Prepare Your Own Bistro Snack Box
No need to make a whole cheese over lunch when you can have a French picnic! Make your own on-the-go fromage Snack Attack Pack with our quick guide. This snack pack theme is a great concept to use for creating multiple lunches without repeat. We know how difficult it can be to navigate a menu or plan your own, take it easy on yourself and enjoy the foods you like with our French Picnic suggestions.
Mix and match to create your menu:
- Crackers & Cheese
- Cucumbers
- Sandwich Kabobs
- Pickles
- Fruit – Grapes/Berries/Oranges
Ingredients
- Gherkins
- Spreadable Cheese Wedge
- Crackers
- Brie
- Olives
- Grapes
- Cherry Tomatoes
- Berries
- Clementine, peeled
- Cucumbers. peeled and sliced
- Sandwich Meat
Will it last? Put down the pastry and grab some berries for your box. Anything too complex may spoil and the beauty of making these in advance is buying time for your future self. Make sure to package up crackers in baggies and secure items using cups to help keep everything fresh and safe for transport. Think about things that will travel well or last in the fridge. This is an easy theme to remix for a week’s worth of lunches using the ingredients interchangeably to pack up days worth of food in less than an hour from the same grocery list or using staple items that you already have on hand.
Are you standing in the butcher section looking at expensive cheeses? Grab a sample and head to the dairy section to look for the cheese blocks. It’s easy to cut chunk cheese into cubes and it’s much less expensive. We recommend the white cheddar for this box if you go that route! Think about items that may not be placed together but could be a much more affordable alternative. Master the grocery store and begin to create a well stocked pantry while staying on budget. Hors d’oeuvres don’t have to be expensive. Got a coupon for cheese sticks? Great! Be flexible with your plan so you can find the best deals for your packs, especially when you’re on a budget.
When life is ventre à terre, remember to take care of yourself….Adulting is hard, snacking shouldn’t be.
