Jeni Clancy is the Early Childhood Specialist/Playroom Coordinator with Parents Place in San Francisco. The following recipe is one that she teaches in her “Look! I Can Cook!” class for young children, ages 2 – 4. The sandwich rolls make a healthy Back to School lunch or snack. “This is one of our easiest and most fun recipes to make. The kids love it, and so do their parents!” says Jeni, noting that spots are still available for her next cooking class, which will run Fridays, September 19 – October 10.
