13+ Perfect Picnic Food Ideas Everyone will Love

It’s spring and what is the perfect thing to do in the springtime? Go on a picnic, of course! We love to get outside for breaks and fresh air, which makes a picnic at the park a perfect afternoon lunch break. The thing is, every year I find myself scrounging for things to throw in a cute cooler for the kids and me to eat. This year I am more prepared, especially now that I’ve started our weekly meal planning. If you aren’t a planner, I can totally relate. That’s okay though. I’ve got all of us covered this season with some fabulous picnic food ideas. Yay!
