Families facing the back‑to‑school rush now have a free resource to help plan kid‑friendly lunches. Nature’s Own has teamed with the Make‑A‑Wish foundation to launch a digital cookbook titled Sandwishes, featuring sandwich recipes inspired by wishes children.
What the cookbook offers
The online collection includes creative combos such as a ham, apple and Swiss cheese sandwich, a loaded BLT with avocado and cheddar, and a green garden “Glowwich” with pesto. All recipes use Nature’s Own Honey Wheat bread and are designed to appeal to picky eaters while adding a fun twist.
Community partnership
The initiative is part of a multi‑year partnership that includes a $500,000 donation to the Make‑A‑Wish foundation, special‑edition packaging, and a virtual “Well Wishes” wall where shoppers can leave messages for wish kids. Actor and WWE superstar John Cena serves as the campaign’s “Breaducator,” helping spread the word.
Why it matters for families
Planning lunches ahead of the school year can reduce weekday stress. By offering a set of easy, nutritious sandwich ideas, the cookbook helps parents streamline meal prep, save time, and keep children satisfied with wholesome options.
How to access
The cookbook is completely free to browse online. Parents can visit the Nature’s Own website or the Make‑A‑Wish page to view the recipes and download the collection.
In addition to the sandwich ideas, the release aligns with USA TODAY’s Fall Reset shopping guide, which emphasizes meal planning and grocery‑shopping strategies for busy families.
