🏖️10 Easy Dinners on the Go (Because Summer Doesn’t Slow Down)

The Beige Plate Club Issue #28

You know the scene: The kids are still wet from the sprinkler, you’ve lost track of time chatting with another parent at the park, and suddenly everyone’s hangry and asking what’s for dinner. But wait… wasn’t it just snack time?

Summer is a beautiful kind of chaos. It's longer evenings, sunscreen-smeared cheeks, last-minute plans, and the best kind of tired. It also means routines can go out the window, especially mealtime. And while you could hit the drive-thru or cobble together crackers and cheese from the bottom of your bag, there’s another option.

These 10 “dinner on the go” ideas are here to save your summer sanity. They’re meals you can prep ahead (or pull together fast), toss in a cooler, and eat wherever the night takes you. On the sidelines, at the splash pad, or in your own backyard.
