Cooking Games and Picnics


Picnics are a staple of the summer months, and planning for a picnic can be a lot of fun. To really plan well for a picnic, you’ll need to account for the main courses and have plenty to choose from when it comes to side dishes, drinks and desserts. If you’re looking for a no-cook picnic, you can’t go wrong with a few staples.

Sandwiches – You can opt for the basics if you have some peanut butter and jelly, or you can get much more elaborate with special breads, meats and cheese. If you have a sandwich with meat, cheese or mayo, be sure it’s refrigerated to keep from spoiling.

Bottled water – It’s not glamorous, but it’s the best drink you could choose on a hot summer day. While it’s best cold, of course, you can just throw a few bottles into the basket without chilling them if you need to to be sure everyone stays hydrated.

Fruit – Whole fruit won’t need to be kept cold making apples, bananas and grapes easy to transport and healthy to eat, but you’ll need to keep fruit salad chilled if that’s what you opt to create. Either way, fruit is cold, delicious and perfect for cooking games at picnics.
