Easy French Dip Sandwiches

Pepperoni Pizza Rolls

My poor kids have been in a lunchtime rut for a while now. All I ever make them is turkey and peanut butter sandwiches. No, not together. Turkey for the girl. Peanut butter for the boy. My son always asks for "peanut butter...(yelling) and JAM!". Apparently he's unclear if I remember from the previous 200… Continue reading Pepperoni Pizza Rolls
