Sammies

Grilled Cheese with Salsa Dippin’ Sauce

Serves 1 (kid-size serving)

This is like your traditional grilled cheese sandwich, but dipped in salsa for a little Latin twist.

Wa-s’up? Tuna Salad Pinwheels (Bento Lunch Box)

Serves 1

A bento box is a groovy set of Japanese dishes that hold all the courses in one meal in separate containers that fit inside one big box. This fun and really funky lunch is made up of two different recipes – each one is so easy, you can make it in minutes! Bring some chopsticks to eat your Bento Lunch Box with and you really will be too cool for school! Make with Cold Ginger, Soy and Honey Sesame Noodles (Bento Lunch Box). These are fun for kids of all ages, and you can get creative – feel free to swap out the tuna for some chopped chicken breasts or use deli-style turkey as well.

Peanut Butter and Jelly French Toast Sticks

Serves 2-3

This is just like your everyday PB & J, but cooked French toast style – you don’t want to miss this one! It’s a great snack, too!

Chicken Tacos

Serves 4

Jessica and her family love taco night because everyone helps out and everyone gets to make their own taco. This recipe can be made by the whole family at once!

Cool as a Cucumber Sandwich

Serves 1

We loved the name of this cool sammy that Holly sent us. It’s super easy to make and a filling lunch box treat.

Stacked Panini Sticks

Serves 6

This reminds me of my favorite panini sandwich, which has ham, cheese and arugula. Here’s my version of this panini on a stick!

Meatball Patty Melts

Serves 4

This dish is somewhere between a burger and a grilled cheese sandwich! Serve this sammy with a green salad or oil and vinegar-dressed cole slaw.

Chicken Cordon Bleu Burgers

Serves 4

Chicken Cordon Bleu is fancy breaded chicken stuffed with cheese and ham. This is chicken, ham and cheese, but much simpler to make!

Turkey Chili, Cheddar and Bacon Burgers

Serves 4

Now here’s a yum-o! burger that will keep you satified and healthy!

Lunch Box Turkey “Sushi”

Serves 1

You’ll look forward to having this wrap for lunch all morning long! Ask your grown-up helper (GH) to help you by preparing the instant rice, maybe while they make their morning coffee.

Sloppy Dude

Serves 4

Sloppy Turkey Joes

Serves 4

Rachael wrote this recipe for her friend Melanie’s son, Tyler. Now Tyler can make this for his mom!

Spinach and Three Cheese Panini, Italian Flag Panini and Pizza Panini

Serves 4 (3 half-sandwiches per person)

Panini is what Italian kids call sandwiches. Sometimes the sandwiches are hot like grilled cheeses. They are really good and make a fast dinner when no one wants to cook. In this recipe, you will build two panini of each kind, for six panini total. When they are all made, a grown-up helper (GH) can cook them up and help you serve them. Each person can have one half-sandwich of each kind.

Peanut Butter, Apple and Honey Wafflewich

Serves 4

This yummy breakfast can be made with apples or bananas and fills your belly!
