Quick & Easy

A simple, tasty solution for dinner or add scrambled eggs for a hearty breakfast.

A stir-fry dish that's easy to make over the campfire.  To speed up the cooking time, use pre-cooked chicken slices and pre-steamed or frozen vegetables.  And if you prefer leave out the chicken for a vegetarian dish.

A three-bean salad made with edamame, buttery young soybeans.  Can be made a day in advance.  Adjust onion to taste.

A true southern favorite.  Black-eyed peas flaovired with smokey ham and garlic.  Yum.

Always a hit - yummy garlic mashed potatoes.

Awesome pizza-like panini that everyone will love. Add peppered bacon for a grown-up BLT - the lettuce is replaced with basil.

Delicious potatoes that you can make on the grill or over the campfire.  Use small potatoes cut to the same size.  *For a very festive side dish mix in red potatoes, blues, Yukon golds and purple fingerling potatoes.

These are sooo good and easy.  make extra for home fries @ breakfast.

Egg salad on a toasted hoagie roll - yum.

Fast, easy and healthy.  Great as an appetizer or on top of a salad.

Finish off your delicious picnic meal with a sweet treat. Sometimes the simplest dessert can be the best, and for a picnic, simple is generally the best way to pack your basket. One of my favorite sweet treats is graham cracker and chocolate frosting sandwiches. All you need is a box of graham crackers and some frosting. You can use purchased frosting or you can make it yourself at home and bring it with you

Fun easy finger food.  Great for a starter or top a salad for a full light summer supper.

Fun for the 4th of July but great any time.  Super easy, using bottled dressing and pre-packaged slaw.  You can make it all from scratch - but why?  When this is so good and soooo easy.

Great dish for potlucks and family get-togethers. Easy, fun jello salad. Make this once and they'll ask you to bring it every time!
