It’s picnic szn! Wondering what to pack that’s satisfying, healthy, and easy to throw together? I gotchu.
In Calgary, hot and sunny days are few and far between. So when they arrive, we take full advantage. We went out to the mountains (luckily, very close to where we live) and had a breathtaking view of the Rockies. We are also very lucky in that we live super close to two Save-on-Foods locations. Are we there almost every day? Yes. Am I a little bit addicted to that store? Also, yes.
I grabbed all my picnic supplies (including cutlery and other picnic accessories) from Save-on-Foods.
