Fresh air and great food: two stellar reasons why summertime picnics continue to be a favorite family pastime. But creating the perfect basket can be a bit of a balancing act—over-packing can turn out to be a pain and under-packing can leave you stranded. Don’t worry. We’ve got the picnicking essentials to help you get out the door and on your way to enjoying a fun day in the sun.
A Tisket a Tasket…
First thing’s first—invest in a nice picnic basket that has everything built in. You will use it for years to come, so it’s worth getting something with “the works” (like plates, cups, cloth napkins and silverware).
Pack in the Charm
Pick and bring along a couple blooms from your garden for a touch of whimsy. And who says picnics can’t have courses? Start things off with a nice cheese plate and bunch of grapes. Pair it with a cool sip of something refreshing—perhaps fruit-infused water (strawberry and orange slices are fun), or sweet sangria for adults!
Fill It with Flavor
Preparing the rest of your picnic couldn’t be easier with
Cedar’s family of products. Your fellow picnickers will savor a freshly-baked baguette with Cedar’s Tzatziki, Taboule and Black Bean Salad, Cedar’s Wraps and a few Cedar’s Snack Packs! No prep needed. Just throw them in and go. And don’t forget a little something sweet—dark chocolate squares, anyone?
