Easy Sandwiches | Roll-up and Pinwheels


Find some great ideas for easy sandwiches by making roll-ups and pinwheels!

My kids love roll-ups!  I’m not sure what the obsession is with them, but I’m OK with it.  They are versatile and easy sandwiches to grab-n-go.   They are also a perfect food to take with you on busy weeknights or weekends.
