What's New Summer 2015

Time for a Picnic!

At Nana's home in Northern California it's summer time, which is when we celebrate Independence Day. This is the time of year that's perfect for outdoor picnics and BBQs — by a lake, at a park, or any other special place.

This month we've assembled a selection of recipes perfect for any casual outdoor event. Included is a delicious Apple Pie — what could be more American! We invite you to pick and choose from the list to prepare a picnic lunch, or dinner, for those special to you — whereever in the world you live.

Picnic Recipe Ideas
Three Bean Salsa	Shrimp Dip
Snickerdoodle Cookies	Apple Pie
Lime Parfait Pie	Potato Salad
Batter Dipped Chicken	Macaroni Shrimp Salad

Food Safety Note: Some picnic foods are perishable. Be particularly careful with ingredients that spoil
quickly (for example: mayonnaise). To be safe, put everything in a cooler with lots of ice.
