Kids Making Subs
What an easy way to get the kids excited to make their own food. When they make their own subs with a variety of meat, vegetables, cheese, condiments and a sub bun they are sure to eat it all. I am glad I started doing this with the grandkids as they are learning the beginning stages of cooking by themselves.
My grandson is making requests for what he wants to make next. He has added tacos and hamburgers to the list. If you have kids or grandkids give it a try. You will see how excited they get and how different each child’s sub turns out.
Start with all the prepared ingredients so they can take what they want.
Have them spread the condiments on the bun. It may not be pretty but it’s theirs.
Next have them add the vegetables.
Let them finish with the rest of their favorite ingredients. This was my granddaughters finished sub.
This was my grandsons finished sub. Both of the kids ate every bite!

Excellent!! Now, …. where is the PB and the chocolate spread 😉
Then they wouldn’t eat dinner! 🤣
Haha, that’s true! 😉
Well Diane, it’s not just kids that will love those subs … I find that to be a good lunch when I’m in a hurry! You are making proper little chefs of these two – hooray!
I agree they do make for a delicious, easy and quick meal.
Kids love to make their own choices! And they love grinders (New England!).
They seem to grow up so fast now a days don’t they?
Like lightening!
Thanks a lot madam for sharing your grand children’s foodies.Take care.🌹🙏
You’re welcome Francis and have a wonderful weekend!
Same to you madam.Take care.🌹🙏
My grandkids love homemade subs. It’s the go-to meal for family get togethers.
I love that you do it for a family get together! Then you don’t have to cook, excellent idea Susanne!
That is definitely a kid’s serving size of mayo! 😄
Hahaha and I didn’t say a word!
You’re the BEST granny, Diane! 👏❤️

Awe thank you Mitzy! It’s the best job in the world!
A fun activity and it is true they will eat whatever they prepare.
It is fun seeing the excitement in their eyes when the make their creation. They made it a point to say don’t help us at all grandma. Of course they couldn’t eat them until I took my pictures but they are use to that! 🤣
Nothing like a good hoagie… 🙂
I agree Matt! Thank you and have a nice weekend.
I’ll take an Italian combo, to go please!
Darn I never thought to have them make our subs too! See you inspire me! Lol
What a great idea and fun activity to do with your grandkids! Sadly for me, T would just eat the bread and ignore the rest. But something I’ll file away to try with him a little later when he’s hopefully less fussy!!!
Oh how funny Ab. I think all kids love bread and rolls, even us big kids! Lol Thank you!
What fun! 🙂
It really was, thank you!
I am a big fan of both cooking with kids and of giving them independence and choice with foods. Subs are a great idea!
Thank you I agree. It teaches them so much at a young age. Besides I expect them to have me over for dinner when they get out on their own! 😂
What a pretty sub! I think it’s great to get kids involved in the kitchen. 🙂
Thanks Michelle but what’s great is they always eat it all when they make it. I could make it the same exact way and they wouldn’t eat it all. 🤣
My daughter is the same way! 😂
Good! Let them learn to cook and prep meals for themselves. They can work their way up to Thanksgiving soon enough!
Now your talking! 🤣
I agree, when the kids are invested in the preparation they’ll eat! I used to do these pocket dinners with the kids, they’d stuff premade crescent dough with potatoes, cheeses, meats, veggies and we baked them in the oven! They thought this was so cool! Win for Mom, C
Great idea Cheryl the kids would love that!
What a great time and activity with kids !
It really was and they were so excited to make them. Thanks Nisha!
What a delicious-looking sub! Does your grandson offer take-out? 😉
Only if you can get it out of his hands! I made BBQ pork tenderloin and he ate 3 helpings then said “This is the best day ever!” 🤣😂🤣 Thank you!
The best way to get picky kids to eat is to have them make their own sandwiches! Good for you – and good for them. My son used to pile on mustard on every sandwich he made. Now, he hardly touches mustard. I think he got his fill! 🙂
Don’t hold your breath, my husband uses it on everything. He tells me something is good and I wonder how he can tell. 🤣
How funny!
Such a great idea for getting kids interested in food and cooking 🙂
Yes it works like a charm Aspasia! Even more so, they eat all that they fix themselves! Lol
Lol That’s probably the most impressive part 🙂
Better get some of those chef’s toques for these youngster Diane. 🙂
Right!
They may not make them that small!
Easy and tasty dish..!
Thanks, my grandkids loved them.
Aw..! So nice. You’re welcome..!
