You don’t necessarily have to create an extravagant meal for your picnic. In fact, it’s usually more fun to have a variety of finger foods that go great together.

I love anything outdoors! That said, I’m one of those people that mosquitoes make a “picnic” out of, lol. The “Deep Woods Off” spray works very well, but I don’t like the smell – and I don’t like feeling sticky all over when I use it. Plus I’m always afraid my puppy will lick it or I’ll get it on my hands – and then in my eyes or mouth. All three of which have happened, lol. So what do I use and love? The Off Clip-on!

These little gadgets are amazing!! I use them when I’m walking the dogs, working out in the yard, sitting on the back deck – you name it. They work VERY well, keep the mosquitoes away from me, and I don’t have to worry about being all sticky. Highly recommended for your outdoor fun this Summer & Fall.

Happy National Picnic Month! Enjoy the ideas above, and leave a comment too – I would love to hear what YOU would take on a “low carb picnic”! 😉
