Kids Lunch Apple of My Eye Sandwich Sushi

With school staring on Wednesday we have been field testing a wide variety of ways for me to pack JDaniel’s Easy Lunch Box container. One of his favorites was this kids lunch sandwich sushi meal with an apple theme. Part of the reason I think he liked it was that it had a fun name. I think he also liked that the foods were all compressed together in. The flattened bread tasted better to me than when it is fluffy he mentioned to me after he had eaten several sushi rolls.
I am so glad he like it. Making sandwich sushi rolls is super easy and allows parents to sneak in new foods without their children knowing they are there.

Let me walk you through how I made the sushi rolls:

  1. Roll a rolling pin over pieces of sandwich bread until it is the thickness you desire.
  2. Spread or place the foods you want on top of the bread. We used apple jelly and honey baked ham.
  3. Roll each slice of bread up to create a tube.
  4. Slice the sandwich sushi rolls as thick or thin as you like.

I made apple and Colby Jack cheese apple shaped cutouts to place on top of the sandwich sushi rolls to dress them up a little bit. The outlines of the cutouts were placed in the upper right hand section of the lunch box. I sprinkled the apples with a tiny bit of lemon juice to keep them from going brown.

Since the apple of my eye loves applesauce with a dash of cinnamon, I put that in the lunch too. JDaniel might not understand the phrase apple of my eye, but he really enjoyed having an apple themed sandwich sushi lunch in his kids lunch.

Oh! Another reason I like the sushi sandwiches  in a kids lunch is that rather than having a whole sandwich or a half or even quarters  is that this lunch has bite size pieces that kids can pop in their mouths. I think it might encourage kids to try new foods or eat more of a sandwich than being presented with big pieces of sandwich.

  3. Looks like a great lunch. My mom used to flatten bread and make roll ups for me when I was a kid. I loved them with butter and cinnamon/sugar on them. She’d make them for me when I was sick 🙂

  5. what an adorable lunch idea! i need to do this for my daughter once she starts school next week!

  10. I’ve tried this, but didn’t think about using a rolling pin. I’ll need to try it again.
