Who doesn’t like a nice picnic on long summer days?

We all know how to make a sandwich but there is a lot more that you can bring to a picnic that store bought snacks or sandwiches.

Baked pies, empanadas, easy but special dips, fresh salads and amazing desserts.

If you need inspiration for picnic ideas that are not a classic recipes, this is the place to be.

Baked goods

Quiche is always a great idea and if it is this healthy version even better, you can bake it or cook it on the slow cooker, both option are great for a picnic. Do you maybe prefer some savoury muffins with sun-dried tomatoes and olives? Always a great idea.
