Turkey and Cheese Kids’ Sushi

Back again with another back-to-school recipe.  This time, taking the everyday turkey and cheese sandwich and throwing a kids’ sushi spin on it.

I got inspired by the bento box craze and found a version at my local Target store with built in cooler packs.  I think Blaise will dig this when he heads back to school.

This is a great lunchbox recipe if you had rice for dinner as you can use the leftover rice to roll up these kid-friendly sushi rolls.  All you need is a spinach tortilla, some carrots, cheese slices, turkey slices, hummus and rice.  The hummus is essential because that’s what helps hold it all together.

I also added some fruit and a sweet treat with these wholesome sushi rolls.  The fun folks at Belgian Boys sent me samples of their Mini Choco Stroopwafel, which are both fun to say and eat.  They’re caramel mini waffles dipped in chocolate and my crew is going nuts over them.  Fortunately, they’re small, so they don’t insight a major sugar-fueled mania.
