Anniversary Picnic Ideas...Tonight...Help

autbot74

So we are celebrating 13 years tonight with our 7 year old daughter with a picnic & concert in a local park tonight. we went to vegas for 3 nights 2 weeks ago ;-)

I need help!

I don't have tons of time to make recipes after work, but do have time for a trip to the store.

What are low-fat romantic foods?

I've been doing soooo good I don't want to blow my progress.

Champers
Rough oat cakes with extra light philladelphia smocked salmon and prawns.
Rice cakes, carrot and celery with low fat dips
Chicken scewers

Strawberries and blueberries
Low fat creme fraiche/yoghurt
Fresh fruit salad

Three bean salad
Low fat crisps

I hope this helps!

My husband and I love this. It's really simple, the only cooking involved is to grill the chicken. I used red wine vinegar instead of rice wine and instead of buying fresh mint, I just picked up some from the seasonings aisle. Happy Anniversary!

Go to a store that has an awesome deli (Whole Foods?) and pick up salads, and perhaps a rotisserie chicken. Tabouleh, bean salad.... oh my, now I want to do this for lunch!
