Making a Caprese Sandwich with Roman Meal Bread and a Giveaway!

One of the big changes I’ve instituted as part of my efforts to keep our family as healthy as possible is a switch to only using whole grain products in our diets. I know how important diet and an active lifestyle are to good health and there is nothing more important than that. Studies have shown that eating whole grains may reduce the risk of heart disease and help with digestion and weight management. Now, try to tell someone like my husband who grew up eating white bread his whole life that he has to switch to whole grain and you will get an idea for how hard it was for me to make the switch in our household. Of course the kids preferred “Daddy’s bread” up until now too. Whole grain bread is also a good source for vitamin D, calcium, and fiber so I knew it was worth the battle. The trick was finding a bread that tasted as delicious to them as their beloved white bread they were used to.

Part of what makes it so good is that Roman Meal Bread is as fresh as you can get without buying it right from the baker or making it yourself. The company has been family owned and operated since 1912, and their baked fresh, locally initiative means the bread is always baked fresh locally in partnership with regional bakeries across America. It is then delivered right to the local grocery store never having been frozen or traveled long distances. Just two slices of Roman Meal bread has more than 40% of the daily recommendation of whole grains in your diet. The delicious combination of whole wheat, wheat bran, wheat germ, flaxmeal, whole rye, combined with tastes of honey and molasses makes it truly unique.DSC_1517

Through the month of September, Roman Meal is having a Baked Fresh Sweepstakes where one grand prize winner will receive $2,500! Several other winners will win free bread coupons as well. All entrants will receive a $1 off coupon when you enter the sweepstakes, so why not.

When you go to the website you can also find great recipes to try out that are really tasty. I decided to try a few of these recipes and some new ones using Roman Meal Bread. I have been doing a lot of turkey sandwiches for the kids lunches using this bread with much success. I decided to switch things up for dinner recently by doing a Caprese Sandwich using the Roman Meal Bread.Caprese Sandwich

    That is one awesome looking sandwich. I’m totally hungry now! We usually eat white bread and have been thinking about making a switch. I think I’ll give the Roman Meal Bread a shot. 🙂

    The sandwich you made looks REALLY good, but I would LOVE to use the bread for French Toast — the PERFECT fall breakfast (and pretty good for dinner, too)!

    That’s one delicious looking sandwich! I’ll have to whip one up this weekend. I already have all the ingredients handy. I’ve actually never bought Roman Meal bread, but I’ll have to give it a try.

    I like Roman Meal bread for grilled cheese sandwiches with thinly slice tomato and dill pickle slices cooked between the bread and cheese.

    The sandwich I’d use Roman Bread for is a Roast Beef Club. I’m really in the mood for a sandwich now…

    For the first time trying this bread, I’d go the simple route to enjoy the bread. I’d toast it and apply butter and jam and enjoy it with a huge mug of tea. That’s the Roman Tea Therapy 🙂
