Make everyone’s favorite school lunch in big batches and freeze them so you are prepared for the week ahead!

Copycat Homemade Uncrustables

The other day we were eating dinner and out of nowhere my son starts listing all of the differences between him, my husband, and I. After the most random comparisons like, ‘He likes spicy food and we don’t,’ he said, “Are you even my parents?!”

It was hilarious! And yep, with 100% certainty he is our child.

Signs of school starting are everywhere. I feel so conflicted during this time of the year. We aren’t ready for school to start because we are loving the summer! Yet we are ready for the routine.

Be sure to make these Homemade Uncrustables for your kids packed lunches this school year! You can make a whole loaf of them (or more) ahead of time and keep them in the freezer!

Some of our other favorite make ahead ideas to keep school days easy are Peanut Butter & Jelly Overnight Oats and Mini Pizza Bagels! And be sure to throw some cute jokes in their lunch box, too!

What You’ll Need:

• 2 slices Bread
• 2 tbsp Peanut Butter
• 1 tbsp Jelly

How to Make Homemade Uncrustables:

• Lay out two pieces of sandwich bread on a cutting board.
• Spread a light layer of peanut butter in the center of both pieces. Then spread a light layer of jelly on top of the peanut butter of one piece.
• Combine to make a sandwich.
• Using an uncrustable cutter, press the large cutter over the center of the sandwich pressing down to make a circle. Tear the crust away and remove the cutter. Then align the small cutter over the top of the circle sandwich so the imprints are over the edges. Press down to seal the sandwich together.
