Growing up, picnics happened often, even if just in the back yard. I remember the smell of Mom's lilac bushes and her crispy fried chicken. And that is the best part of picnics, you can enjoy one anywhere ~ the park, the beach, at the lake, or in your own backyard. Pack up these easy to transport, picnic perfect recipes, and enjoy the most delicious outdoor meals, all Summer long.
