We are all excited for the Memorial Day weekend to arrive and the fun picnics that go with it. Our family is having a get together with our neighbors and we can't wait. We were all together this past weekend and talking about the dishes that we would contribute to the picnic. Our mouths were watering just thinking about all of the yummy things that we'd be having. Then, our minds were full of excitement with the prospect of summer being around the corner and impromptu picnics together on random days.
This got me thinking about things to make for Molly's lunch. We're back into the time when cold salads and cool desserts are on the docket for just about every meal.
Our main entrée is cheese tortellini pasta salad. We made this tortellini for Molly's brother and sister for lunch today and reserved some for Molly's lunch tomorrow. We added some of Molly's "favorite sauce", light Italian dressing and just let the simplicity take over.
Our vegetable side is a repeat from today. Cucumber sticks. Molly requested theses because she said that she could dip them in any remaining dressing left in the tortellini dish.
Our fruit side is also a repeat from today. Molly got the last of the blackberries and some strawberries. She washed these herself and arranged them in the container.
Finally, our dairy/dessert is our favorite Dannon Light and Fit vanilla yogurt. Molly requested this so that she can add some of the berries to it. She also was the one who put it in the container. She likes to help make her lunch. ☺
