My older son is entering kindergarten tomorrow (ahhh!!!!) and it’s the first time I will be packing lunches for him on a regular basis. I’m making a list of lunch ideas so that I can easily have a regular rotation of ideas that gives him some variety and I can put together easily.

This morning I’m sharing the recipes for what I like to call “cold cut sushi rolls”.  I would like to show how you can put together some of your kid’s favorites into little roll-ups that they will love to eat.

Roll #1: Roast Beef & Cheddar with Cucumber

Step 1: Peel and slice a cucumber into sticks.

Step 2: Lay down two pieces of roast beef and then put a cheddar slice on top.

Step 3: Place the cucumber sticks on one end and roll the beef and cheese around them as you roll it all into a log.

Step 4: To keep the log together push a few thin pretzel sticks through.

Step 5: Slice the long roll into smaller rolls and put 2 into your kid’s lunch.

Roll #2: Turkey & Colby Jack with Pepper

Step 1: Do all the same steps as the Roast Beef & Cheddar Roll but substitute with turkey, colby jack, and slices of peppers.

To make my cold cut sushi rolls I picked up Castle Wood Reserve® meats and cheeses at my local Walmart.

You can find them near the deli.

Castle Wood Reserve® offers a variety of quality meats and cheeses that are perfect for any occasion, from entertaining to packing your child’s lunch.  They are a premium line of products available at a value retailer.  The meats contain no binders, no MSG, and they are Trans-fat Free, and Gluten Free.  The cheeses contain no MSG, and are Trans-fat Free, Gluten Free, and rBST free.

Currently through Ibotta you can earn a rebate of $1.75 off meat, $0.50 off cheese, and a $0.75 bonus for buying both.  These rebates are available August 3 – October 31 or while supplies last.

Have any great lunch ideas for me?  I’d love to hear them.  All you lunch-packing pros should leave me some of your best ideas in the comments.
