If you have a back porch or a backyard, lay down a blanket and consider it your dining room. Alternatively, head to your local park and do the same. The “where to dine” is the easy part. The bigger question is, what to cook? Below you’ll find five supper recipes and one bang-up dessert that are highly portable and picnic-friendly. We’ve included a picnic classic, fried chicken, as well as a few items that are a little lighter and refreshing. Gazpacho, salads, and sandwiches are sure to be family crowd pleasers. Get a bottle of wine or quart of lemonade on ice, gather your goodies, and get outside.
