Any Ideas for Picnic Food?
I love doing picnics with friends but seem to run out of ideas for easy-to-make and transport dishes that are something other than the normal sandwich stuff. I like to do dishes that don't require a lot of fancy ingredients. Any ideas?

ALSO, I found a great picnic meal from Giada @ foodtv.com. If you search their site, you can find some suggestions. The one I liked was Penne w/ Beef & Argula. (instead of popovers, i like mini gougeres - google tartine gougere recipe & you'll find a great one!)

"And on Sunday, two friends and I had a picnic in McCarren Park to celebrate the warm weather with rosé, crackers, Italian lard bread, charcuterie (including something called "Baby Jesus salami," which was unexpectedly delicious), and cheese."

Hummus or bean dips and crudites & chips
