Better Lunch Recipes:
Pizza Stackers
No need for premade meal kits when you can make your own, using the ingredients you love! In a bento box or multi-compartment container, arrange your favorite pizza elements: pizza sauce, pepperoni slices, mozzarella cheese, and toasted Martin’s Potato Bread circles. When ready to eat, build your pizza and enjoy!

Ham & Cheese Sandwich Stackers
These sandwich stackers are a fun alternative to regular “boring” sandwiches. Use a star-shaped cookie cutter to create cut-outs of deli-sliced ham, Swiss cheese, and Martin’s Potato Bread. Then, arrange all of the ingredients separately in a container and let your child stack their own sandwich when ready to eat.
