get in the way of a simple time with people and the joy of hosting them…the kind of hosting that doesn’t take a ton of effort, but makes them feel given too, like you said. I suppose we always need reminders even when we know what is best. Constantly learning. xo

Lovely post! I do find that I overthink and stress about these things, takes the easy breeziness away from lazy summer afternoons. I think you’ve put some things in perspective 🙂

I made these this morning. Added a grated carrot in place of the chocolate chips. Hoping it will taste with carrot cake meets oatmeal cookies. They’re in the oven now.

Wonderful thoughts on being present to others. Thanks for the reminder. 🙂

Love your explanation of etiquette! I completely agree…and I seriously need to go on a picnic now. Both the quinoa and watermelon salads look fantastic.

Oh girl, I know that feeling so well. It’s incredibly freeing to stop thinking about myself and put the focus on someone else. Now if only I could just do it. 🙂

Right?! Two days ago was National Picnic Day. I had no idea but it makes sense. The weather is nice which to means it’s time to eat outside!

We do. It’s true. (On another random note, I just wanted to say thank you for all of your comments. They mean the world to me.)

It’s so true. So often I think of how I can make others feel good and then forget about my own family. They are the perfect place to start. Thanks for the comment.
