Picnics seem like such a quintessential summer thing, don’t they? Months before, I see stores get ready for all the picnicking that’s sure to happen during summer by displaying picnic-ready dishware, baskets, pretty picnic blankets, napkins, straws, and all that other stuff.
It all looks so appealing to me and the thought of spending time in nature enjoying yummy food sounds like the best combination ever! The thing is, I don’t really find occasion to partake in picnics very often these days. Looking at picnic-worthy foods makes me think that I should put together picnics of my own!
While this does seem like I’m planning for more of an aspirational me, rather than taking in to account the me who actually lives and breathes, I can’t help but feel like some version of myself would be really in to regular picnics.
So, this is how regular-picnicing Tazim picnics: In my head, I’m wearing a sleeveless dress (something I never actually do), I’m sitting on a pretty pink and floral blanket with a handsome man next to me (all my closest friends are male, so this part seems like it could happen), and there’s water, trees, and mountains all around. Spread on the picnic blanket? Oh, probably a few or all of the items on this list of 15 vegan picnic food ideas:
