My grandmothers' had a magical obsession with Jell-O for molded desserts, appetizers, and entrées in the 1970s and 80s. Whether it was a holiday centerpiece or a weekday special dessert, each jiggly offering was fun and fantastic.

When I was a kid, we often spent all day at the community pool. We’d leisurely snack on popsicles and chips, until it was time for lunch. No one wanted to dry off, get dressed, and go home for lunch. Mayonnaise didn’t travel well and wasn’t safe under the summer sun. Peanut butter sandwiches were a solution, but also suffered under the heat. My kids love the pool too, so I looked for a better alternative to those less-than lunches of childhood. The answer? Stuffed sandwiches.
