Picnic on the beach

Summer is in full swing, the sun is shimmering on the water, and we can’t tell if it’s the law of physics, human biology, or both, that the combination of sun, salt air, and saltwater inspire ravenous hunger.

That’s why we’ve gathered our favorite recipes to make in advance (and that will last the drive) to take along with you on your next beach trip.
