Picnic Platters the Whole Family Will Love BY JEN KOSSOWAN The days are getting longer, the temperatures are getting warmer, and best of all—picnic season is officially here! I think many of us are itching to spend as much time outdoors as possible right now, and packing a picnic to take along means that you can stay at the park, playground, or beach for hours! The best kinds of picnics, in my opinion? The ones that require zero actual cooking, involve minimal prep, and make the whole family happy. And better yet? Ones that don’t require utensils! If you’ve not already converted to platter-style picnics, you must. A big divided container with a snap-on lid is a total game changer. You prep everything at home, stick to finger foods mostly, fill the container to the brim, pop the lid on, and you’re ready to go! One container (and maybe a spoon), and done.
