i love Picnics!! We need to do more of them. Thanks for linking up at #SaucySaturdays.
Yummy you had me at Chicken but everything looks so good that I would like to try it all. As I love Picnics but haven’t been on one in a while.
Thanks for sharing with Saucy Saturdays! I love a great picnic in the Fall!
We do a lot of “car picnics” trying to keep up with my daughter’s athletic schedule. Thanks for more ideas! I hopped over from Inspire Me Monday #48.
That broccoli and cheddar salad looks amazing! Now I need to go on a picnic… I’ll tell the hubby to pack a basket! Thanks for linking up with us at Welcome Home Wednesdays… can’t wait to see you next week!
Oooh, this is a wonderful round-up of picnic foods. I love a great selection/variety when we’re going on a picnic. Easy is nice too!

Wishing you a lovely day.

I am always looking for new recipes for picnics! this is a great roundup! I think that antipasto salad and broccoli salad are going to be making an appearance at my house, picnic or not this next week! Pinned to remember as well!
My daughter is in love with picnics! These are some great ideas to make it a good one. When it cools off a little bit we’ll hafta go out on one as a family again.
These are some great picnic recipes–some I can’t wait to try! Thank you for sharing at Merry Monday!
My family picnics so often in the summer. I love these tips- especially for the real food! I get into a rutt of fruit, chips and sandwiches, but I like to make the effort to pack a good meal!
Kale salad with citrus vinaigrette? Is that even real life? Ohmigoodness! That sounds rich and herbaceous and incredibly healthy. We aren’t big picnic’ers over here but I’d love to get that a try.
We just did some picnicking at Napa Valley (which included some wine tasting). I love the simplicity of it all and leisurely eating…
Cheddar biscuits sounds like a great item to have on a picnic. I really like the idea of using mason jars as dishes.
Oooo some of the recipes look really yummy.????????
Thanks so much for these awesome picnic suggestions and also for including my macaroni salad!
