There is everything from salads, dairy-free coleslaws, snackable veggies, finger foods, cookies, brownies and more! Some recipes are simple and easy and some involve a bit more prep (but also have an awesome payoff!).

Summer is the best time to enjoy the outdoors. There is nothing better than a sunny day where you and your loved ones can create a delicious meal at home, pack it up to go and take it to a beautiful park or beach to enjoy it outside. Not only does it get you some fresh air, but packing your own picnic saves money too!
