I'm looking for inspiration for making sandwiches for my 2yo, I'm really not into peanut butter, vegimite or jam and feel the need to make sandwiches more interesting.
So far I rarely give DD sandys, but have been thinking about habits we have in life and remember I was a white bread and butter girl through and through. We never had much in the way of interesting sandy mixes in our house and I was far from adventorous. I remember when I was a teenager I finally had the guts to try a ham and salad sandwich... fearful was I... but damn, it was really yum! I don't want to have DD like that!
I remember watching a playschool episode where they made some cool mixes like grated carrot and honey and so far I have been inventive enough to come up with cream cheese and sultanas
Surely there must be better than that. So hit me, what do you mix up in between your bread???
Will read this thread with interest, dd lives on vegemite but would love to mix it up a bit! I cut her sandwhiches with a cookie cutter to keep her interested sometimes, then we sing as she eats stars etc.
Shredded chicken with mayo, chopped walnuts and black pepper. Sometimes I add sliced cucumber or chop it through the mix
Egg and mayo is also popular. Just a bit of black pepper rather than curry powder.
Shredded chicken, mayo, spring onion and parsley wizzed in the food processor into the chunky paste then just spread it on the bread...I usually add some pear (tinned or fresh) and pepper too. DS loves them and so do I
We used to do Baba Ganoush and ham or cheese. Or even just Baba Ganoush on it's own.
Peanut Butter and Tomato is really nice, I know sounds bizarre but it's like chili less satay
My kids love Cheese & Mayo... don't quite know why...
Smoked Salmon sandwiches are always a hit here.
Egg Salad (I use my tupperware hand held choppers for this), add egg, mayo, american mustard, salt, pepper, spring onions and curry powder (just a smidge).
And don't forget about sushi sandwiches. You roll out the bread with a rolling pin then paint with mayo or whatever dip you like then fill the middle with whatever you like. My son loves Sushi so this goes down a treat.
Peanut Butter & Banana Sandwiches are YUMMO! And the kids think they are a treat
My kids love cream cheese (from the jar) and cucumber sandwiches. They also liked meat paste sandwiches when they were younger.
At work we used to make an easy one which was just shredded chicken, grated cheese, thinly sliced celery mayo and a little bit of mustard. You could put anything in it really, we also did a similar one with tuna.
Hit me with some fancy pants sandwich mixes!
