One More Picnic Idea – Asian Slaw

One More Picnic Idea - Asian Slaw at ASlobComesClean.com fb

Last week we made our annual trip to Six Flags.

It was hot.

Thankfully, it was fun, too.

I love our mid-day trek to the shady picnic area that’s just outside the park.  (I also love the money we save by eating that way!)

20120722-210631.jpg

The night before, we’d had Asian Slaw for dinner.  I packaged up the leftovers by putting cabbage in one container, dressing in another, and crunchies in a bag.  We kept it in an ice-chest, combined the ingredients when it was time for lunch, and ate straight out of the containers.

(We’re fancy like that!)

We were feeling pretty smart . . . until we realized we’d forgotten to bring any forks.  Thankfully, Ritz crackers do a pretty good job as Salad Scoopers.

Our menu this week is based primarily around what we received in our Bountiful Baskets pick up this week:

20120722-213421.jpg

Monday – Grilled chicken and Zucchini Casserole (FABulous stuff!)

Tuesday – Spaghetti

Wednesday – Meatball Gyros (from Eat at Home’s Feast in 15 e-cookbook! )

Thursday – Date Night

Friday – Another Date Night (We take full advantage of Grammy taking the kiddos!)

Saturday – Grill out

Have you seen my other picnic recipes?
