Instant picnic menu- a challenge


Recommended Posts

Well, it just so happens that your timing couldn't be better. We just returned from grocery shopping for the next two weeks. :001_smile:

 

PB&J

string cheese

crackers

stawberries/bananas/apples/pears/cantaloupe/pineapple/oranges

carrot and celery sticks

pretzels

teddy grahams (I know, I know. But moooooooom, they're on sale!:glare:)

yogurt

tuna on toast with romaine lettuce (my personal favorite)

 

So where's the picnic? :auto:

Ditto! I just did the monthly shopping yesterday, so we're eating like kings! :001_smile:

I'd make turkey sandwiches, cucumber slices, lemonade, and if I had time, I'd bake some brownies.

 

On a normal day, we'd do pb&j on whole wheat bread, but I'd let the kids who wanted it use honey instead of jelly. I'd probably also still have the cucumber slices, or some baby carrots. We'd still have the lemonade, and probably still have the brownies. I guess the only real difference would be the lunchmeat & the lettuce on the sandwiches. Those things are the first to run out after shopping day.

We go for last-minute picnics all the time. :) I have a collapsible cooler, and I just throw in whatever is handy.

 

Today I've got:

Bread, sunflower butter and jam

Hardboiled eggs

String cheese

Tortilla chips and salsa

Yogurt

Broccoli and sliced carrots

Bananas, apples, raisins

Dinner leftovers--rice and steak strips

(I wouldn't take all of it though!)

 

We've got reuseable water bottles, so we'd fill those too.

Tuna or hummus (We eat tuna straight from the can, but I would have to make up our version of hummus)

carrots, celery

salad

fruit

aluminum water bottles

 

We happen to have crackers, a rarity, and flour tortillas, even more rare around here, so they would go today.

Snow pants, boots, , snow shovel, hot chocolate, apple muffins and maybe popcorn.

 

 

I am visiting my daughter in MN and we are having winter weather! 6 inches of snowman type snow.

Must be an early April's fools joke!

Gotta love the north.
