Picnic Food

My kids' school always does a back to school picnic, where you bring your own food. I have tried different things with varying success, including feeding them before we go, making something to bring, or grabbing a pizza on the way. Anyone have a great picnic dinner item that the kids can't resist or can eat on the run?

This year I don't think I'll be able to feed them before because of other activities, and my husband and I are going out to dinner after the picnic, so I am looking for something just for the kids.

  1. Toco's in a bag :) My m-I-L has done the meat in a crock pot to bring to picnics. Just keep it warm and have all the topping ready to go. I know all of your darlings liked it. My first thought was meatball/sausage wedges but I believe yours are not all fans.

  2. That is a good idea. It isn't really potluck. You just bring food for yourself and they give out water ice (sort of like Italian Ices). I always struggle with getting my kids to want to sit and eat rather than play. I wimped out and got them chick-fil-A between doctors visit and soccer practice and then let them just play and get their water ice at the picnic.

  3. Sounds like a plan that worked for all. Especially after your dr. appointments. Hope you and George had a great dinner. I need to feed mine tonight before meet the teacher - we have to be there 5:45 and there will be snacks.
