1) The most essential part of a picnic: the picnic basket filled with plates, napkins and condiments. 2) Skip that big bag of charcoal and all that time to heat up, with a portable grill. Hotdogs and hamburgers coming right up. 3) You can’t have a picnic without comfort food. Our Creamy Potato Salad is a must-have for every outdoor event. 4) Lawn games like Bocce Ball are fun for the whole family. 5) A blanket creates a cozy ambience and reminds you to kick back and stay a while. 6) Our Egg Salad Cucumber Pitas are quick, easy and delicious. Prepare ahead of time, then fill the pitas at the picnic. 7) Thirst quenchers are a must. Sunny Picnic Punch totally hits the spot.
