Michel Hernandez said...I love anything with tortillas! They are versatile, and you can do just about anything with them. My son loves to eat peanut butter and jelly rollups, cut up like sushi, but his dad and I prefer rollups with cream cheese, salsa, and pepperoni. Perfect for a beautiful day at the park!

Tom said...Take 1/4lb of 4 of your favorite cold cuts.
some Sanfrancisco Sour Dough bread, the real stuff, artisan bread not that molded stuff.
Some Cheddar and Pepperjack Cheeses.
Some condiments such as dark yellow mustard, some mayo and whatever else tickles your fancy. Roma or vine ripe tomatoes and some lettuce to taste.
Add some fruity wine and have an afternoon in the park under an old willow tree with a favorite person, for the most delicious afternoon. Caution, some assembly required!

Mary said...I love bringing really good fruit salad on a picnic with me :) Usually I include a combination of peaches, apples, grapes, melon, and berries in my fruit salads. Also, another good idea is to make "ants on a log", which is celery sticks filled with peanut butter and topped with raisins. This is especially good if you're hiking to your picnic spot, since it will give a great energy boost!

Jen said...We like spaghetti salad...cook angel hair pasta according to package directions...rinse and allow to cool. Slice or dice some fresh cucumber and tomato. Toss with pasta, salad seasoning and Italian dressing. This one is cool and refreshing and you don't have to worry so much about it spoiling, either.

Stella said...It's never a picnic without some fried chicken. I use chicken thighs and legs. Coat with seasoned flour (salt, pepper, garlic powder, chili powder, cumin). Heat vegetable oil on stove. Place seasoned flour in brown paper bag and drop chicken pieces into flour mix. Shake well. Gently place chicken in hot oil, fry 4-5 pieces at a time, leaving room for chicken (do not overcrowd). Fry chicken for approx 25-30 minutes. Flip after 15 minutes to ensure even cooking/crispiness on both sides. Drain chicken on paper towels. Eat and enjoy!

ginger said...2-3 cups broccoli florets-- you can buy them in bags at the grocery already cut up-- some cashews and dried cranberries or cherries-- about 1/2 cup each or more-- and a simple dressing made of 1/2 cup mayonnaise, 3 TBLS honey, and 1.5 TBLS apple cider vinegar-- toss and serve. My kids love it and it's great on the side of just about anything.

FrankquelineB said...I am a single mom of 2 children and I have always tried to find simple things to take with us to the park or beach to eat. My children are not hard to please so we usually fix something with crackers, bread, or tortillas. My kids really love chicken salad on crackers with fruit salad they can eat with their hands.
Fruit Salad
1 apple, 6 strawberrys, 20 grapes(green and purple), melon, berries of choice. Mix, seperate, put in ziploc bags.
I mix this up and put it small balls for each child
Chicken Salad
1 skinless, boneless chicken breast 2/3 cup elbow macaroni 1 (20 ounce) can pineapple chunks, drained 1 apple, cored and diced 1 stalk celery, diced 2 (1.5 ounce) boxes raisins 1 cup mayonnaise 1 teaspoon white sugar 1 teaspoon salt.
I also use frozen bottles of water with crystal light as our ice packs. Works really well.
