Picnic Planning

Pack some homemade soup in a thermos. First, fill the thermos with hot water and let it sit for a few minutes. Then dump it out and refill with your hot soup.

Help your homemade pie travel well by putting an aluminum pie plate upside down over the top. Use a few rubber bands to hold it in place.

If you want to serve hot dogs but don't want to grill them, heat them up at home, then place in a thermos of hot water. They'll be plenty warm at lunchtime. (This works for school lunches, too!)

Pack dishes with lots of liquid in resealable plastic bags and bring a serving dish for dishing them up. The bags will take less room in the cooler and won't spill.

If you're bringing a salad, pack the dressing in a small jar and toss at the picnic.
Pack deviled eggs in a mini cupcake papers or a tin to keep them from getting messed up.

Don't forget to bring something to clean up with if you won't be near running water.
