Charcuterie board type stuff

Pasta salad with Italian style dressing (v. one with mayo)

Or if no cooler, your classic PBJ and potato chips and whole fruit like clementines, bananas, apples.

Please don’t bring peanut butter to a public park. It’s very inconsiderate.

It’s fine as long as hands and faced are cleaned before playing on equipment. Alternatively, you can make sunbutter and jelly sandwiches.

How about you take your kids Benadryl and Epipen with you and stop policing other people’s food choices in a public space.

Also, freeze or half freeze the quiche since most people worry unnecessarily about it. By the time you eat, the quiche will have thawed and will just be cool.

I think quiche is perfect for a picnic. Maybe nobody wants yours.

I would do something that can stay cold too. And keep in a cooler.
Is it boring to do some sandwiches, mix of turkey/cheese and PBJ. Cut the crusts off or do them on sliders… make ‘em fancy lol.

Nancy’s mini quiches are always good. No bad time for a mini quiche.

German potatoes salad.

Quiche is eggs. I absolutely would not. Do you have a cooler? Even if you don’t, freeze some water bottles tonight and put them in the insulated bag with whatever you decide to bring.

Can you take cold foods in a cooler? I wouldn’t want to eat many things that had been sitting in the heat for 2 hours, especially something made with eggs.

Maybe you could have pizza delivered or pick up something from a store/restaurant nearby at the end of the game.
If it’s a potluck, you could take baked goods or fruit. Watermelon is always popular.

Pasta salad with Italian-type dressing.

I’m getting together with my cousin's family tomorrow for a picnic. Our kids will be having a little game time from 10-12 and we’ll eat at 12.

What food can I take that will stay good in the heat? I had been thinking summer rolls (or spring rolls or whatever you call them), but I’m not sure those will be good sitting for the two hours plus the drive time - wouldn’t the rice paper get too sticky?

What about quiche? Will it go bad in the sun for two hours?

Any other ideas? There will be six kids ages 4-11.

Thank you for your suggestions!
