Tis the seasons for picnics, BBQs, outdoor concerts, and outdoor entertaining!
So in celebration, welcome to a very fun giveaway on RE today!
Michelob ULTRA is introducing a refreshing new drink–Michelob ULTRA Light Cider–a naturally sweetened, gluten-free cider, with one-third fewer calories than other ciders (it’s sweet, without being too sweet).
It’s a great, portable alternative to wine, perfect for the picnic basket or cooler!
I also love the outdoor idea of hosting friends while camping (this is actually a really fun thing to do–invite your friends to visit your campsite for a picnic).
Whatever type of picnic you choose, today I’m giving away this very cool outdoor picnic kit to help turn your outdoor gathering into an ULTRA experience.
The kit includes Light Cider samples, snacks, and an array of items from the Crate & Barrel® seasonal collection, including a Table In A Bag, picnic blanket, napkins and an insulated tote.
Part of this awesome giveaway is a very different kind of table from Crate & Barrel, one that folds up in a bag. How brilliant is that?
It comes in its own case, so you can take it with you for entertaining.
I found a space in our back patio area that was perfect for this table to reside in all the time.
I added this very neat vinyl tablecloth.
And all the goodies in the bag. I added a little fruit, ice, apple … and I was set for a picnic on my back patio.
It’s nice to offer different picnic snacks, and also a variety of drinks. The Michelob ULTRA Light Cider, which is very refreshing and summery, has a “crisp apples” taste, with fewer calories than leading hard ciders.
ONE LUCKY WINNER will hopefully find this cool picnic basket to be the perfect addition to your fun outdoor entertaining opportunities this summer (or Father’s Day?)
WHAT TO WIN:
· $20 gift card to purchase Light Cider samples
· 2 acrylic glasses
· 1 Crate & Barrel Table In A Bag
· 2 napkins
· 1 insulated picnic bag
· 1 picnic blanket
· 1 cutting board
· 1 summer sausage
· 1 box of crackers
ANSWER to WIN:
Have you packed up your car or had a backyard picnic yet this summer? What simple foods will you take to keep it “easy?”

Hi, I'm Sandy. Five years ago I stocked up on beautiful glasses from the Dollar Store. As I started writing about dinner parties, I realized that this "icon" portrays a great message. 
I want to share with you some of my favorite places to visit in blog-land, sites that I learn from and am inspired by, and some beautiful friends that I’ve met over the years.
no not yet, but to keep it very easy publix subs.

Haven’t yet, but we are looking forward to some outdoor dining at picnics and hopefully a concert or two! I have been loving that Crate and Barrel table since I saw it in a magazine article. It is so perfect!
[Reply]
Yes, we have had 4 picnics since beginning of May. I like to pack bite size fruit pieces and sandwich rollups sliced ahead of time into smaller pieces so you only have to use 2 fingers to pick them up.
[Reply]
No picnics in the park yet, but I always carry snacks for my little ones. We like fresh fruit, and fixings for cracker sandwiches…crackers, cheese, meat. Yum!

No picnics yet – but we usually go to Royal Farms to get fried chicken.

have not had a picnic yet this summer but we’re going to pack one up and have one after a bike ride on a trail near our house, even if its just wine and cheese!
[Reply]
yes! My mom has her camping gear all packed up in her car for whenever the urge hits us and we’re going to go out camping and have girls weekends!
We’ll take things to make omelets, sandwiches, hobo dinners, etc. Yay!

Not yet, the weather has been weird, but we are itching to get at it. The Light Cider looks amazing. Need to find it. Love to pack sandwiches and fresh berries straight from the Farmer’s Market. Yum. Sometime a nice baguette, butter and cheese is nice as well.
[Reply]
No picnic yet——but plan one soon. Like to take finger foods like various cheese slices, crackers, summer sausage/salami, sliced ham, mini bread slices, and fresh fruit mixed together.
[Reply]
Yes, we have had several picnics in our favorite park this summer. We also pack some cheese and crackers, fruit and our favorite tortilla chips. I’ve been wanting to get one of those Crate and Barrel tables in a bag to make our picnic even better.
[Reply]
We have not done so. We look forward to hopefully do it sometime soon. A picnic is always a comfort. It is usually easy. We pack up pre-cut raw veggies and dips and have sandwiches and lemon squares. Or if we bring a little carry grill we will have brats.
[Reply]
Our first picnic is next week. We will be listening to the community concert band in the park with takeout on the blanket. One of our favorite summer traditions!
[Reply]
My favorite place to picnic is at the beach in the late afternoon. Don’t have to worry as much about sunburn. We’ve been several times since the weather has warmed up. I usually take something like sandwiches that don’t require utensils.

We haven’t had any picnics this summer yet, but easy things that come to mind are rotisserie chickens from Costco (great for cutting up and adding to a entree salad), cheese & crackers, a great big watermelon, and fresh berries with whipped cream or a yogurt/whipped cream dip.

Last Sunday we ate lunch out in the gazebo. We also camped out at the lake with some friends over Memorial Day weekend and had a picnic by the lake. Food tastes more special outside:)

We haven’t had an outdoor picnic or party yet this year, but lots of fresh salads and snacks are the way to go in my opinion. Keep everything simple, light, and fresh with lots of dips, veggies, fresh fruit, and sandwiches!

