Miss Frugal is now officially learning to cook (so she tells me) in a weekly ‘Fun with Food’ class that she’s taking at school. Apparently she had the chance to grow stuff, sew stuff, cut stuff or cook stuff so she chose to cook stuff cos she is already good at that (her words not mine ;-)) For the last few weeks she has been coming home with some rather bizarre recipes and this week was no exception!
This weeks concoction recipe was cartwheel sandwiches. You’ll have to bear with me on this one as we’ve made it from the memory of a seven year old 😉
Mix a tin of tuna with some Philadelphea soft cheese. Put to one side (trying to ignore the fact that it smells a but iffy!)
Next, cut the crusts off your bread.
Using a rolling pin, flatten the bread.
Roll up each slice into a swiss roll type thing and cut each one in half.
Garnish with parsley and serve to an unsuspecting daddy 😉
It was actually a lot nicer than it sounds and it’s a fun way to get kids to eat their sandwiches. We’ve also trie a ham and cheese spread version and a tuna mayo version for Miss Frugal’s packed lunch and a chocolate spread and banana one for supper last night.
Now it’s your turn 😉
I love the smoked variety as a melting cheese for pasta and sandwiches.
I hope you enjoy them if you do make them, I bet he'd love the rolling pin bit best x x
Thanks very much. I love cooking with the kids and these were really find to make x
These look like a fab idea!! I bet even my 1 year old would enjoy them! Will return in the week to have a go! 🙂 x
This looks like a great way to spice up a simple favorite. Definitely could excite a pickier kid.
Exactly, just something different to tempt them x

Ah now I know what pinwheel sarnies are, thank you Aly. They look cool, I will try them with Elf. – HMx
Hope you enjoy them x x
I make these for my kids, I call then pin wheel sandwiches.I cut mine thinly so they look like swiss roll slices.You can do something similar with puff pastry.Spread a rolled out sheet with tomato puree, sprinkle with cheese and torn basil.Then cut into slices and cook for about 15 – 20 minutes.
Oooh your puff pasrty version sounds yummy – we might try that next time 😉
I've just asked Miss Frugal and they are called pin wheel sandwiches she just couldn't remember the proper name so she named them cartwheel sandwiches lol
