Cookie Cutter Sandwiches

bread

🥗Healthier: whole grain bread

💰Cheaper: white bread

Whole grain bread adds fiber and nutrients.

mayonnaise

🥗Healthier: avocado spread

💰Cheaper: yogurt

Avocado spread is healthier and adds creaminess.

meat

🥗Healthier: grilled chicken

💰Cheaper: canned tuna

Grilled chicken is leaner, while canned tuna is budget-friendly.

cheese

🥗Healthier: nutritional yeast

💰Cheaper: processed cheese

Nutritional yeast is dairy-free and adds flavor.

Introduce the recipe with Kenzie and Kyle for back to school lunch ideas.

Mention that the sandwiches are gluten-free, but the bread shown is not gluten-free.

Demonstrate using cookie cutters to create fun shapes from sandwiches.

Kenzie chooses to demonstrate a Mickey Mouse shape first.

Place the cookie cutter in the center of the sandwich and press down hard.

Peel away the excess bread around the Mickey shape to reveal the cutout.

Show the leftover bread pieces and the cute Mickey sandwich cutout.

Kenzie decides to make a star shape next, using peanut butter and jelly.

Repeat the process of pressing down with the cookie cutter to create the star shape.

Peel away the excess bread to reveal the star sandwich.

Mention that the fluffernutter sandwich was stickier and easier to cut apart than the peanut butter and jelly sandwich.

Encourage using a knife for careful peeling if needed.
