pjena Posted June 3, 2013 Share Posted June 3, 2013 Hi - I have two busy boys and we are often short on time at night. We do a lot of picnics at the soccer field in the summer. I try to pack them up in the morning so that when I get home from work, we can go right away. Any ideas to replace the sandwiches? The food will be in the fridge all day, so no worries there. Thanks!

Guest Posted June 3, 2013 Share Posted June 3, 2013 The Whole30 Facebook page has some fun ideas. One recent one was a cucumber "sandwich". The cucumber was hollowed out and filled with the sandwich ingredients. I'd fill mine with tuna salad or chicken salad. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Laststraw Posted June 3, 2013 Share Posted June 3, 2013 Butter lettuce wraps w/ tuna, chicken, or compliant lunch meat. I also make a lot of shrimp tacos using butter lettuce, cold cooked shrimp and guac or salsa. Make a beef roast using this http://thedomesticman.com/2012/01/10/perfect-eye-of-round-roast/#more-2017, cut thinly and use the meat to wrap up sliced tomatoes or green onions w/ goof brown mustard. Ceviche or egg salad w/ veggie sticks w/ fruit. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
bkbk Posted June 3, 2013 Share Posted June 3, 2013 My go-to picnic solution is roasted chicken, taken off the bone and with the skin and chunks of fat removed. Or I suppose you could go the easy route with roasted chicken breast. The point for me is that I don't want the fat or skin if I am eating it cold. Then i pack baby carrots, sugar snap peas, cucumbers with a dip like the Sunshine Sauce from Well-Fed. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dawn Mason Posted June 4, 2013 Share Posted June 4, 2013 I did a tapas thing the other day which would make for good picnic food. - http://forum.whole9life.com/topic/10450-tapas/ I used the same ideas for a picnic the other and also made a potato salad made with sweet potato, bacon, red onion and olive oil mayo. - http://startingoverwithfood.blogspot.co.uk/2013/06/day-24.html Tuna salad rolled up in lettuce leaves. Ham roll ups with cucumber, peppers, onion in the middle work really well too. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

moggle Posted June 5, 2013 Share Posted June 5, 2013 How about chicken breast strips/chunks in some kind of coating - mexican, moroccan, etc. Cook and then cool and refrigerate the chicken chunks & eat from a small container with a fork (I do this for work lunches sometimes) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
