May is by far one of my favorite month’s of the year. Here in Atlanta the weather is supreme and there are no bugs out yet…perfect for picnics. We have had quite a few in our own backyard or at the park already. I had the pleasure of getting a preview of some of the fun outdoor picnic items by Martha Stewart Collection for Macy’s. I thought it would be fun to try some new picnic ready recipes too. The menu and recipes are below!…

One of Gabe and I’s first date was in college when he surprised me with a picnic for two overlooking the city. I still find it worth it to surprise your loved one once in a while with something personal for just the two of you. If you can’t get away, have one in your own backyard!

We have taken this zip up picnic/beach blanket everywhere! Nice and large and easy to wash. We used it at the beach yesterday for Mother’s day. I consider it one of those shortcuts to easy traveling and days out!

You wouldn’t believe how easy it is to make this fresh pea hummus! And the Penne Frittata was a little intimidating, but shockingly enough I managed not to burn it. I have made this Hibiscus Honey Tea several times since the first time because it is such a hit in the family. Pack sturdy containers to go like the ones pictured for easy cleanup and storage. Let me know if you all give any of these recipes a try! Curious to know your thoughts!
Happy Picnicing!
