Malibu Sandwich

The "Malibu Sandwich" is super easy to make and travels really well. I had been trying to come up with a lunch to pack for my family at the beach that would be yummy and easy to eat, knowing there is sand everywhere.

It was summer time in Malibu and we were planning on having a picnic lunch at the beach.

My son's Davis and Skyler were toddlers at the time and I was trying to come up with a lunch to pack for them that would be yummy and easy to eat at the beach knowing there is sand everywhere!

For my husband and I, I made one of my favorite sandwiches, a good piece of artisanal cheese on a fresh baguette with tomato, basil and olive oil or I call it a "Malibu Sandwich". This sandwich is super easy to make and travels really well. It's also just as tasty a few hours after you've made it which makes it a great choice for a picnic sandwich. I'm using goat cheese but this sandwich would also be delicious with a brie or any good piece of cheese that you fancy.

When packing a lunch be sure to pack ice packs to keep your food cool. Food left in warm temperatures can spoil very quickly.

I hope you enjoy a day at the beach, park or backyard this summer with a delicious home made picnic lunch. Please visit me at www.TamraDavisCookingShow.com for more recipes and shows.
