Family Picnic Food

| February 3, 2013

We love to have picnics regularly throughout the year. There’s something magical about eating outdoors enjoying good food with family and friends, differing vistas and fresh air.

We eat picnics in the garden, at the beach, in the forest, in the park and on our balcony in the city of London. When it’s too cold to be sitting outside to eat we have been known to get a rug out and have a picnic on the floor of our apartment, with the company of our cats Louis and Mia who will nibble at any leftover cheese.

My favourite foods for simple baby and toddler family friendly picnics are:

  • Boiled eggs
  • Cheese sandwiches
  • Tomatoes
  • Avocado
  • Crackers
  • Potato salad
  • Mixed bean salad
  • Pasta salad
  • Bananas
  • Fruit Salad with strawberries, nectarines, blueberries, peaches, oranges

Don’t forget a large picnic rug, some picnicware and baby sun cream.
