Now that the weather has gotten much warmer, we're feeling the summer bug biting. This means cool refreshing salads and simple sides. We had a fantastic meal with wonderful friends tonight and one of our favorite things was eating outside. Something about a great meal with great friends in the fresh air makes any stress of the day just melt away.
This made Molly decide that she wants to go summery for her lunch. We were happy to oblige!
Our main entrée is a "big plain salad" per Molly's request. She's so funny when she wants something. Her eyes get wide and she can't come up with the words fast enough. Our salad (romaine lettuce) is being served with light Catalina salad dressing. We also added a few yellow tomatoes because Molly really likes them and she said it would be okay.
Our fruit side (since our main entrée is also our vegetable) is mixed berries. We brought these to our friends' house as a topping to some vanilla pudding. There were just enough left over to toss into Molly's lunch.
Our grain/dairy side is cheese toast. We added some shredded cheddar cheese to a flat bread and melted it in the toaster oven. When it cooled, we cut it into manageable pieces. We also added a string cheese on the side for some extra protein.
Finally, our fun Friday treat is two rolls of Smarties. There wasn't enough room for anything else. ☺
