Elevate your Picnic
Let’s be honest, if you live in Arizona, you have to take full advantage of the spring weather before the hot temperatures are here to stay.
Enjoying a picnic is a great way to enjoy the season. It’s a fun way to entertain and you can serve a simple menu that will keep everyone happy.
Prep
Remember to keep things simple when it comes to planning a picnic. It’s not worth stressing about. When determining your location, decide whether you would like to be at a public park that has a ramada with tables to rent or are you up for an adventure and would like to have your picnic during a hike or desert ride? Wherever you decide, will help you decide on the menu and how simple you would like to keep things.
Menu
Planning a meal that will appeal to people of all ages is doable. Check out a list of recommended dishes that will work well for outdoor entertaining.
A cheese must is a crowd pleaser. Check out the board creation by What’s Gabby Cooking . You can put it together in 15 minutes.
A pasta salad and a fruit salad are great to serve. It can be made ahead of time and is another quick dish to put together.
Keep things simple with a Build-Your-Own-Sandwich bar or make these delicious chickpea salad sandwiches.
For dessert make something that is easy to transport, like these brownie bars!
Don’t forget beverages! Cool drinks on ice. Sangria is a great option and so is lemonade.
Entertain
Enjoy the gathering! Relax and have fun with your friends. I would bring a few blankets for seating and lawn games for your guests to enjoy. A few favorites games are a giant Jenga set, a lawn bowling set and this 2-in-1 Checkers /Tic-Tac-Toe set.
Get our your calendar and plan your next picnic. You’ll have a great time entertaining!
