The great thing about picnics is that you can have them just about anywhere; a park with picnic tables, a large stone or log in the woods, your own deck or patio, or a sandy flat at the beach.

Granted, if you are on your patio and have access to your kitchen, it’s certainly much easier to prepare and serve a fun, delicious meal. But a little advance preparation and a decent picnic basket will allow you to enjoy some tasty cuisine just about anywhere!

I’ve included some articles to help you pack the perfect picnic, and listed the things I always make sure to bring in my basket.

• Corkscrew & bottle opener
• Plastic/paper cups
• Napkins/paper towel
• Bottled water
• Cheese & crackers
• Blanket/quilt
