What To Pack For Picnic Brunch?
How dreamy does a picnic brunch at the beach with your besties sound? Showing up for brunch is easy. What to bring for the brunch, now that’s a hardy thing for many. Attending a brunch should be more fun with less fuss, when you get it right on what to pack for the killer brunch.
The key to a successful brunch is a little bit of planning and creativity. The best part about planning what to bring for a brunch is that it can be as simple or as extravagant as you wish. The idea is to start with preparation. The trick is to get yourself out of the kitchen and into the action as much as possible. To that end, pre-prep as much of your brunch as you possibly can. Choose what to buy and what you can whip up in advance.
PACKING
The key is to pack light and to know how to pack. If you have a lot to take (cameras, plates, props, blankets) I suggest you buy one of the picnic baskets that come with accessories that way you can fit your food (and maybe your blanket) in there and have another wicker bag for everything else you need (trays, cameras, props, etc). Reusable containers make it easy to pack, store, and clean up. Food safety should also be front of mind. Some dishes might be okay to pack in a basket while others will require refrigeration and should be stored in a cooler or with ice packs to prevent the food from spoiling.
MENU
After you’ve gathered your basic picnic supplies it’s time to begin thinking about the menu. Sandwiches, pasta salads, chips, and fresh fruits are all popular picnic options. But don’t be afraid to think outside of the box while planning your menu, picnics can be a perfect excuse to try out new recipes to surprise your friends. Be sure to keep convenience in mind while picking what to bring to your picnic brunch.
FOOD
There is a plethora of options to go with when options are kept open. When going for baking options, cinnamon rolls, French Toasts, Banana Bread, Best Carrot Cake, Vegan French Toast, Mini muffins or scones, mini bagel with cream cheese, Croissants, Baked Oatmeal with Blueberries and Muffins are a perfect option. Quick fix dishes like your favorite Banana Pancakes, Chicken Sandwich, Cucumber Sandwiches or a tuna melt is a viable way to go with.
