picnics!
So, summer is here and for many people, that means outdoor festivals, trips to the beach, days at the lake, and general outside fun. What are your favorite places to go for picnics and what types of food do you like to bring?
This summer will be the first where I'll be able to go to the beach with any regularity, so that's exciting. I grew up 5-6 hours from the beach and now, once I figure out public transportation, I can be at my favorite beach within an hour or so! Also, Boston has all kinds of outdoor events like free movies and concerts. Tomorrow I'm packing a picnic for my boyfriend and I to go to see a free movie on the river (which is why I'm looking for ideas.. haha!).
My favorite picnic foods are now all banished from my diet, so I tried out some roasted chickpeas today since they're so portable and my boyfriend loves them. I went a little overboard on the garlic, but I like them! Much better than popcorn for a movie. I'm thinking about making some stuffed mushrooms because they're easy to grab and go, as well as being one of my favorite foods in general.
