Picnic in Fall

Fall is here. This is the time when the trees are showing us their most beautiful colors. As the weather is changing and the days are getting shorter, we tend to stay more in the inside, missing all the great activities that we can still enjoy outdoors.

I specially enjoy this time to be outdoors, the colors are beautiful and the parks are usually less crowded. That’s true, it can be kind of chilly, but with the right outfit we can still have fun out there.

I love to picnic during this time, we can stay in the sun for longer periods and get the most of that vitamin D. I know that keeping the food warm can be challenging. You can choose to pack for a cold lunch. Here are some ideas, beyond the classic sandwich and salad, that can help you to get the more of your picnic experience. These recipes are very easy to prepare, you will only need to grab your ingredients in your picnic basket and you are ready to go.
