Muffuletta sandwiches - they actually taste better after they've had a few hours (or a day) to sit.

Sides - potato chips, grapes, sliced veggies, dark chocolate or chocolate covered almonds

+1. Or sandwiches. So tired of all these charcuterie board spreads.

Fried chicken

Homemade chicken tenders then roll them up in foil to keep warm for transport. Take honey mustard for dipping. Make to green salads in portable bowls. Brownies for dessert.

Fruits
Cracker and cheese
Olives
Prosciutto

Some sort of dessert you can eat with hands. I usually just grab something fun from Trader Joe’s.

Ew not potato salad in the heat!!

We just get sub sandwiches and fun snacks.

Anyone have any new menu ideas for picnics at Wolf Trap? I'm not a cook/baker but to sure with my personal chef. Going to a concert soon.

Quiche or mini-quiches
grapes
chevre (or if you must, brie), roasted red peppers, and water crackers
Sauvignon blanc or Pinot Blanc
nuts
A little dark chocolate to end with

This. Get a GOOD baguette. Crackers. 2-3 good cheese. Olives. Some sliced salami or ham if you'd like. Berries. Good dark chocolate. Maybe some fig spread to go with the cheese.

If it were me, I would go to Cheesetique and get their pimento spread. Amazing.

It's your best friend-- just do something chill and have fun

So, in a moment of weakness I magnanimously offered to provide the picnic for a concert at Wolf Trap this week. It's only me and my best friend from college who happens to be a great cook. She's super busy at work so I wanted to take the food pressure off. So, here I am wondering what the hell to make that's super easy and can be served cold or luke warm. Any ideas from the creative chefs out there?
TIA
