Picnics are a time-honored tradition when it comes to leisurely days spent out in the park. And when thinking about a picnic lunch in the park, the first thing that probably comes to mind is the picnic basket. There are so many different picnic baskets to choose from, new varieties, colors, and even themed baskets. But then after you’ve chosen your basket, you have to decide what to fill it with which is sometimes the most challenging part. Here are some ideas to help you pack your picnic baskets.
It’s best to pick foods that travel and store well when picnicking. If you are not going far with your picnic, then you can bring perishable items in a cooler. Fried chicken with biscuits and apples is certainly a traditional picnic favorite. You can try baked chicken with a cracker crumb crust for a healthier alternative. Some other choices for your picnic baskets are individually wrapped sandwiches. This is a great option for a large group and easy to modify to the tastes of the people you will be picnicking with.
