The three All American books sounds interesting. Especially “What is the Presidents Job?” that is a question that’s asked frequently by people of all ages.
Potato Salad and s’mores. Just having a picnic with family is the BEST!
Burgers and corn-on-the-cob!
Pasta salad! I especially love macaroni salad … it brings back wonderful memories of my mom!
Potato salad!
I love the watermelon! Would love to win these books!
I’m a watermelon lover. Just not a picnic if there isn’t watermelon on the table!!
For a fun filled picnic with family and friends,I like curried egg and avocado salad,turkey salad with beans,kale,spinach and walnuts and baked paleo chicken tenders. For dessert a delicious coconut orange date balls. Delicious and healthy foods!
The books – a fine read.
Hot dogs!
Potato salad and corn on the cob. Love the idea of turning in my crayons stubs
I usually look for the items I know I can rarely find in a store or in a food stand, so I’m running towards that roasted corn on the cob with butter and chili! Thanks for the opportunity to win these books!
My kids love to learn about presidents. For the fourth I like carne asada and cold beverages.
I am dog sitting the week of the Fourth. I like Hot Fudge Sundaes on the Fourth.
Any type of salad is perfect picnic food especially when eaten on the beach or poolside with family and friends!
