Let’s Doodle Lunch! (GIVEAWAY)
School is almost out for summer.
Gigi has a few more weeks and Lulu only has a few more days.
I’ve been looking forward to summer: no lunches to pack, no homework to do, no praying to dear God that nothing forces me out of my car when I do the morning drop off in boxer shorts, crazy lady hair and bare feet. So far so good.
Then, just when summer can’t get here fast enough, we have a day like today when I foolishly take Lulu bra shopping.
Holy smokes.
Drawers were opening left and right and 32 As through 46 Fs in pink leopard print, electric blue rhinestones and neon green lace were flying.
I’m pretty sure that saleslady never wants to have children now, and not because of my depressing cup size after having breastfed two kids.
(Goodbye, male readers. Like my once ample bosom, It was nice having you around while you lasted.)
It was the perfect afternoon to give the girls an activity and to give you a giveaway.
I almost always make my own bread for lunches, but I also always keep a store-bought loaf in the freezer for emergencies. Rudi’s Organic Bakery is one of the few brands that I feel really good about buying. They use all organic, non-GMO ingredients, no high fructose corn syrup or trans fat. They’ve also recently developed a gluten-free line as well that I’ve yet to track down but I’m excited to try.
Rudi’s is currently holding a Facebook promotion that is near and dear to my heart called “Let’s Doodle Lunch.”
Through the promotion, parents can join the Rudi’s Facebook community, upload their kid’s artwork, and get a FREE sandwich box with that art on top of the lid from now until June 30th.
The idea is to encourage healthy creativity, both on the sandwich box and inside.
The girls were totally into the idea of leaving their permanent mark on, well, anything that they can.
The true sign of razor-sharp focus is the sticking out of one’s tongue.
The true sign of pickle obsession is a pickle bandaid. On an imaginary injury.
Once their designs, along with those done by other kiddos, are submitted, Rudi’s Facebook fans will have the chance to vote on their favorite design. For each vote cast, Rudi’s will donate a $1 to The Lunch Box Project, a non-profit that is devoted to empowering schools to serve nutritious, whole foods to all students.
And to help you and your kids get started, Rudi’s is offering a really fun package to one lucky P&TY reader.
One winner from the comments below will receive:
- 1 art kit complete with paints, crayons, markers, etc., (note: we didn’t receive these art prizes for hosting this giveaway, but we do have this exact art kit and the girls love it!);
- 1 sketch pad for doodling;
- 1 black beret for creative inspiration;
- 1 reusable Rudi’s Organic bag; and,
- 2 free coupons good for any Rudi’s Organic product.
To enter, leave a comment below telling me your favorite sandwich combo. (I do have another few weeks of lunches to pack, after all.)
Winners will be announced on May 18, 2012. Good luck!
*Disclaimer: We got a few coupons for Rudi’s Organic products, but really I chose to participate so you guys could learn about the cool sandwich boxes and get the art kit!
Thanks for the heads up about the sandwich box. How fun!
We toast gluten & top 8 free bread and use a Sunshine Burger, vegenaise (soy free), Bubbies sweet pickles, onions, lettuce, and mustard for a yummy and safe sandwich lunch!
hummus, cheese, tomato, avacado on toasted bread….sooooo good in the summer!
This is such a fun giveaway! I haven’t tried Rudis Organic products yet but I have heard of them before and would love to try them. My favourite sandwich combo is balsamic marinated tempeh, a portobello mushroom, baby spinach and hummus. Not exactly a kiddo’s ideal combination, but it’s so SO good!
I love ham and cheese with honey mustard dressing.
My fave sandwich….. this one won’t be a new one to you…… it’s your hummus crack wrap…. there has never been a more aptly named sandwich out there! Once you have it you never go back!
Only I add pickles to it…. sometimes black olives and spinach go in it too…… But delish!!!
This outta keep my son busy for awhile
My whole family is obsessed with pbjs. We do use gluten free bread, organic pb and jelly though
Can’t mess with a classic!
Sandwiches. Just the thought is making me hungry. The best I’ve made is vegan pesto on garlic sourdough with huge slices of tomato and avocado and some sprouts to boot! Super YUM!
Well this might sound crazy, but I *adore* all-natural peanut butter, Vegenaise and pickles on whole-wheat!
This does sound crazy, but I am somewhat intrigued! Which kind of vegenaise do you use?
Just the original kind with the blue top.
My favorite is bacon, lettuce, tomato, avocado. With a side of Stacy’s pita chips on the side. Mmm…
Great giveaway! My daughter would be so super excited! I gotta say; I can’t beat avocado, hummus and just about any kind of cheese (vegan or not). On a torilla nuked for a few seconds or on bread toasted in a pan like a classic grilled cheese. What makes me the most excited about this giveaway? My family just recently went gluten free for a variety of reasons (no allergies thank goodness), and we just found rudi’s! Love it
Nothing beats a tomato sandwich with vegan mayo once they are ready in the garden!!
What a fun contest!!!
Yum!
My fav sandwich combo used to be Gouda cheese with sweet ‘yum yums’ pickles. Now no more dairy for me… So I go for tomato and sprouts with a bit of veganise.
