Simple Sandwiches

[childcaremom]

Mine like tortillas. I spread with cream cheese and avocado (mashed so it spreads). Then roll it up and slice it. They love these.

[e.j.]

Mine won't even eat a hot dog on a hot dog bun. Now if I open it up, spread it with butter and Parmesan cheese before toasting it, they will gobble it in a hurry.

Kids are funny! I once had a dcg who would eat a grilled cheese sandwich as long as it was cut on the diagonal. If I cut it straight down the middle, she wouldn't touch it.

Cream cheese and cucumber slices on bread.
The kids love them!

King Hawaiian rolls sliced open, add ham, cheese, and a little honey mustard. My kids go nuts for them.

You guys amaze me with what kids will or won't eat. Avocado and cream cheese?
Cream cheese and cucumber?
Tuna?
Spinach with turkey?
My kids would all go to bed hungry too.

I remember when my own kids were little and they were the picky eaters. Good grief!

I think the only thing in sandwiches, that they all agree on is ham. And then I just roll it up to serve alongside bread.
At a food program training they had tortillas spread with peanut butter and place a banana inside. Roll it all up and slice it. You'd think that would've been a hit. But nope.

Since I work with the littlest ones I get to train them from first foods... here my babies will eat Asian veg, Indian curries and fish tacos (older babes); I even get them to drink Miso soup . My homemade tortillas go over much better than store bought too. It's part of why I do a different country each day for my menus... variety

Anytime I make tortillas, they shrink in diameter and get thicker. We don't like them that way! Do yours do that? If no do you do anything to prevent it?

Basic 4 ingredients & water. I make dough, break into balls then let it sit for 10-15 minutes before rolling out thin. Mine puff and get those nice brown spots (reason they were nicknamed puffies by toddlers); takes barely 30 seconds a side to cook on an un-greased cast iron skillet. I use very little baking powder (like less than 1/4 tsp for 4 cups flour)

Yum! I need to add these to my rotation I watched the pioneer women make a similar recipe, but she used roast beef instead of ham. They looked so good.

Thanks I don't think my recipe calls for baking powder! I will have to look.

I also use veggie lard... A lot of recipes call for 1 tsp of baking powder to 3 cups flour, but authentic uses very little... I add water as needed to make my dough, no set amount depending on humidity. I also make corn tortillas ...
