Romantic Picnic For Two Menu

There is no better way to say I love you this summer than by surprising your significant other with a simple picnic dinner at sunset. Pick a spot that is meaningful to you — maybe it's at the crest of a hill in your favorite park, or on a giant rock on the beach overlooking the ocean.