Such a fun giveaway!! I love anything with avocado, especially grilled cheese, tomato, and avocado.
mozzarella, basil, and tomato on toasted sourdough…school’s almost out here too..yay..so laughing at your morning drop off getup..me too..personal goal for next year..at least put bra on and brush teeth
Chunky Sunflower butter and strawberry chia jam open-faces …because you get more sunflower butter that way!!
Hummus tomatoe and lettuce!
GREAT giveaway. Gosh, favorite sandwich combo? There are so many. These days I’m really into roast beef or turkey with Dijon, cheese (melted), and banana peppers! I dream of Quiznos often.
Turkey, cheddar and pickles!
hummus and roasted veggies : )
I like sauerkraut, avocado, and spicy mustard!
I’m making this tomorrow. Yum!
I like turkey with spinach leaves and hummus. My girls are going to love this!
My favorite is grilled sharp cheddar and granny smith apple!
Oh goodness…its a classic, but its comfort food for me: tempeh bacon, lettuce, tomato, and avocado. Yum.
My favorite sandwich is roasted veggies and goat cheese, drizzled with some nice vinaigrette or balsamic reduction. It is so good!! I also like hummus + roasted veggies on sandwiches to pack for my lunchbox!
Ana
I lovvvve Amy’s California veggie burgers with hummus,mustard, avocado, and spinach. Yum!
Peanut butter, nutella and sauteed bananas! More like a dessert than a sandwich
so cute! I’m all about the pb&j now that I’m back in America, but I loved Vegemite and avocado when I was living in australia!
My favorite sandwich combo is hummus, coconut oil, and roasted veggies!
LOL- I just need to say, Mama Pea- when you said you took Lulu bra shopping, I thought that you were buying bras FOR Lulu. Ha ha ha! I had to read that like six times before I got over visions of Lulu tearing through Victoria’s Secret! Clearly a sign of a brain dead middle school teacher desperate for summer, but funny enough that I had to share. Hope you get a kick out of it too!
Oh man. I dread that day for real!
My favorite is spinach, tomato, avo, cheese, cucumber on whole grain with a ton of mustard. My kids like peanut butter and honey on whole wheat….ugh….at least it is organic?
How cute is that! Finn would love it!
my favorite sandwich combo is definitely roasted veggies with goat cheese. So yummy! 
I feel like each one of my children took a cup size away from me. I think my 8yr old will be able to wear my bras next year. My favorite sandwich is hummus, cheese, avocado and veggies.
I feel your pain. Lulu recently told me Pea Daddy had bigger boobs than me. Sad but true.
I am so in love with an easy sandwich no matter the time of the day. I love whole wheat bread, toasted accompanied with a layer of spicy dijon mustard on one side, hummus on the other. I add a nice stack of baby spinach, 1 free range scrambled egg (with hot sauce), and a thin layer of organic sharp cheese. So delicious!
Hummus, avocado, and Swiss on wheat. Forever amen.
Lulu is in love with your avatar.
What a wonderful idea. Favorite sandwich: good old peanut butter and jelly!
My favorite is to spread some Mmm Sauce onto a slice of toasted Ezekiel bread, top with some black beans mashed up with liquid smoke and a dash of salt, place a few thin slices of Vegan Gourmet cheddar cheese on top and stick it in the toaster oven for about a minute to get the cheese a bit melty. After that I add some avocado slices and tabasco. So good!
Holy moly! Yum!!!
What about if I wanted to do a lunch box?
I absolutely adore Rudi’s products. THe health food store I go to only makes their sandwiches on Rudi’s breads.
Okay my current favorite sandwich combo:
Whole Wheat Wrap
Smoked Organic Turkey
Egg Whites
Avocado
Hummus
Mustard
Spinach
This is fabulous! My daughter is a fan of cream cheese and jelly sandwiches, the idea being that you lick the fillings and leave the (homemade and slaved over) bread. My son is a straight up pb and j man, bread included. I’d like to add mine, but I usually just end up scarfing the crusts and soggy, licked bread and calling it lunch. And I had idea we had the same fashion sense, at least in the car in morning…
My favorite sweet sandwich is peanut butter, jelly, and banana. Savory is goat cheese, beets, and spinach. YUM!
Our favorite sandwich is toasted bread(rudis is one our favorites), roasted red pepper hummus, steamed kale, green onions, cilantro, sprouts and thinly sliced lemon slices. I actually bought a loaf of Rudi’s today-it was on sale for $3 and I had a $2 coupon!! My son will love the sandwich container if I can figure out how to download the picture.
My favorite sandwich in the summer is toasted cracked wheat bread a little mayo (or veganaise) topped with sliced tomatoes and cucumbers fresh from the garden!
What a cute giveaway! My favorite sandwich is goat cheese, sun-dried tomatoes and basil on pumperknickel! I also like Turkey and avocado!
So cool! I’m a huge turkey, avocado, onion, romaine on whole wheat fan
Went into vs once and the lady told me by looking that a certain style bra didn’t come in my size (I was small). I turned around, walked out, and laughed so hard it hurt. Nursing 2 I’ve gone far the other way. So you’re all saying that I’ll go back to being heckled by salespersons after I’m done nursing? Not good news!
