"Today, a reader needs our help with guy-friendly picnic foods. Any ideas?Here&amp;#x27;s our reader&amp;#x27;s question: &amp;quot;My boyfriend and I have been dating for almost four years, and I&amp;#x27;m planning to take him on an anniversary picnic. But I don&amp;#x27;t know what kind of food to bring to the picnic! Do you have any picnic ideas or recipes, so I could surprise him? I&amp;#x27;d like to serve especially thoughtful foods, because I won&amp;#x27;t be able to afford another present!&amp;quot; Here&amp;#x27;s my answer: Oooh, a fall picnic! How romantic. For recipes, New York Times food writer Mark Bittman wrote an article with 101 genius (and easy) picnic recipes -- I&amp;#x27;ve made a few of them before, and they&amp;#x27;re amaaaaazing and super flavorful. If you want something easier, you could always stick with classic picnic favorites. I asked my husband (who loves traditional &amp;quot;guy&amp;quot; foods) and he recommended salami, grapes, good cheeses and a baguette. Yum! If the weather is extra chilly, you could always surprise your boyfriend with a thermos of hot cocoa. And, finally, you could throw in a couple of his favorite foods as a sweet surprise--like briny pickles or peanut-butter M&amp;amp;Ms. Most of all, just bring yourself! He&amp;#x27;ll love to go on a picnic with the girl he loves, and I&amp;#x27;m sure he&amp;#x27;ll be thrilled no matter what snacks you bring along! xoxo Dear readers, any great ideas?! I know some of you are awesome foodies, and we&amp;#x27;d love to hear your thoughts! P.S. A handy picnic checklist, and lots of cheap date ideas. P.P.S. Facebook Connect is here!
