Hy-Vee Recipes and Ideas

Make your picnic last longer with comfy chairs. In addition to outdoor furniture, Hy-Vee sells folding lawn chairs and portable camper chairs—with built-in beverage holders!

Arm yourself for insects. Hy-Vee has what you need to ward off mosquitoes, gnats, flies and more. Get patriotic with a mason jar torch.

Make the main course sizzle — literally — with a grill from Hy-Vee. Then cap off the picnic by roasting marshmallows for s’mores.

Go ahead, serve those drinks right out of a can or bottle. These beverage holders make it their patriotic duty to keep drinks cold (and hands from getting that way).

To ensure beer, soda and other beverages are ice cold and conveniently handy, find the right cooler and plenty of ice at Hy-Vee.

Add a patriotic flare with marshmallow pops! Dip 1⁄3 of a Hy-Vee marshmallow into a shallow dish of Hy-Vee light corn syrup, then into red sugar crystals; let dry. Insert a Hy-Vee pretzel stick into red end, then dip bottom end into corn syrup and blue sugar crystals; let dry.

Decorate a popcorn box (available at Hy-Vee) with a blue band and white star made from construction paper. Fill box with red, white and blue M&M’s, then insert cherry and grape Tootsie Roll Pops.

Hy-Vee has the most popular brands and the latest flavors of hard seltzer and hard lemonade.

Hy-Vee offers a variety of ready-to-grill kabobs including chicken, beef and seafood. Simply fire up the grill on medium heat and grill 15 to 20 minutes or until done, turning occasionally. Loosely cover and let rest 3 minutes before serving.

Wrap up the outing with Hy-Vee's bakery fresh gourmet cupcakes. There certainly won't be leftovers! 

(PS - Add a little flare with these sparkling cupcakes!)
