Before the summer ends, make a date with family and friends to have a picnic dinner together. Weekends can be jammed packed with things to do during the summer, so our family gets together at the local park for a picnic dinner. It’s great to enjoy the fresh air in the evening, especially if you have been in an office all day.

The effort to make a picnic dinner can be minimized if everyone brings something. Pack a blanket, a big colorful table cloth, Bocce ball, and a few candles if you decide to stay late.

 

 

 

Picnic Menu:

Honey-Mustard Grilled Chicken
Deviled Eggs
Baked Beans
Grilled Vegetables 

Honey-Mustard Grilled Chicken

4 chicken breasts
3 tablespoons honey
2 teaspoons Dijon mustard
1/4 cup teriyaki sauce
1/4 cup orange juice

To marinate the chicken breasts, put chicken, honey, mustard, teriyaki sauce, and orange juice in large zip-lock plastic bag for a minimum of 2 hours, but can be marinated as long as 24 hours. Turn the bag over a couple of times while it is marinating in the refrigerator. When ready to grill, take breasts out of bag and place over a preheated clean grill. Cook approximately 4–6 minutes for each side, depending on size of pieces, or until done.
