Cybros, Inc Sprouted Grain Bread Review

The other day I got a big box of fresh baked bread from The Sprouted Bakehouse.  It included a baguette, raisin bread, 7 grain, and a large package of dinner rolls.  It looked great and very fresh, it was super soft and looked like it was just baked.  My first instinct was to look at the labels, and I was pleased to see there are about 65 calories per slice and no high fructose corn syrup. or any other sweeteners except for molasses!  The list of grains is quite impressive.

This morning, my oldest son, who loves raisin bread, decided on a piece for his breakfast.  I don't eat raisins (I've said I'm picky, right?)  and his response to the first bite "Mmmmm".  If an 8 year old likes it, you know it must past the test!

The regular bread made delicious peanut butter and jelly sandwiches for lunch, and got rave reviews.  Being soft but not soggy after sitting in a lunch box with jelly all day speaks strongly of a bread!

And for the grand finale, I made meat ball sandwiches tonight!  I made sausage and ground beef meatballs and flattened them a little bit to work better for the sandwiches, and used some spaghetti sauce I had, toasted the baguette with some mozzerella cheese and was quite please how quickly the sandwiches disappeared!  So fast I forgot to get a picture!  The bread didn't get hard in the oven and didn't fall apart under the sauce, which is a plus when you have 3 small boys eating, nothing worse than a meatball sandwich falling apart mid bite.

I am so pleased with how healthy this bread is, and how tasty it is.  Bread is the one thing I try to make and am not usually successful with.  I think I will be getting some more quickly shipped fresh bread!

I won this from It's Yummilicious and all opinions are mine alone.  Thank you It's Yummilicious and The Sprouted Bake House!

St Patrick's Day!

St Patrick's Day is this Saturday!  My kids are convinced that because my husband is of Irish decent that he is friends with the Leprechauns (I had nothing to do with that haha).  So every year they plague him with a million questions and ask if he can let them see one, very cute.  This year I think I'm going to make basic cupcakes with just a bit of green food coloring, it doesn't take much I learned after making my son's birthday cake this past February and used less than half the food coloring it called for and it was still very red.  And for dinner I'll be attempting to make my first corned beef brisket with cabbage, carrots and boxtys.  Have you had a boxty? They are really yummy! 

 All you need is cold mashed potatoes, I be sure to add cheese and garlic, then make into small balls.  I dip mine in egg then cover in bread crumbs, I usually use panko and regular bread crumbs.  Fry until golden brown.  Simple Irish food!  And my boys all love them too!  I first had them at McGuire's and they are a splurge but worth it if you love potatoes! 

  I usually try to find a fitting craft to do, which having all boys is difficult, but this year, we are going to be very busy between the Louisville Kid's Fair, the boys get to see Spongebob and lots of other neat stuff AND we are going to be tilling the yard for our garden.  I am so excited that spring sprung a bit early this year, a week ago we had snow, now it is 80 degrees, so now we get to think veggies and get to work.  We spent about 70 dollars on seeds and are hoping that will yield enough produce to freeze some for next winter too.  

Busy weekend ahead!  Hope you all have the Luck of the Irish!  

What are you going to do for Easter?

This is the first Easter in a long time that I'm away from my parents!  I'm not huge on a lot of Easter festivities because of all the candy but I do enjoy seeing the boys get excited for their baskets and egg hunting.  Our Easter bunny usually leaves each of the boys a book or a toy and just a few pieces of candy including of course Peeps!  I love those little chicks and bunnies especially once they are a little stale.  We usually read a book to teach the boys what Easter is really about.  What are your Easter traditions?

P.S. The Peeps page has a giveaway for an awesome Easter basket!
