Our beach trip is 60something days away, and I am thinking about what we are going to eat for lunch.
Lunch should be as fuss free as possible. If we are out sightseeing, I like to take that as an opportunity to check out the local restaurant options. As a bonus, lunch menus tend to be a bit more budget friendly.
But when we are doing a full on beach day, I like to have a platter of sandwich ingredients ready so all I have to do is pull it out of the refrigerator and everyone can make their own custom sandwich.
Here is a sample lunch menu for our beach days...
Sandwiches (choice of ham, turkey or chicken) with cheese (choice of Swiss or cheddar) on bread or rolls.
Toppings: Lettuce, Tomatoes, Pickles, Mustard, Mayo
Chips
Cookies
Fruit
Veggies
Another tip I love to use at the beach is to either buy and prep a bunch of fruit and veggies so it is ready for meals or snacks or I like to buy the produce that is cut in the store. Its a little pricier, but sometimes, its worth it.
For cookies, I usually bring homemade cookie dough already portioned or I like to buy childhood favorites at the grocery store.
Something new I want to do this year is add in a cold pasta salad and a cold broccoli salad instead of a chips for a quick side dish.
Here are some recipes I want to try.
Tropical Quinoa Salad
Pesto Pasta Salad
Summer Vegetable Pasta Salad
The Best Broccoli Salad
