Picnic Fare
These two recipes from American Profile readers are great make-ahead and take-along dishes
Gail Van Osdell of St. Charles, Ill., sent us her recipe for Italian-Style Baked Beans. “This recipe has been in our family for many years,” Osdell says. “It is a dish that can be served with almost any meat. We like it as a side dish when grilling outside.” Blueberry Jell-O Salad is another great picnic offering. “This recipe was used by my mom every holiday meal,” says Michelle Fyfe of Mesa, Ariz. “This is one leftover you never get tired of eating.”