Where can one buy that brand of bread? I’ve been looking and looking for something good. I want to make our bread but I’m horrible at it! Unless you like super small, dense and heavy bread! Current favorite is hummus and cucumber .
I’ve bought Rudi’s at Whole Foods and Fred Meyer (our version of Kroger) but I bet they have a store locator on their website!
Love the sandwich box idea. So cool!
My fav sandwich is toasted tomato & avocado. Yum!
Favorite sandwich is anything with avocado, especailly bacon (fake is ok), lettuce, and av on whole grain. Yummy!
My absolute fav sandwich these days is an avocado ruben with toasted Rudi’s actually sourdough bread, vegenaise, sourcrout , tomato, avocado and two pickles on the side!
I haven’t had a sandwich since going gluten-free (still haven’t found a gf bread without xanthan gum) but my fave combo was always peanut butter with strawberry jam.
Avocado with cheddar in the panini press!
Either a gooey grilled cheese or a fried egg BLT!
I love turkey with chedder cheese, lettuce, and tomato. Simple but so good!
favorite sandwich combo = PB & J
But seriously, this is a great giveaway. Skylar would love love love the art supplies and that sandwich box is too cute. Off to check out the details on that. Thanks for the heads up!
I love pickle, cheddar and mustard sandwiches. A little weird but so yummy. This is an amazing giveaway. My daughter would love the art supplies!
My favorite sandwich is homemade whole wheat breat, toasted, with bbq sauce, avocado, lettuce, tomato, mushrooms, and cucumbers. Delish!!!
I love hot sandwiches! I love to combine avocado, tomatoes and arugula, then grill in a grill pan..yum!
My favorite sandwich combo has to be a good old peanut butter and jelly, brings me right back to childhood.
This looks so cool! Do you know if Rudi’s would send the boxes to Canada?
Just fell in love with a sandwich from a place called The Mellow Mushroom which had fresh spinach, portabello mushrooms, sun-dried tomatoes, sprouts and feta cheese on whole wheat. Yummm! Thanks for sharing the sandwich box giveaway!
Homemade hummus and daiya, toasted on whole wheat bread-my kids love it!
thanks for holding this awesome giveaway! one of my favorite sandwich combos is: cranberry sauce, smoked tempeh, sprouts, roasted sweet potato slices, vegan mayo, cucumbers and romaine on toasted bread.
Sandwich for me would be a Morningstar spicy black bean burger with a firm sunny side up egg, & Frank’s Hot Sauce!!! Kids…PBJ!!!
First I wondered why Lulu would need to go bra shopping…? But then I reread it and realized it’s you. Lol! As a high school teacher recently ragged down with an awful flu, I’m ready for summer. Three more weeks. Three more weeks. My fave sandwich combo is so simple… Homemade bread with gouda, avocado, and tomatoes.
How fun! I love making lettuce wraps (my version of sandwiches, with all of my allergies!) with BBQ sauce and pickles. Clearly Lulu and I are kindred spirits!
Nutella and Banana Sammes on Whole Wheat are delish
Tuna avocado
Hummus with red pepper, cucumbers, carrots and spinach is a great cold sandwich, but my favorite hot sandwich is a good grilled cheese.
I love to mash up any kind of canned beans I can find in the pantry with some olive oil and garlic, spread on whole wheat with any type of cheese, some mashed avocado, and add in something pickled (go Lulu!!)– whether that’s bread and butter pickles, pickled red onions or vinegary sweet & sour red cabbage. Sandwiches just NEED that vinegar tang!
Is there anything better than PB and J!?!?
Grilled cheese…it never gets old!
rye bread…mmmm!
…school cafe grilled cheese sandis…nostalgic yumminess!
Love ,love, love Angela’s (Oh She Glows) maple cinnamon almond butter with banana although when I had a plethora of red pepper hummus, I was having hummus, grape tomato, and basil on whole wheat even for breakfast!
I love loading a sandwich up with veggies and humus!
Avocado hummus with tomato and sprouts is the current fav
I like Dr. Praegers California burger topped with jalapeno hummus on a food for life English muffin with some sliced cucumbers. Yummy.
Fried egg with avocado on wheat, baby!
So cool! I love smashed avocado, shredded carrots, lettuce and tomato. I also love to add the WestSoy baked Thai tofu to this sandwich but they’ve stopped carrying this in the stores near me- so sad!
Right now I’m really digging horseradish hummus, avocado, tempeh, and tomato!
Turkey, pesto, provolone cheese, grilled on sourdough bread with some pickles and lettuce (after grilling! loathe warm pickles/wilty lettuce).
Lately my favorite sandwich is tuna with dill and tomato. Yum!
Almond butter & strawberry jelly. Yummm
tomato, avocado, and spinach on sourdough
Peanut butter and honey or peanut butter and banana are my faves.
Pamela
Roasted red pepper hummus, sliced up veggies, wrapped in a multi-grain wrap….yummy!
tempeh bacon, hummus, sprouts, and spinach on sourdough! YUMM
I swear it is tasty. I swear. Fried egg with peanut butter and just a touch of honey.
