Cookout and Picnic Recipes

Make the most of a gorgeous day by dining alfresco. We have a range of great picnic food recipes, from easy-to-pack entrées to portable sides and sweets. Celebrate any occasion with a picnic, from graduation to Labor Day. If there's a grill at the park or beach you're heading to, consider our BBQ options for picnic foods, or if there's a hungry crowd waiting, take a look at these potluck recipes. Don't forget to have plenty of s'mores available, whether you make them ahead or by the fire. Need help packing up all the picnic foods? Check out How to Pack a Picnic.
