Lots of fun, with a bit of planning and preparation. Depending on your plan, the interaction may begin in the kitchen, with some of the participants assisting in the preparation, or it may begin when everyone helps themselves to build their own meal. Either way, you&#8217;ll need lots of containers and some imagination. <\/p>\n<p>The idea is to bring many containers of ready-to-eat ingredients. The containers may be placed in the center of a picnic blanket or on an outdoor table. Participants may pass the containers around, or they may circulate around the containers, depending on your setup. It&#8217;s a great way for everyone to interact and to have their meal exactly as they like.<\/p>\n<p>Nancy then shares these ideas:<br \/>\nBuild-Your-Own Burrito or Wrap<br \/>\nBuild-Your-Own Salad Entr\u00e9e<br \/>\nBuild-Your-Own Gazpacho<br \/>\nStuffed Produce<br \/>\nCold Pizza<br \/>\nFruit or Vegetable Sushi<br \/>\nBuild-Your-Own Dessert<\/p>\n<p>Read the entire column here:<br \/>\n<a href=\"https:\/\/www.vrg.org\/journal\/vj2018issue2\/2018_issue2_cooking_tips.php\">https:\/\/www.vrg.org\/journal\/vj2018issue2\/2018_issue2_cooking_tips.php<\/a> <\/p>\n<p>To subscribe to Vegetarian Journal, visit:<br \/>\n<a href=\"https:\/\/www.vrg.org\/member\/2013sv.php\">Subscribe to Vegetarian Journal<\/a><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>How fun is an interactive buffet during warm months?