I love avocado, sprouts and honey mustard on wheat. Yum!
Hummus, cucumber, avocado, cheddar cheese, tomato, sprouts or spinach on grainy bread. Now I need to go make one for lunch tomorrow!
I love a good grilled cheese with an apple on the side. Simple but delicious.
SOO doing this with H & C!!
My favorite sandwich? Good old PB & J!
I love Rudi’s bread, too!
Right now, our favorite sandwich is almond butter, or peanut butter, and Ricemellow cream.
If you have not enjoyed Ricemellow before, It’s like fluff, but made with brown rice syrup. It’s addicting. I even use it as icing on carrot cake cupcakes.
hm…. I go through weird sandwich phases… I have a strange bread diversion unless it is Rudi’s or California brand bread. What I love is sprouted wheat bread with almond butter, coconut flakes, a banana and dark chocolate chips!
Sometimes I put jelly on there too!
If we are talking about savory sandwiches I love pepperjack cheese with tuna salad , lettuce and cranberries! Sweet, I have been on a ridiculous banana peanut butter on sandwich thin with some chocolate sprinkles, kick.
Favorite sandwich combo right now is almond butter and strawberries!
Peanut butter, banana, and a drizzle of honey!!
Right now our favorite is cheddar avocado and pickle on whole wheat. And we do sing a little bah bah pickle every time the pickle jar comes out.
definitely avocado, cheese and hummus, or tomato, cheese and hummus. simple, but oh so good!
My favorite sandwich, especially if I’m packing lunch for myself or my daughter, is tempeh salad. We crumble tempeh, add raisins, apples, vegan mayo, mustard, and other fixins, mix it up, and eat it on crackers, toast, or on sandwiches with loads upon loads of pickles, spinach and tomatoes. It’s hearty, healthy, and filling!
Also, I hate to tell you this, but as a former pickle obsessed child I feel like I should mention that pickle obsession actually carries over into adulthood. I could easily eat a jar in a day.
I love a hummus, feta, spinach, tomato, red onion, and avocado sandwich! Yum!
crunchy PB & grape jelly… on multigrain or oat bread.
So funny post, as usual! I also thought you were about to get a bra for Lulu
Our favorite sandwich (it’s more of a dessert I suppose) is: a slice of whole wheat bread + Biscoff spread + sliced almonds + sliced strawberries.
Favorite sandwich is the classic: peanut butter and jelly on wheat bread, sometimes with some cinnamon on top. I also like to use frozen berries in place of jelly, it does get all soggy by lunch, but it’s still good!
Well honestly I haven’t really packed a sandwich in a while (daughter is gluten free) but before the madness I loooooooved avocado, sprouts, tomatoes and cucumbers with chipotle vegenaise on 100% whole wheat bread. I’m really excited to try their gluten free bread though! So far I’m not a fan, but I hope they change my mind
We love Rudy’s. Thanks for the headsup on Doodle for Lunch and for your great blog! I love grilled Daiya Cheese with tomato, or Vegan BLT = Baked Tofu, Lettuce and Tomato
I prefer either the classic strawberry jelly & mighty maple peanut butter on great harvest bread. However, previously (before going vegan) my favorite was provolone cheese, lettuce, sprouts and artichoke hearts. Not the same without the cheese!
what a great contest, love!!!
sandwich: my mom’s leftover meatloaf (cold from the fridge) with lots of ketchup.
Any sandwich with Nacho Mmm Sauce on it!
Great prize!!
My favorite sandwich is hummus, avocado, lettuce, tomato, onion and pickles! yummo! A close second is peanut butter, banana, cinnamon and honey!
My daughter and I love to share a toasted peanut butter and banana sandwich! I crave that sandwich!
sourdough bread (if only I could come over and get some of your homemade!
), homemade pesto mayo, cheese, lettuce, tomato, cucumber . . . mmmmmmm
Avocado, tomatoes, lettuce, and sprouts
I really like a toasted jam and Cheddar cheese sandwich., I know, sounds weird but is delish. I grew up going home for lunch and eating this with my dad, oh the memories! This is even better on my homemade whole wheat multi seed bread which I’m making tomorrow!
It may sound strange but I love a sandwich of hummus, avocado, tomato, lettuce and sprouts.
I LOVE that lunch-box art idea… fantastic
Favourite sandwich combo would have to be Vegemite and alfalfa sprouts ( I AM an Aussie, so forgive me for the Vegemite!) I always had this in my school lunches
How fun! I swear I’ve seen some Rudi’s Gluten-Free stuff in the Portland area (in the freezers). In fact, until this post I thought they only made gluten free! Will have to look for the regular.
Fave sandwich? Tomatoes, cucumbers, avocado, sprouts, cream cheese, and swiss cheese on a really grainy/seedy bread. Nom!
Thanks for the tip…I forgot to check the freezers!
My all time favorite sandwich is one I’ve been eating since high school. Whole wheat bread, jack cheese, cucumber, sprouts and lots of mayo. So yum! My kids aren’t big sandwich people. Maybe if they have their own sandwich box to put it in they will change their minds. Packaging can do a lot!
