Summer picnic season is still in full swing. There are several “picnic” staples that bring back childhood memories for me. Watermelon, cherries right off the tree, Grandma’s fresh peach pie, and the perfectly grilled burger with vine ripe tomatoes from the garden. There was always one dish that made it to every picnic, campout and poolside outing. . .Grandma’s baked beans. This is my version. Give it a try and see if it becomes one of your picnic staples!
