Jelly and Banana Sandwiches

So in all honesty here, I kinda stole this idea from a friend. ;) Hope she doesn't mind?... ;)

This is more for my little one since he can't have pb yet. I was just giving him jelly sandwiches, but that's just BORING! I heard her tell some other ladies that she gives her little one jelly and banana sandwiches and he LOVES them! So that day I tried it out on my little and he LOVED it as well!

I took one piece of bread, put a LITTLE bit of jelly on one side (my homemade strawberry jam) then I sliced some banana's on top of the jelly. It took about 6 SKINNY slices of banana. You can put more, but if you have to cut it into bite size pieces for them to pick up, it gets a little messy. Then you fold it up, in half, then I cut 3 rows and then cut it into bite size pieces and let my little man have at it! :) He LOVES it and you know what, I tasted it and it actually doesn't taste that bad! May be doing it on my older ones later today!


Spread just a bit of jelly on a piece of bread (I use half for my little one..)


Slice a few banana's, thinly...

Fold it up...


Slice it up...


And dice it up....

My little one is enjoying it!


Shovin' it in!


Another thing, I would rather use homemade jellies just so I can stay away from that high fructose syrup! My kids don't need that!
You can also use mushy bananas and just mash it in a bowl and spread it on with a knife like you would the jam. Both are good and easy! :)

Let me know if you are interested in some homemade jam, it's pretty good stuff and only 3 ingredients! :) Email me if you are interested!