Apples, cheese and honey on toasted whole grain bread. Simply the best!
Here is my favorite sandwich. Roasted yams (in circles and not squashed), with Daiya pepperjack cheese – make like a grilled cheese sandwich on whole wheat bread. When toasted – add avocado. It is the BEST!!!
What a neat idea! Those sandwich boxes are so fun. My favorite sandwich combo is peanut butter, banana, and honey on whole wheat bread, grilled in my George Foreman! Seriously lacking in vegetables, but amazingly delicious.
This probably sounds disgusting but peanut butter and butter are my favorite sandwich combo. My dad would always make my sister and I these roll-up sandwiches. They tasted so amazing. When I need a little comfort now, I make this with almond butter and Earth Balance. Yum!
If I’m making it: Avocado, tomato, hummus, & basil. If someone else is making it: a tofu bahn mi!
I wish my 2 year old could draw something sandwich container-worthy. Although I guess who cares if it’s worthy – I’ll upload something anyway! Great contest.
My favorite sandwich has always been Peanut Butter and Pickle on toasted whole wheat! I’m guessing that’s one of Lulu’s favorites too, right?
I’m on an almond butter and honey kick right now
My favorite is avocado, tomato, cucumber, and alfalfa sprouts with red wine vinegar and cracked pepper on squaw bread. I love mashing up the avocado and spreading it on both slices of bread before putting it all together….mmmm, now I’m hungry!
Almond butter with sliced strawberries!
You can’t go wrong with good old peanut butter and honey.
What a cool promotion!! There’s an amazing sandwich at a place here in Austin – grilled tofu, grilled veggies, and basil vegenaise. I love it, and it would be easy enough to make at home, but grilling vegetables always seems like too much effort for “just a sandwich,” even when the sandwich is this amazing!
That is so cool. Now how do I get my four year old to be more artistic?? I have not one worthy art project to submit. I would try to do it for her but honestly she gets the lack of artistic-ness from ME.
the baret makes me laugh!!!
also, saw this & thought of you! (which makes me feel part-blog-stalker. but don’t worry, i live to far away to be do any harm!
)
http://imgfave.com/view/1960664
Rudi’s is also a favourite brand, when I don’t make my own breads! Now, I can’t choose just one favourite sandwich, so my two favourites are almond butter with blueberry jam and peanut butter, banana, and honey. Both on whole wheat.
For a minute there I thought you were taking Lulu shopping for bras for her. I was quite confused.
Hmmm, my hubby makes the best peanut butter and jelly sandwiches (strawberry freezer jam of course!) They often get me through the first trimester when nothing else sounds good
I love roasted veggie sandwiches. Spicy mustard on any sandwich is a good thing, too!
Love this! My favorite that I had daily at work for many years, causing coworkers to say “Tofu. Again. ” is complete sprouted protein bread with yellow mustard, teriyaki baked tofu and fresh spinach. Mmmm mmm. On a good day throw some avo on there, perhaps sprouts or tomato. Pickles if you are lucky and olive tapenade if you are just plain indulgent.
Easiest favorite: Cream cheese and avocado on sprouted wheat protein bread.
They have this bread at our local Costco. Love it! And those sandwich boxes? How cool is that? Fun stuff. My boys can draw some “footballs” (random lines).
hugs friend!
That bread looks delish, my fave combo is turkey and hummus
Sandwich combo?!?!?! Pb&j of course
Cheddar cheese, granny smith apple, and greek yogurt. My sister turned me on to it and it is delicious!
How awesome! My niece would love this (and so would we playing it with her haha!) Favorite sandwich: Honey wheat bread, lots of fresh spinach, fresh tomato, yellow mustard, turkey/tofu…OR the throw back sandwich: Honey wheat bread, warm & toasted, crunchy peanut butter, strawberry jam
with or without fritos
My fav comfort is turkey with Swiss in whole wheat with pickles!
Veggie pastrami/corned beef
Sauerkraut
Swiss cheese
Thousand Island dressing
Rye bread – grilled……reuben
It’s a tie amongst almond butter & fresh figs; egg salad made with boiled egg & hummus; and Moosewood’s black bean burgers. I use Peter Reinhart’s Oat Bran Broom bread, made into buns, for all of these.
Right now I am on a chicken salad kick. But I also love peanut butter and banana!
My kids love peanut butter & jelly and mama loves peanut butter & banana….. they’re both consumed daily! That sandwich box is awesome….. my boys would love it! Thanks for sharing.
Gotta go with the classic PB+J!
My kids love veggie burgers on tortilla wraps with humus, tomato, and avocado. Come to think of it,

Pumpernickel bagel, chive cream cheese, sliced tomato and lots of fresh ground pepper!
Oh, my favorite sandwich to make, my son goes crazy for these….homemade whole wheat bread with a falafel patty and cucumber chunks for a side dish. We raise our own wheat so it so much fresher and so full of flavor.
My favorite lunch combo is simple but delish: whole grain bread, raw almond butter, sliced banana, raisins, and cinnamon – YUM!!
That’s such a cute idea! Grilled cheese with black beans is corn is my favorite
What a great giveaway! My favorite lunch combo is veggie burger and hummus on a whole wheat wrap!!
