a day at the beach...

Yesterday we decided it would be great day to spend at the beach.  The beach we were going to is pretty isolated, so we needed to pack lunches.  Clara and I decided that it was the perfect opportunity to try out a recipe we had pinned on pinterest... antipasto kabobs by The Hungry Housewife.  We modified them a bit.  We're a family that doesn't do too well when we have too much dairy, so we left off the mozzarella balls and I also forgot to buy black olives, so those are missing as well. 

We put them on a bed of baby lettuce and added some fruit (grapes, blueberries and blackberries) and crackers (Triscuit Cracked Black Pepper and Olive Oil).  

A perfect lunch for a day at the beach...

The kabobs were easy to eat...

And pretty tasty as well!  I would definitely make them again for lunches.  I just think I need to find a zestier dressing.  The dressing I picked out to marinate the tortellini in just didn't have quite enough zip.

I love packing our lunches in our EasyLunchboxes.... made the whole lunch process a breeze!!
