For many parents, packing sandwiches for school is an ordeal. What do I pack? What if my child gets bored? How am I supposed to prepare a great sandwich in the morning when I have so many other things that need to be done quickly before we all rush out to our daily routines? How do I make a sandwich that is nutritious but is also appealing to my kid (so he/she doesn’t trade it for one with a chocolate spread)? Here are a few sandwich ideas, courtesy of Hellman’s and chef Gilli Haim.
