fun food friday: sandcastle at the beach

This one didn't turn out quite as I had envisioned it would. I thought a sandcastle made out of a tortilla was brilliant and makes a great summer lunch. It just didn't turn out exactly like I thought it would. I kind of burned the sandcastle quesadilla which didn't help the matter either. The kids still thought this lunch was pretty fun. They absolutely love quesadillas so they had no problems eating it. It was a very simple lunch to make. Here's how I made it:

sandcastle cheese quesadilla - take 2 white tortillas and using clean scissors, cut into a sandcastle shape. Tortillas are incredibly easy to cut into any shape with scissors. There are so many possibilities! Place some cheese between your tortilla shapes (or anything else you want - I often add chicken, tomatoes, etc) and grill until lightly browned and cheese is melted - not burned like mine!

blueberry water with a few goldfish and an orange sun.

Have a great weekend everyone!
