Any ideas on what to pack for a picnic lunch?

Question

I'm looking for simple but yummy things- I like to cook, but we're going tomorrow, so I don't have a lot of time... thanks~

Answer 1

I like to make traditional sandwiches, but jazz them up by making them in wrap form. Chicken, tuna, or egg salad, deli meat, even peanut butter and jelly seems special in a wrap. You can use soft tortillas, pita bread, or actual flatbread. Also, cubed meat and cheese with crackers is easy, keeps well, and whenever I take it on a picnic or field trip with my kids, the other kids are jealous and beg for some! Of course cut fresh fruit and veggies is a good option on the side.

Answer 2

If you want to eat truly healthy, lose body fat consistently, normalize your blood pressure, cholesterol levels, prevent cancer, and even boost your brain health and energy levels, you may have heard all over the news that the Paleo Diet has been found to be one of the best methods of achieving all of these benefits compared to any other popular "fad" diets out there.

The truth is that the Paleo Diet will never be considered a fad because it's just simply the way that humans evolved to eat over approximately 2 million years. And eating in a similar fashion to our ancestors has been proven time and time again to offer amazing health benefits, including prevention of most diseases of civilization such as cancer, heart disease, alzheimers, and other chronic conditions that are mostly caused by poor diet and lifestyle. One of the biggest misunderstandings about the Paleo Diet is that it's a meat-eating diet, or a super low-carb diet. This is not true

Answer 3

Prepare the fixings in advance and put them either in plastic baggies or in small plastic containers.

Sandwiches - use the Tumaro's tortilla chipotle wraps. Inside goes:
some mayo
some chipotle mustard
smoked turkey
cheese - organic if you can find it
live lettuce - it's awesome
red onion
sliced tomato

Assemble them by wrapping. Much more flavorful than bread.

These are my fav sandwiches and we make them often.

Bring along some cut up fresh fruits and some dark russet Cape Cod chips.

Answer 4

You can eat these hot warm or cold, and some tomato sauce is wonderful

Sausage Rolls.
Flaky or Short Pastry.
450 g tube of Sausage Meat.
Diced Onion.
Mix sausage meat and onion with about ½ cup of water.

Take one sheet of pastry and lay on the filling in the centre third.
Fold one side over and brush the other with water and press on top.
Turn over and cut into rolls 3’’ long or cut into 3 or 4.
Make 3 cuts on top of each roll and place on an ungreased baking sheet.
Brush with milk and bake about 30 minutes at 215C (425F), in a pre-heated oven.
