Easter picnic with the kids: what to cook to make them happy? Many simple ideas to prepare for a menu to be consumed in the open air loved by children and parents
It is one of the moments you give children expect with more trepidation, often more than Easter same! What are we talking about? Of the Easter Monday picnic! The chance to spend a day outdoors, rolling on the lawn, in contact with the nature, participate in the egg hunt and, above all, to eat many good things that they like, makes this moment one of the most loved by the little ones.
What does the Easter Monday picnic have to do for children?
Let's start with the idea of preparing a menu complete with street food, comfortable to eat on the lawn and more fancy for children who can consume it outdoors. Remember that, at least for a day, they can forget how to use fork and knife. Only paper plates and napkins will be needed: the idea is to focus on the content rather than the container!
Appetizers for Easter Monday picnic for children
An idea for the appetizer could be to make delicious ones supplì stuffed with rice and accompany them to one rustic pie with spinach and potatoes, hearty and tasty. The supplì will be excellent also cold and the rustic cake you can also prepare it the day before. Optimize times and spaces is the best way, in fact, to spend a day of Pasquetta in joy and without stress. If you are lovers of tradition on your picnic table you can't miss the famous one casatiello Neapolitan: the recipe is simple, the preparation a little long, but if you have time and desire, it is the right time to try it.
First courses for Easter Monday picnic
There is no better time for the baked pasta. Easy to prepare, perfect to enjoy even a little time after having done it and great for making children happy. You can indulge yourself and cook what you like best, perhaps with what you have at home and it is advanced from Easter's menu. Let's start with that classical, that of the grandmother so to speak, with the bechamel and the melted cheese. One of the most loved, always, for the palate and the eyes of the little ones is the one with the rings, the sauce and sausage, a typical Sicilian recipe that is quick to prepare and simply delicious. If you feel like cannelloni, the classic ones with the sauce and the meat will be perfect for your Easter menu, but if you are (and above all your children are) fans of the lasagna, prepare those with the classic Bolognese recipe and you'll never go wrong.
You can do without the second
After a binge of delicious appetizers and baked pasta you can safely do without second. Consider that the boys will not want to spend the whole day eating and will rather want to run with friends. They will still have enough strength to end the day of outdoor games, also because the most awaited moment is coming for them: the sweet!
Desserts for Easter Monday's picnic with the children
At Easter and Easter Monday there is only one dessert, at least among the little ones: the chocolate! If you don't have time and want to think about the dessert, just pack all the chocolate of the eggs open the day before and take it to the park, you will make the children happy and you will not be stressed. If instead you want to try some recipes even for the dessert to take to the picnic, our advice is to recycle the advanced chocolate anyway, you will consume it first and you will avoid finding it at home until the end of May! This is an excellent idea to use the chocolate of Easter eggs cake with vanilla and cinnamon, simple to prepare and very good, or a fantastic one mousse or gods Brownies to accompany pineapple to also consume some fruit.