This is probably a suck up answer but your Crack Wrap is my current favorite sandwich. My second favorite is the avocado, tomato and facon sandwich in EDBV.
Love the lunch box art offer – I am going to send this to everyone I know who has kids!
Gigi and I both stick out our tongues when we’re concentrating!
Does she even know she does it?! I don’t and have frequently been caught in public places with my tongue stuck out the corner of my mouth. Unite!
My favorite sandwich combo is jerk tofu w/ spinach, red peppers and sprouts on Ezekial bread. I’m going to give Rudi’s bread a try too!
Mina
my ultimate sandwich: big hunk of portobello mushroom, fresh spinach, avocado, and bbq sauce on toasted and lightly olive-oiled olive focaccia bread!!
such a treat
I love goat cheese with anything…mushrooms, peppers or sweet with figs and honey
Wow what a great contest. Now off to make some cool art with my kiddo!
Doh! I forgot to leave a sandwich combo! Archer prefers just plain Sunbutter.

How about a tortilla with peanut butter and jam then wrap around a banana
My favorite is a whole wheat wrap with homemade lemon hummus, avocado, roasted red peppers and baby spinach. Yum!

Thick toasted grainy bread with almond butter and banana. Yummy!
I can’t wait to tell my son about the sandwich boxes; thanks!!!! Our current favorite sandwich is a wrap with a little Veganaise, tempeh bacon, tomato, avocado, pickles, and a tiny sprinkle of Diaya. SO amazing–could eat them every day!
Today I have Nutella & Fluff on Rudi’s spelt organic bread. It is delicious. Oh, and an orange.
Peanut butter and banana !
avacado, mustard, tomatoes & onions on sprouted grain. times 3.
My daughter has taken a cheese and avocado sandwich for lunch every day for the last three years (her request). My favorite is a “nutty vegetarian” – sunflower seeds, thinly sliced apple, lettuce, spouts if I have them, and….cheese and avocado.
Red pepper, spinach and kalamata olives….yum!
For breakfast, I like GF toast with coconut spread and honey soynut butter! For lunch, I like hummus with tomato and avocado!

fresh bread, thick tomato slices, salt & pepper, mayo… summer time in a sandwich
Good old PB & J for me! I like to mix it up with different nut butters and jams though

I looove turkey, cheese, avocado, cucumber and lettuce all on a really fresh bun… it’s the best!

I enjoy avocado, ranch dressing, lettuce, tomato and black bean veggie burger on a whole wheat bun!! Absolutely delish and perfect for the summer season!
Avocado, lettuce, tomato, onion!
I love rudi’s and not only their products but I really feel like they are a good company that really cares about their customers!
I recently opened a can of pumpkin and have been incorporating it into my lunches! Some of my favorite lunch combinations have been pumpkin/hummus tortilla pizzas and pumpkin/apple “quesadillas”.
This might not be one your girls would like (or maybe they would?), but I love grilled cheese with brie and apples. Sooo good.
Apple, strawberry, spinach, avocado cucumber and mushroom on a tortilla (made from the recipe in your book) with a little hummus (a little crazy, I know).
avocado, sprouts, hummus, tomato, cucumber… mmmm sandwiches! especially one that is made by someone else
Nothing better than a mile high veggie sandwich, loaded with every veggie imaginable. Also love a dab of vegannaise and avocado, pickles, black olives, and maybe even a few potato chips for added crunch.
What an awesome idea! Favorite combo? Hmmmm….Avocado, spinach, hummus, roasted red peppers, and apple!
Ooh… turkey avacado with red onion and sprouts…that’s definitely among my favorites.
My favorite sandwich is hummus, red bell peppers, spinach and tomato on a nice hearty bread (I am currently making sunflower and flaxseed ww bread that is to die for). My daughter’s fav is pb&j – go figure and my son’s is cream cheese and jelly.
Rye bread, végé pâté, cucumber, tomatoes and lots of alfalfa! So goooooood!
I still really love at good PB&J. Can’t go wrong with a lunchbox classic!
Thanks for sharing! The boxes are such a cute idea! My kids will eat nothing but peanut butter and jelly… but I love a tomato/basil/mozzarella sandwich, especially if the veggies are from my garden.
I love tofu loaded with spinach, tomato, sprouts, and hummus rolled in a tortilla! Its more of a wrap, but very tasty!
First of all, I LOVE, LOVE, LOVE Rudi’s! My daughter is dairy/egg allergic and it is the only vegan bread I can find that isn’t full of crap. My fave sandwich combo (this week) is almond butter & banana.
In my house, our current go to sandwich is what we call a PLT – pickles, lettuce and tomatoes with hummus as the spread on sprouted grain bread. My 14 year old is also a pickle fiend.
Love Rudi’s! My favorite sandwich combo is kind of weird but I love it: Raisin walnut bread with aged white cheddar, thinly sliced onions, apricot jam, mustard and field greens. I was on a kick where I ate those every day for about two weeks.
Any sandwich with avocado on it! Black bean dip, avocado, lettuce & mango salsa is a new favorite.
