Looking for picnic inspiration? You’ve come to the right place! This was hands down the best Sunday Funday I’ve had in months. It was a gorgeous day – 77 degrees Fahrenheit and sunny in Dallas – and I packed up my last bottle of Folktale Winery sparkling rosé that I’ve been saving for a special…

Fall Picnic at Shakespeare Dallas
When I heard that my friend Karen was playing King Claudius in Shakespeare Dallas‘ all-female version of Hamlet, I raced to get tickets. If you’ve never been to Shakespeare in the Park, you’re in for a treat. This is how Shakespeare was meant to be enjoyed: under the stars. There’s just nothing better than sitting…
Happy Hour on the Beach
The time has finally come: my first picnic on our new beach at the lake house. We have dreamed about having a beach out at Blueberry Hill for at least a decade! I’ve been saving my 2017 Ignis from Kuhlman Cellars for a special occasion. It seemed fitting to toast the beach with a really…
Lemon Lakeside Picnic
I met some friends at The Harbor Rockwall today for a lemon lakeside picnic. Did you Texas has a major lake scene? In the summertime, The Harbor is bustling with boats and outdoor concerts but in the winter, I still love sitting by the sparkling blue water with a view of the lighthouse. I couldn’t…
Charcuterie Cones
Could this be any cuter! I’m squealing just looking at the pictures. A couple of years ago, I made homemade bread cones for Disney Dinners: Cars because Disney’s California Adventure sells the “cozy cones” at the Cozy Cone Motel in Cars Land. For my dinner, I filled the cones with mac ‘n’ cheese a la…
Sunset Picnic by the Lake
This week I celebrated my friend Jacob’s birthday with a sunset picnic by the lake at the beautiful Harbor District in Rockwall, Texas. The Harbor is about twenty minutes east of Dallas and has gorgeous Spanish-esque architecture, fountains galore, an amphitheater, and a picturesque lighthouse. It’s the perfect spot to watch the sunset over the…
French Inspired Picnic
I’ve been dreaming of a trip to the French countryside lately so my fellow France-loving friend Thi and I decided to have a French Inspired Picnic at a park this weekend! It was the first beautiful day of spring: 64 degrees, vast blue skies, and no clouds in sight. I slipped into the dreamiest dress…
Pesto Picnic Sandwich
I can’t remember the last time I had a better sandwich. I could write a love song about this sandwich. I wanted an easy baguette sandwich for a French Inspired Picnic with my friend Thi. This only has a couple of ingredients but WOW does it taste magical when you put them together! I decided…
Maple Cream Scones
Super soft scones with a kiss of maple I’m a stickler for soft scones. I typically make English style scones (like this one) but I recently adapted this recipe from my mom’s scone recipe and wow, is it good! My mom went through a major scone phase when I was a teenager and now I…
