Today I have a fun idea for your back to school lunch boxes, instead of the usual peanut butter and jelly sandwich, why not let your kids make themselves a peanut butter and jelly roll for their lunchbox?
This fun recipe is courtesy of Loews Hotel’s SushiSKool, a fun school where kids can learn to roll their own sushi. This simple recipe can get children started learning how to roll sushi. Once they learn, they can come up with many creative lunch box combinations and ideas of their own.
