Picnic

Enjoy the outdoors without going too far or making too great an effort. Picnic recipes should be made at home, and ready to eat without any cooking. Simple vegetable dishes, sandwiches, and spreads are usually best. Pack it all into a basket, grab a blanket, and meet your friends at the nearest park.
