Help Us Create the Ultimate Sammie for National Sandwich Day 2011!
The following is a post sponsored by Arnold Bread. For our sponsored post policy, click here.
There’s nothing like chomping into a good sandwich. Whether it’s for lunch, dinner, or heck, even breakfast (breakfast sandwiches are ah-mazing!), we’re a fan of the sammie. So when Arnold Bread (who also makes Brownberry and Oroweat breads), asked us to work with them in promoting National Sandwich Day 2011 and creating a special sandwich recipe to celebrate the day, we were thrilled. Like in-carb-heaven thrilled.
Except, well, we need some help. Sure, we whip things up in the kitchen every now and again, but it’s usually by either following a recipe or a need—as in, we only have [enter sad ingredient] and [enter another sad ingredient] in the cabinet so how can we still eat dinner? So we’re asking all of you, dear readers, to brainstorm with us. We’d like to submit a recipe that’s healthy, fun and a touch unique—definitely not your usual turkey on wheat with light mayo and a tomato slice. Something snazzy…something memorable…something very FBG.
So tell us, what’s on your favorite sammie? What fun taste combos do you like? Salty? Sweet? Meaty? Cheesy? Vegetarian? What ingredients are a must in an ultimate sandwich? Leave a comment by the end of the week with your sandwich thoughts and ideas, and we’ll even give a few free Arnold Bread coupons to a few lucky commenters in exchange for their help.
Thank you in advance for your sandwich brilliance! —Jenn

oh…..I’m an open-faced sammie kind of girl. A nice dense piece of whole grain bread starts it off. Add a tbsp of homemade pesto (okay, you can cheat with a store-bought if you MUST). Then go to your garden and pick the fresh tomatoes that are finally in season, especially if they are heirloom. Add 2-3 layers of thinly sliced tomatoes. Next zest it up with a few basil leaves and then thinly sliced buffalo mozzarella. Broil the whole thing for about 1-2 minutes and enjoy every last bite!
I have always been crazy about peanut butter and banana sandwiches!! But I also LOVE the “Grilled Cheese Supreme” at a local restaurant and try to recreate it at home sometimes: It’s Danish Fontina and Fiscalini cheddar cheese, Granny Smith apples and fig jam on grilled Challah
My daughter has been requesting a brie and raspberry fruit spread sandwich in her lunch almost every day. I usually melt the cheese in the microwave for a few seconds to make it spread easier. It makes a great tea or finger sandwich for parties. I would like to come up with a way to make it a little more hearty. Maybe adding grilled sweet onions and some nice leafy lettuce would be good.
Favorite sandwich recipe: peanut butter, banana slices and lots of honey drizzled on top!
My favorite sandwich is Hummus, roasted red pepper, and tomato. Keep it fresh simple and light.
I think that the grilled cheese sandwich sounds wonderful.
One word: AVOCADO. Pretty much any sandwich with avocado is one I want to be eating. Preferably, right now.
Fave sandwich ever: Herb and Garlic cheese spread (either light cream cheese or laughing cow). Mustard, mixed greens, cucumber and salt and pepper on a whole wheat bun. So simple, and I almost always have the ingredients on hand!
my favorite sandwich would have to be my mom’s tuna fish salad sandwich…nobody can make it better than mom:)
Sliced boiled egg, pesto and tomato!
