Picnic snacks in 20 minutes or less
Categories: Fun & Activities, Eating & Nutrition, Mealtime, Resources
Cheaper than buying prepared foods from the store and quicker than you would think, The Observer has a list of 101 picnic recipes that can be put together in 20 minutes or less. Not all are kid-friendly (curried egg salad) and some sound downright strange (cold pizza and lemon), but all are unique and a lot more interesting than plain old potato salad and ham sandwiches.
I've bookmarked the page and will definitely reference it the next time we head out to the beach. What about you? Do you have your own crowd-pleasing picnic basket favorite?

I like the article, but I think that the idea that unusual foods aren't kid friendly is a myth. I get kind of frustrated that it is common in our culture to label foods in this way. Many children eat curry, for example. Including my 1 and 3 year olds. They also eat most everything else that my husband, mostly because they don't know anything different.
I know that some kids are naturally less adventurous eaters but attempting to expose them at least to these foods is not harmful and can be fun.
