SRH weekly favs // the ultimate summer picnic guide! → all the BEST recipes, cocktails, supplies & essentials 🍉
Today's blog post maaay be one of the most fun we've ever done! There's something about summertime and outside meals, you know?!
In the summer, we LOVE packing up a meal and eating it at the beach or a park. (Ditto for even just eating outside on our back patio.)
There's just something more FUN and whimsical about sharing a meal outside in nature with family. The kids can roam around and be a little more free. And, so can we.
It sort of brings me back to my own childhood— the carelessness of messy, outside picnic meals. The freedom and joy of it. The peace and fresh air it breathes into us all.
I know not everyone lives somewhere with tolerable summers heat-wise (thank you, Pacific Northwest), but if there's a milder day coming up on the forecast, just try it!
Try packing up a big cooler bag of your favorite on-the-go dishes. Maybe even bring a bottle of wine or canister of your favorite summer cocktail for mom and dad. ;)
Great for packing up all of the necessities and helping your cool items stay cool! Love this size because it fits lunch for me and the kids and keeps it cool. Freezer packs are built in and I love the strap that's easy to carry when you've got a lot else to carry. (I also love this one if it was just me, and less about function. It's so freaking cute!

No-break wine glasses (an outside meal essential in my book). I love these cups instead of other plastic wine glasses because when you're done you just seal the slider and can throw it in a bag. Easy clean up, AND it keeps your white/rosé/mocktails actually cold. No one wants lukewarm drinks of any kind.
3.
These popsicle molds for your favorite homemade cool treats.
Love that they're small— less mess, and perfect amount! Bonus: cute ears and faces kids love. These may not be exactly easy to bring along for picnics, but they're perfect backyard summer treats. Hack: pour your leftover smoothies in the molds for frozen smoothie pops!
It's a long weekend coming up and I hope you can get outside with your crew! Pick one of the recipes from today's post and pack a bag and just go for it! I promise, it's worth the extra-planning and time it takes to get things together. Here's to a happy, safe 4th.
