Picnic in the Park

Erin, Lara & I enjoy our Monday eve picnic

My favorite part about summer in the city? Picnic time! My friends know that I love to picnic. I have the gear to prove it (blankets, citronella candles, plates, baskets, etc.) and some trusted recipes to boot. A picnic is romantic and is a lovely way to bring friends together.

Milenium Park is just a short walk from my place and offers up unbeatable views of the city, and world-class music. I try to go as often as possible. I'm hoping to make it my official home away from home this summer.
