Mother's Day is quickly arriving and many families are trying to plan the perfect Mother's Day celebration. Why not plan a picnic?

Best Foods for a Mother's Day Picnic Idea No.1


Why not give mom the day off from cooking and go to KFC. Kentucky Fried Chicken is a favorite among many families. With KFC supplying the plates, napkins and forks mom and dad would have very little picnic preparation. With the variety bucket the customer can choose 3 of the 6 KFC favorites. Another great selection would be the variety big box meal. With 3 types of delicious KFC chicken, 2 individual sides and 2 biscuits this meal can satisfy even the biggest appetite and it includes a 32 oz. drink. Trying to save on money? Order several of these with extra plates and divide them up among the family members with smaller appetites. Take along a trash bag and some outdoor activities such as a Frisbee or bad mitten set and you'll have the makings of a wonderful carefree mother's day picnic to celebrate mom. Don't forget the camera.
