Hello, foodies…

Don’t you love going on a picnic? There’s something about just packing a basket or a tote and taking your lunch somewhere unexpected. My mother often planned picnics for my brother, sister, and I during the summertime and we felt like we were going on an adventure. Through the magic of insulated totes and stay-cold-longer containers, you can take nearly anything to-go. But there are some dishes that just scream summer picnic and I’ve compiled a list of my 15 best dishes. You can find all of them in one handy pin on my Pinterest page. You can also see them in the In the Kitchen with David app for iPhone or on my Recipe Page.

P.S. I nearly forgot...our friends from America’s Test Kitchen have some great barbecuing tips and I can’t think of a better time to share their video. Saturday is the first official day of summer and now you’ve got all the sides to go with your grilled main course! Enjoy.
