mommyx4 Posted October 12, 2015 Share Posted October 12, 2015 We are spending a large amount of time at the ball field 3-4 nights a week. I'd like to pack some easy, healthy picnic dinners rather than heading to the fast food joint. Any ideas? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Annie G Posted October 13, 2015 Share Posted October 13, 2015 We took meals with us for years when the kids did theater. One of the most popular items- chicken tenders that I coated with panko and either baked or fried, then kept in the fridge to take with us cold. They could be eaten cold with a honey mustard dip, wrapped in a tortilla with stuff added, etc. Ds loved them dipped into spaghetti sauce- great way to use up a little leftover sauce. Tortilla wraps cut into bite sized pieces are always a hit because a kid can take one or two quickly when they have no time to eat a whole wrap...making it easier to get a meal into them in small time segments. pasta salad with chicken added is hearty main dish salad. Plus pasta salad can be a good way to use whatever you have lingering in the fridge...a few cherry tomatoes, carrot bits, diced cheese, etc. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
