Backyard Eats: Poppin' Bottles, Lightin' Fires
No reservations required when you bring date night to the backyard. The best way to heat up the atmosphere is with a fire, of course…especially one that’s easy to light. Stock up on our OUTDOOR firelogs (to find them near you, check out this link) and get the perfect fire going right in your backyard fire pit. Our other date night tips?
- Spread out a big blanket. When you’re comfy and not crowded (or stuck to the grass), you’ll wanna sit back and stay awhile. We recommend choosing something you’re not too afraid of getting dirty. In other words? Skip the dry-clean-only fabrics.
- Light it up! String some fairy lights outside to set a marvelous mood. Bonus points if it’s a surprise.
- Choose a bottle of something special. Date night in the backyard is an occasion, so buy accordingly! Whether you go for a little something that brings back memories (maybe the wine you ordered on your first date?) or some bubbles that are sliiightly more luxe than what you usually purchase, you won’t regret it. Serve in unbreakable glasses!
- Cheese? Yes, please! Start date night in the kitchen by building a charcuterie board together. It’s fun, it’s easy and the best part…no cooking required. We recommend one hard cheese, one soft cheese and one that you are both trying for the first time. Round out your platter with olives, your favorite fruit, jam, sturdy crackers and whatever cured meats strike your fancy. Don’t forget a baguette!
- Tune it and turn it up! Build a special playlist for the occasion. Want some suggestions? Follow us on Spotify for some musical inspiration.
Happy date night! Share your pics with us on social media for a chance to be featured.
