Are you stuck in an eating-out rut? Try some of these fun picnic ideas with your friends and family!
A Picnic at the Park
Fill a backpack with the essentials: bread knife, cutting board, and sandwich toppings of your choice. Complete the lunch by buying:
Carrot sticks and hummus
Potato chips
Juice boxes (for the kids) and bottled water (for the adults)
Ice cream from a truck
A Picnic on the Road
A homemade Turkey Wrap beats goopy plane food any day. At the supermarket, buy:
Turkey wrap ingredients
Sugar snap peas or steamed edamame
Crackers and firm cheese (such as Swiss, Cheddar, or Muenster)
Fruit (such as apples, pears, and grapes)
Chocolate bar
A Picnic at the Lake
Make sturdy foods that are great served chilled: Spicy Cold Chicken and a Bitter Orange Crostata can stand up to the sand and the heat of waterside picnics. To round out the meal, buy:
A half gallon of lemonade
Guacamole and tortilla chips
Pre-sliced watermelon
