Hannah's Cookie-Cutter Sandwiches
Hi family! This isn't really a recipe... but it involves food so I'll count it :)
On holidays, when my siblings and I were younger, my mom would always break out her box of cookie cutters and cut our sandwiches into fun shapes for lunch. I remember always eating shamrock-shaped sandwiches on St. Patrick's Day, pumpkins on Halloween, and stockings or trees for the month of December. It was a fun tradition, and I decided to carry it on by making Leah little heart-shaped sandwiches for Valentine's Day. She loved it! So much so, that now she won't eat a sandwich unless it's a "heart sammich." It's fun for Leah to have cute foods, and fun for me to have her actually finish her whole lunch without complaining.
We're pretty big sandwich eaters around here, and are always trying out new tastes! We love...

| We also cookie-cut our cheese ;) |
- peanut butter with jam, bananas, thinly-sliced green apples, raisins, craisins, honey, or nutella
- nutella with bananas, raspberries, or strawberries (I always grill nutella sandwiches, but to each their own :)
- grilled cheese, either plain or with tomato or bacon
- meat & cheese with lettuce (we're mainly turkey fans)
That's pretty much it! Hope this might help some of you who can't get their kids to eat lunch :) What are some of your family's favorite sandwich combos?
(also, these KALAS dishes and silverware from Ikea are by far my favorite for little kids. Super durable, cute colors, and SUPER cheap! $1.99 for a pack of 6 plates/bowls/cups, or an 18-piece silverware set. waaay better than anything I've found anywhere else.)
