Pack a picnic

Anonymous Daily Star The Daily Star Sat May 19, 2012, 03:30 AM EDT

You can't have a picnic with out food. Here are just a few menu possibilities:

Sandwiches: Peanut butter and jelly, luncheon meat and slices of cheese to add to bread slices or bagels, yesterdays meat left overs to make into sandwiches or roll up into tortillas.

Fast food: Pizza hot or cold, homemade or bought on the way, precooked chicken wings ready to eat, roasted chicken to enjoy in slices on french bread with cheese, chilled sushi rolls or Chinese noodles.

Vegetable centerpieces: Baby carrots, celery sticks, cucumber slices, apples, pears, watermelon, marinated vegetable salad, steamed artichokes, pasta primavera and steamed asparagus spears are refreshing additions to the picnic menu.

Snacks: Tortilla chips and salsa, pretzels, peanuts in the shell, hummus and chips, trail mix, cookies, brownies, hard candy.

Grillable picnic ideas: hamburgers, hot dogs, sausages, chicken, skewered shrimp, veggie burgers, steak, corn on the cob, portabella mushrooms, zucchini, eggplant, potatoes, whole fish.

As you go: Leave the house with no food and plan a picnic where all the food is bought at local farm stands; cheeses, breads, butter, cider, strawberries, smoked trout, beef jerky, tomatoes to slice, pickles and fruit jelly.