My favorite sandwich combo is avocado, hummus and havarti or pepper jack cheese on some hearty, whole wheat bread. Mmmmm
My favorite sandwich is simple! I love hummus wrapped up in tortillas with olives inside
Grilled Peanut Butter and Banana!
Like many others, I love some avocado on a sandwich. Add whatever else. I really just love slightly smushed avocado on toast with salt and pepper. Simple and delicious!
Sooooo I have a really weird fave sandwich – I call it Lisa’s fabulous sandwich…pumpernickel bread, lettuce , tomato, cucumber, avocado , mustard. And sometimes peppered Tofurky!
My favorite sandwich is homemade white whole wheat bread with Canola Harvest margarine, sunflower seed butter, and homemade raspberry (or depending on the mood, strawberry) jam. On a day that we have bananas in the house, I will slice some on as well. Would you look at that… I am making myself hungry…
The kids is the standard PB&J, they’re purists. I favor TPLTA&H on DKB. Translation: Turkey, pickles, lettuce, tomato, avocado, and hummus on Daves Killer Bread.
Peanut butter and banana – my favorite anytime meal…
I am boring. I just like turkey, mustard lettuce and tomato
I would love to try the Rudi’s products. I’ve seen them at Whole Foods, but I haven’t tried them yet. Here is my current sandwich combo. Whole grain bread, pesto, mozzerella cheese, coconut bacon, spinach – toasted like a grilled cheese. Yum!
It might not be a favorite with the kids, but one of my favorite combos is thin sliced, roasted sweet potato or butternut squash, apple, dried cranberries or cranberry sauce, mixed greens and goat cheese.
My favorite combo is hummus, spinach, cucumber, pickles, and avocado.
whole wheat bread with roasted red pepper humus, sliced cucumber, tomatoes, onion, green pepper and a few leafs of spinach!
I’m pregnant with #2 and all I wanna eat these days are peanut butter and banana sandwiches on whole wheat.
My fav is the faux tuna I make: 1 can of garbanzos smahed up like tuna in the food prcessor, with diced red onion, diced celery, finely chopped parsley, finely chopped red bell pepper, some Herbmare herb sale, black pepper, 1 lag garclic clove finely chopped, 2 T dill pickle relish and 1 T sweet pickle relish, 1 1/2 tsps Kelp powder (gives it that familiar slightly fish taste), enough Vegenaise to bring together. To this on some great toasted whole grain bread, add some lucious tomatoes in season only, some romaine lettuce or some spinach, and top if off with4 or 5 slices of wax peppers (we can our own) but Bruno’s makes a fairly good wax pepper in a pinch. What a great sandwich. The leftovers keep well in refrig. and are wonderful on crackers as a spread. Oh…I always add a dash or so or Cholula or Siracha hot sauce to my spread before I put the sandwich top on. I think I will have to make this sandwich this weekend.
My favorite is almond butter and strawberry perserves.
My favorite is almond butter and raspberry jam on cranberry walnut bread.
Well, now I have a million sandwich ideas that I want to try!
I’d have to say a BLT. Maybe a BLTA (avacado). I don’t have one often, but when I do I realize what a perfect combo it is.
Spinach, tomato, mushrooms, red onions, sprouts, and a garlic and herb cheese spread (like Alouette). I ordered this sandwich in a restaurant and it was so good I had to recreate it at home!
Umm….I’m in my 30′s (gasp) and will admit that my favorite sandwich is PB & J (double gasp!) I can’t believe I just admiited that
Maybe it’s the forever kid inside of me…..plus it travels well, no refridgeration needed, etc. Thanks to you and Rudi’s for the giveaway….your girls are just too cute for words!!
Hummus and veggies! Yummy!
My favorite sandwich combo is veggie bacon, THICK fresh out of the garden tomato slices, cheddar cheese and lettuce on whole wheat. I CAN’T wait for fresh tomatoes!!!!!
My favorite sandwich is a tie between peanut butter and honey and tomato and cheese with a good medium sharp cheddar cheese. Everything has to be sliced thin for the real tomato and cheese taste experience. I also like to use Olive Oil mayo rather than the higher fat regular mayo for this.
My favorite sandwich is hummus, tabbouleh, garlic sauce and pickles! What an awesome promotion Rudi’s is having, I can’t wait to tell my friends with kids about it, thanks for sharing!
BTW I LOVE this giveaway, I’m getting so many great sandwich ideas!
Honestly…any sandwich my mom makes. For some reason I can’t make a sandwich as good as she can. Why is that?! Whenever I go home to visit I always ask her to make one for me.
This is so cool for my kiddos, (uh and mom too). When I married my husband, I thought he was crazy, because he mixes his peanut butter and jelly together in a bowl and then spreads on the bread. That is the only way my kids will eat it. My kids are now 12, 9, and 7. This is still their favorite lunch.
So many great sandwich ideas! My 10 year-old son’s favorite packed school lunch sandwich is hummus, spinach, avocado, and spicy mustard. The other contender is bananas and peanut butter (or almond butter) – for all three of my kids.
That is the coolest thing ever! I knew I loved Rudi’s for a reason other than yummy tasting products!
