hey you guys! do you have a favorite bread? you thought i was talking about money didn't you. no i'm talking about bread bread.

my husband just discovered that the only reason he likes toast is because the bread we normally buy is so wonderful. to save money (ok save some bread) we tried a cheaper brand, and now his love for his morning butter and toast has slipped away. what's the good stuff he misses? we call it "green" bread. but it's really orowheat's "oatnut" bread. (has a green label.) and i have a hunch that stuff is pretty popular.

a store i used to go to wasn't good at keeping it on the shelves, so when they did stock it, people like me would buy several loavesat a time. (yes, hoarding is bad. i know.) now i don't have that problem... but i usually notice that the green bread is never fully stocked like the other breads. and more than once i've had to climb up the shelves to pull the last loaf of green bread from the waaayyyyy back.

so any other oatnut lovers out there? if not, what's your favorite bread?

Ken always buys the Orowhead whole wheat bread-YUCKO!! If I'm gonna eat bread, it's plain old white bread--just the store brand-Kroger or whatever-as long as it's fresh!! I've been told whole grains are the best-but they are the "yuckiest" to me LOL! (is that a word?)

I have to stay away from bread as much as possible, but my three favorite kinds are: Jewish Rye, Raisin Cinnamon, and Banana.

We used to make our own bread before our bread machine broke and it made the BEST bread, whatever we made.

Andrea,

First off, I avoid white bread.

Second, I eat all-wheat bread. Most any brand will do. I generally eat bread twice a week.

kenswife -- tell ken to buy the orowheat "oatnut." trust me. it's much different and i think much better. i'll go so far as to say you'll really like it!

pbmom and chassan -- you guys must eat quite healthily. i was going to say i don't eat white bread but i just realized i ate a white hamburger roll last night. i started buying the wheat burger and hotdog rolls already... but i'm not always the one doing the shopping. ;-)

pbmom -- my favorite bread machine recipe is cheddar beer bread. awesome with any barbecue. get yourself a new machine and i'll pass on the recipe!

I like the Kroger Private Select sweet, dark wheat.

Just don't look at the caloric content on it. Yikes.

I was surprised that most bread contains high fructose corn syrup. It's just in everything isn't it? A leading cause of obesity. I didn't realize the bread I was buying for Jeff had it in it. It took me like 10 minutes of reading labels before I found one that didn't that was going to be just as tasty for him. I think that is also why food costs are going up, in addition to the fuel charges (because corn prices are and HFCS is in everything).