I always keep a picnic blanket and sunscreen with me – just in case! There’s always a KFC/Subway/grocery store on the way to the park, right? We usually pack simple sandwiches and fruit, but I really like to pack one large, homemade focaccia sandwich for everyone to share and a big container of mixed berries.
[Reply]
No picnic yet – but we really should. I’m sure my little one would love running around while Mom and Dad eat nearby. I’d bring sandwiches already made up, fruit and other simple things that don’t require assembly or make a big mess.

Ah, summer has yet to appear in our neck of the woods. But I’m anxious for its arrival!
We often pack up a lot of fresh fruit, a bit of chocolate, and a stack of pb & j sandwiches made with homemade raspberry jam – and then grab some juice or water from a local store on the way to our destination. Often the river, but sometimes the backyard!
We’ve recently moved and I’m excited to set up a new backyard sanctuary for meals and friends! I love all of your encouraging posts – thank you!!

LOVE picnics! Glad we got some in on the patio and in the backyard before the heat index soared to over 100 degrees! ugh! Memorial Day weekend we stayed at a friend’s lakehouse and had some yummy pizza, fruit and adult beverages and juice pouches on the boat house deck. We also savored some of our first watermelon of the season! It was so good! Our littlest, who recently turned 3, always asks if we can have a picnic and eat our meals outdoors. She would squeal if she knew we won a picnic giveaway! Thanks for the chance!

[Reply]
I also follow on Pinterest!

We have both packed the car and had a picnic in the mountains and have picnicked on our back deck. Easiest thing for me is just take whatever is for dinner (or lunch) that day, put it on plates and we all walk outside with it.
[Reply]
What a great giveaway…we have used our table for years and LOVE it! Our friends have also invested in them and love them. A few of them have even made tablecloths for them. When we go to the 1812 symphony on the waterfront…we make our own buffet table with them. They are awesome! If I win this giveaway, I would give it to our daughter as a wedding present! Thank you for the great picnic giveaway! I am sharing this on my bloggy facebook page! Happy Tuesday!

We have had a couple of picnics already. The weather has been so nice! My favorite thing for a picnic is fruit. Most of it just needs to be washed and it’s great plain. To keep my husband happy, we also always have chips and pretzels.
[Reply]
Yes I have. We had beautiful weather this weekend, so I went to my in-laws cabin on an island up north. I packed all sorts of food – I like to complicate things and bake a bunch before I go, so the easiest thing I bring is stuff for sandwiches

We pack a cooler every Wednesday in the summer as we head off to a swim meet. Last week was the first of the season – - I packed an Asian Grilled Chicken Salad, whole wheat crackers, grapes and bottled water. Loved the salad; it’s one we’ll be making again this summer.
Love the giveaway package! I have yet to see the Michelob Ultra Ciders in the stores around here.

Planning a camping/boating trip for the 4th of July. Lots of BBQ and s’mores. Thanks, would love to win!

No we haven’t done a picnic yet. I am still waiting for our Oregon Coast weather to clear up, lol. It can’t decide to be sunny more than a few days in a row. When we did though, we’d probably do sandwiches or something easy.
[Reply]
I posted a comment about what we would do for a picnic but now I don’t see it. Did I miss it?
We haven’t had a picnic yet because our Oregon Coast weather hasn’t decided to completely clear up yet and we’ve only been down to the beach once. We’d probably do sandwiches but maybe some pigs n a blanket too.

My three children and I have just started our summer! My four-year old’s dearest wish is to have a picnic “in the forest”, by which she means the thin scrim of woods that lies behind our house! We like to go to Winterthur, a beautiful place in Delaware, and have many picnics there.
My children like very simple food on our picnics — cheese sticks, turkey roll-ups, crackers, pea pods, mini cucumbers, or pear tomatoes from the garden, baguettes with butter, dried fruit salads, homemade chocolate chip cookies, and cold lemonade. We could take that wonderful little table with us and eat under the amazing trees.
[Reply]
Haven’t gone on one yet but I like to take sandwiches, potato salad, cheese and crackers and some iced tea.

We haven’t yet(we’re planning on a camping trip soon), but I would pack grapes, apple slices, and sandwich fixings.

We plan to have our first picnic this weekend for Father’s Day. We’ll pack sandwiches & fruit and enjoy it on a hike around a lake.

One down. Many more to go. (Next time I’ll invite friends to join us….entertaining away from home seems less stressful to me). We did pasta salad, lots of fruit, chips and homemade salsa (and wine).

No picnics yet, but will probably have lots of them this summer when our kids are out of school. We love sandwich wraps, pasta salad, fresh fruit and mini muffins.

We have been eating outside at least once a week, or at least having Popsicle on the porch after dinner.

I have not had a backyard picnic yet, but I am feeling inspired to have one soon! We have had a beach picnic though.

We’ve several back yard picnics and a staple item is roasted corn/avocado lime salsa with chips. Everyone loves it and when accompanied by your favorite wine/beer/cocktail, a party ensues!

Yes, we bring sub sandwiches, chips and cookies. Plus lots to drink.

Just got back from camping and kept it simple. Dinner last night was bean, chicken, rice bowls with salsa and cilantro.

We bring a peach for each child and pb&j sandwich, carrots and water to the park and eat at a table there. Loads of fun for the kids, quick to prepare, not too spendy.
