Maine Holiday

Over Memorial Day Weekend I was on the coast of Maine for the holiday weekend. Even the cold temps and torrential rains on Saturday didn't dampen our fun.

We rented a killer house in Yarmouth through AIRBNB. If you don't know about this sight then you need to sign up - stat!

A few photos of the house



We ate at a fab spot in Portland that seemed to be a hot spot with the locals - BAR LOLA.

On our way south to Boston we made a stop at one of my "Maine musts" SNUG HARBOR FARM,

Happy Memorial Day

Memorial Day Picnic Must Haves

Memorial Day is the kick off to summer and what better way to kick off the season than a picnic with friends in the mountains or at the beach!

A summer staple is the perfect picnic BASKET

Or a picnic cooler with lots of room for wine. Like this ONE - my kind of picnic!

If you and your peeps don't love the idea of sitting on the ground, how about this deluxe picnic portable TABLE?

Why not pack one of these cheese BOARDS?

Rather than a bottle of chardonnay (yawn) pack a bottle of rose and champagne like these favorites from COPPOLA VINYARDS

Wondering what to serve? 

A CEASAR SALAD - pack the dressing on the side

ROASTED ASPARAGUS prepared in advance and served at room temp

PRESSED SALAMI SANDWICHES

And keeping with the summer theme - STRAWBERRY CUPCAKES and pop the champagne. Cheers to summer!
