Every August moms everywhere start the year off with a renewed spirit and can do attitude… until we realize that we will be making lunches for the next 180 days of school.  And we all dread the number one item in most lunches.  The Sandwich.  We make them with ham, with turkey, with jelly, with cheese, and sometimes we get trendy and make them with avocado. But the monotony of making them day after day gets to the best of us, and by May, a slice of bread and a still-wrapped slice of cheese is considered a winning lunch! 

This year, try something new, with a kitchen tool that you probably already have…the Cookie Cutter.  Sure, you can buy “sandwich cutters” online or at the store, but if you are trying this for the first time, just use what you have! Make the sandwich and press the cookie cutter right in the middle.  If you are using meat that is having a hard time getting cut, roll your rolling pin right over the cutter for added pressure, and voila! A cute sandwich!  Have a kid that hates crusts? Then throw the extra pieces away, or snack on them yourself after the kids have gone off to school.
