Snow Day Picnic

We’ve just gotten a foot of snow in New York (no excuse for the failure to post in ages!) and although it’s a bit of hassle to get around, it has turned the city into a winter wonderland! There’s something about snow that makes me want to find my sled, grab my dad’s hand, and go in search of the nearest hill. It makes me feel like a little girl again – which somehow makes this time of year feel all the more exciting.

Since I’m not one to stay inside on beautiful snowy day like this, (ok maybe I am – I am curled up in blankets on the computer right now) I love the idea of having a picnic in the snow, bundling up, and serving all of your cold-weather favorites! I’ve mentioned before how my best friend and I love having non-traditional picnics (at night, on roofs, breakfast picnics, etc…) and this would be right up our alley.

Our menu would probably include mulled wine, chili, and maybe a still hot-out-of-the-oven Derby pie…

Whether or not it’s snowing where you are, I hope you will get outside and enjoy time with family and friends this holiday season, no matter how many layers (or leopard print coats) you might have to put on!
