Re-invent Peanut Butter and Jelly Sandwiches with this fun twist on a classic taste! Peanut Butter and Jelly Sushi is a quick, easy and fun way to enjoy your favorite kid-approved flavors for lunch or as an after school snack! 

I can't believe a new school year is about to start here next week!  This summer, like all summers, just flew by.  It seems like the kids just got out of school for the summer yesterday!  Although I don't have any small children I'm sending back-to-school this year, I do have a kid heading back to college in two weeks. Since my son will be living off campus this year, I need to stock him up with plenty of food, snacks, and other necessities for college life before we drop him off. 

How do I stock up my son for college life before he heads back? I go to my local Giant Eagle! If you are like me and a fan of one-stop-shopping, you need to check out Giant Eagle. They have everything I need to make sure he is set; Food, toiletries, cleaning items, gift cards, easy breakfast options, snacks...Giant Eagle has them all.  And, you just can't beat the gas perks I earn while I shop to get him stocked up!  

I was happy to find many of the items we had on our list on sale.  I mean, who doesn't like to save time AND money?  This kid goes through a lot of peanut butter!  I plopped 6 jars in the cart since they were on sale! 

After shopping, I decided a snack was needed.  Peanut Butter and Jelly Sushi was a natural choice! It's so fun and easy to make.  Take a look at the process below!

I rolled the finished "sushi" in some cinnamon sugar to guild the lily, so-to-speak, but this step is totally optional! 

These Peanut Butter and Jelly Sushi also make a fun lunch option!  Six "sushi" are equal to one complete sandwich.  Pair them with some 100% fruit juice, some mini carrots and cuke slices, and a Giant Eagle cheese stick for a fun lunch kids of all ages can enjoy!
