This is the sixth installment of our Family Picnics series. We’re adding new ideas for weekly family picnics packed with food, fun and conversation throughout the summer of 2020. Our hope is that families will find new ways to connect despite the ongoing challenges of social distancing. Rituals are important to family life now more than ever — why not make family picnics a new ritual to look forward to?
This Week’s Family Picnic Menu
This week, enjoy grilled chicken sandwiches from our book Eat, Laugh, Talk: The Family Dinner Playbook! An unusual twist on potato salad makes a great side dish. You’ll finish with a cool treat that can be eaten at home, or taken on the go for a Walking Dessert experience!

Conversation
Throughout the pandemic, it’s been tough to talk about the future because so much is still unknown. But these conversation starters could be a positive way to start thinking ahead and remind each other that there’s something beyond the here and now.
