One person will be chosen at random — all you have to do to be eligible is post something Picnic-ish or Mother’s Day-ish or just simply Delicious-ish on Facebook or Instagram then tag me and Applegate (here’s their Facebook & Instagram) so we can find you. Deadline: Sunday, May 10 at 5:00 PM ET. Good luck everyone!
