This is a new recipe for us and oh my it is for sure being added onto the "keeper" list. I love that it is a healthy sandwich and all my kids love it! It does take a little time to make but I made a double batch and it served 2 lunches during the week.

I made this last week and seeing these pictures has put me in the mood for more! {grin}

Enjoy!
