You can find picnic recipes galore online, but who wants to bother with that? You want a day off just like everyone else this holiday. Here’s what to do…
Take your crew to your favorite market, and go directly to the prepared-food section. Let each person pick out his or her own prepackaged meal. Or buy a bucket of fried chicken…or if it’s just you big kids, get a bottle of chilled wine, a rotisserie chicken (or two) and your favorite sides prepared from the deli. Don’t forget the Handy Wipes!
If you are going to picnic in an area where there are wildflowers growing (and you’re allowed to pick them!), bring along an empty coffee can or a jar. Once you get to the picnic grounds, pick some flowers, put them in the coffee can and fill the can with water…or sand…or soil…or pebbles. Then put the floral arrangement on your picnic spot or blanket for all to enjoy nature’s beauty. If you are going where there are picnic tables, bring a decorative plastic table cloth to keep things tidy. Happy Fourth of July!
