Packing up the kids (and their sunscreen and shoes and hats and toys ...) is the easy part. Figuring out what to pack in the picnic basket is where things get tricky. Let our fun, creative picnic foods inspire you to higher heights than coleslaw.
- Thinly sliced grilled steak. Eat it cold or toss it on bread for steak sandwiches.

- Chips and homemade guacamole.
- Cold fried chicken.
- Sofia Minis—tiny bottles of champagne that come with their own mini-straws (for grown-ups only, of course!).
