Sandwiches don't have to be boring. There are so many different ways to reinvent this everyday meal. Try different types of bread, add fruit, consider different types of spreads and create something new. Better yet, get your kids involved. If you have trouble getting them to eat, letting them create their own meals is a great place to start.
