Today I had the opportunity to try out a new trick that I learned from a friend (thanks, Jenny!). Have you ever had problems getting a toddler to eat her sandwich? Not again! This method turns an ordinary sandwich into a gobbled-up snack! Here's the procedure:

1) Take two pieces of bread and cut off the crusts.

2) Layer one slice of cheese and one slice of meat.

3) Squish the sandwich until it's as flat as possible. This is the most important step. If it isn't compressed enough, the pieces will separate. If you are having trouble getting it flat, you can put something heavy on top, such as a heavy frying pan, and let it sit for a while. Another alternative is to use a rolling pin.

4) Cut the sandwich into 1/2 inch squares.

This is a perfect on-the-go meal!