My favorite (and my twins) sandwich is homemade roasted garlic hummus with shredded carrots, zucchini and pickles. Mmmmmm!
Rudi’s muti-grain gluten-free is amazing! Best gluten-free bread I’ve found. It’s good with basically anything, but last week I made grilled Albuquerque Turkey sandwiches and they were fabulous (turkey, cheddar, green chili and avocado)!
And yes, I did just post about a meat and cheese filled sandwich on a vegan blog. I have no sense of appropriateness. I have accepted this.
My favorite sandwich combo, and I’m not sure it counts as a “sandwich”, is a homemade black bean burger with lettuce, tomato, and onion. May sound boring but I can’t get enough of it!
Ooh my favourite sandwich combo right now is vegan cream cheese mixed with garlic and herbs, sprouts and cucumber on multigrain. Yum! I also love PB & J of course…
Probably the Mushroom Melt at Potbelly with everything, hold the onions. DELICIOUS!!

Good old pb&j here at our house. Can’t go wrong with a classic.
Mt kids and i are loving pb and banana lately!
Almond Butter, Banana and Honey! Yummy!
My favorite sandwich ever is adapted from the blog everybody likes sandwiches. It is soft french bread, olive tapenade, hummus, fried red onions, roasted red peppers and grated carrots. I don’t know why, but the combo is heavenly. And I never knew olive tapenade and hummus were so easy to make at home until I discovered this. You can also include avocado, tomato, sprouts and provolone cheese if you’re feeling adventurous. Mmm, I’m hungry now…
Spicy Hummus & avocado is my fav!
Veggies all the way, lettuce, tomato, sweet peppers, pepperocini, cucumbers, onions, you name it. The more vegetables the better!!! Sometimes cheese, oil & vinegar, sometimes not!!
PB&J (strawberry jam) and just for crunch and saltiness slip a few potato chips on top of the jam. Yummm. Reminds me of summer picnics everytime. Love the artwork sandwich box – has to be the coolest thing ever!
Those lunchboxes rock! My favorite sammy is probably roasted veggies with hummus and feta and spicy pepper spread, grilled and melty and messy. And now, I’m hungry…
Sunbutter and strawberry jam with banana slices. Yum. I think I need to go make a sandwich now.
For me: almond butter, cocoa powder, and cinnamon on whole-wheat wrap. Ok, so it’s more like dessert…
For my often bizarre taste-budded 3 year-old: pepper jack cheese and peanut butter. It was all I could do not to yak when she requested this from her 12 week pregnant mommy

I love (on whole wheat wrap or bread): greek yogurt (or hummus if going dairy-free), sunflower sprouts, shredded carrot, avocado and walnuts.

This is so cool – thanks for posting!
And, I’m loving all the sandwich ideas – I’m excited to give some new ideas a try!
My kids go to “sandwiches” are cheese rolls (just cheese warmed in a tortilla and rolled into a warm, gooey mess) and plain old PB&J. As for me – avocado, dijon mustard and whatever other veggies, peppers and/or pickles may be in my fridge at the moment.
Help! I’m having a vegan over for dinner next week. What do I make???
Red onion, cucumber, mango, Fakin’ Bacon Tempeh and Veganaisse! Yum!
This is a kickback to my own childhood days: bologna, ketchup, & cheese… num!
I don’t make it very often but I love a fried egg with kale and cheese on a bagel. Now time to get my boys coloring something for their sandwiches!
I love just about any veggie sandwich, but I think my favorite is simply avocado, cheese and tomato.
Almond Butter or TJ’s Sunflower butter and banana- yum!
Almond butter and bananas, all the way. Sometimes some vegan marshmallow fluff if I’m feeling whimsical.
Avocado, lettuce, and tomato (bacon optional for vegetarians) with no bread (I don’t eat much bread). Avocado is my go-to snack and even sometimes breakfast, so it’s amazing. You can also make an avocado grilled cheese, which I’ve been seeing all over Pinterest and thinking about giving a go.
cucumber, tomato, feta cheese and hummus with some peppers on whole grain. My husband just ordered this for me for my lunch today from Panara. It was awesome!
Thanksgiving Sandwich: Cream cheese and cranberry jelly….with turkey.

That looks just like the art set I got when I was a child when we visited FAO schwarz…
oh sweet heavens, what happens to your boobs after having kids? im 26 (nearing 27) and am thinking kids should be around the corner for me, but everywhere i turn i hear all these reasons not to!!
I like Turley, American Cheese, bacon, avocado, and tomato!
I love tempeh bacon, avocado, spinach, sprouts, and tomato!
Lots of avocados sandwiches, but here’s another one! I like a hearty multi-grain bread, toasted + half a sliced avocado + a sprinkle of freshly shredded parm cheese + a huge dollop of alfalfa sprouts + a healthy spoon of italian dressing (or balsamic & vinegar).
Oooh, this would be perfect for my girls! My daughter’s favorite sandwich is “squished-up cheese” (i.e. grilled cheese) and mine is hummus, sprouts, avocado, tomatoes, cheese, grated carrots and thinly sliced cucumber. My local organic food store sells a sandwich similar to this that is my inspiration, and I make it often at home!
