Pinwheel Sandwiches

I don't usually get very creative with lunch.  But today I thought I'd try something that caught my eye in a little book of tea party ideas that came with a toy tea set.  Couldn't find the actual book though, so I had to go from memory.

Attempt #1.

2 slices of bread, rolled with a rolling pin + peanut butter & jam = the rolled up, sliced abomination you see before you.

It would sure be easier to say the 3 year old made these ones.  But it's me. I did it.

Attempt #2.  This time I removed the crusts and rolled the bread as thin as it would go. I put PB & J between the two slices and on the top slice, so the roll would stick together better. Improvement noted.

Attempt #3.  Found a sharper knife for slicing. More improvement noted.

Attempt #4. Nutella, MMMMM!

Attempt #5. This time kept the PB & J on separate slices.  Love the colors, much prettier.

Having the actual recipe on hand probably would have saved me all the trial and error, but ah well. All in the name of culinary science.
