Healthy Lunch Box Alternative Recipe: Corn Muffin "Sandwiches"

By definitition, a sandwich is assorted fillings placed between two slices of bread.  But by thinking Out of the Box about our food, we can deconstruct the definitive "sandwich" and turn it into a fun, healthy alternative meal that kids would love to find in their lunch box!
