There is no way that it's September already. It has been a wonderful, busy, warm, sunny but too short summer. The transition to fall is beginning. But before that starts, let's celebrate Labor Day with a simple and delicious picnic menu that's easy and pretty much fuss free.
• Pulled chicken sliders with homemade barbecue sauce
• Store-bought coleslaw and dressing for topping the chicken
• Barb's Potato Salad (if you're feeling ambitious)
• Baked beans
• Brownies – store-bought or homemade
• Ice cream with cones or toppings to make sundaes
• Slices of cantaloupe and watermelon
• Anything else that doesn't require a lot or prep
And there you have it, a no fuss picnic. Enjoy!
