Lunch Will Never be the Same

I'm not a cook.

I strive to be, but as documented in a national magazine I need a little help in that arena.

And preparing lunch is no exception.

Why? 

Well, the dilemma for me during this noontime nuttiness is I'm short on time {aren't we all}, and I don't want to make something too elaborate as I'm saving the big guns for dinner.

Which leads to something slapped between two slices of bread. Often peanut butter and jelly on white bread no less.

Not the healthiest.

So, when I was emailed by BuzzAgent about a new campaign for Brownberry Health-Full Bread I couldn't sign up fast enough.

This bread is great!

If you look at the label the health benefits are obvious. First of all it has 4 grams of protein, 4 grams of fiber and only 18 grams of carbs, and it's filled with healthy whole grains like flax seeds and oats.

But the BEST part is the kids ate it...like scarffed it down. I was worried with my picky eaters, but they loved it. I think because even though it's a whole wheat bread it's still soft. I think it's softer than the usual white bread we buy.

Now that I have this new bread in my lunchtime arsenal it's time to change out the usual PB&J and try something different.

Since EVERYONE and I mean EVERYONE has been raving about curry and putting it in everything I figured I'd try the Chicken Curry Salad recipe on the Health-Full Breads website.

This was so yummy!

I loved all the flavors...although I might swap the celery out for something else, like apple, but we'll see.

Included in my BzzCampaign were a couple of coupons to share with friends and of course I had to share one with my friend Casey over at Your Daily Dose of FIT, because I knew she would make something totally awesome with this bread. Check out her recipe for Clean Eating Curried Turkey Burger Sliders. YUM! I told you curry was the "in" thing.

Who knew bread could change your perspective on mealtime, but this truly does and it will now be a regular at our house.
