Bread? It's too many points!

Bread can be a real delimma, because it is so tasty that we can't give it up, and yet it's high in points usually. Well I have found a couple of tasty solutions that I wanted to share with you. When I want bread for toast or sandwhichs, I usually turn to either sour dough bread (which is lower in fat and is good for you because of the extra acids) or this Prairie Grain Bread that we can get here in UT. This particular bread is only a point per slice. It is a nice heavy bread, so when you finish your sandwich (if you can eat the whole thing) you are nice and full. And that fullness is going to last! They do have several kinds, and not all of them are this low in points, so you have to watch that.

The other tasty find of the week are these multi-grain thin buns. I was walking past the bread, and they just kind of jumped out at me (and into my cart). They are only 1 point for a whole bun, really that is amazing! They are low in calories, high in fiber and that's what keeps the point count down. They tasted really good and I didn't even feel like I was missing out. We made turkey burgers with lean ground turkey, and it was so yummy!!!

The key to these kinds of finds at your store is one, take your time. I like to give myself plenty of time when I go grocrey shopping so I can enjoy the experience. I always make sure I've gone to the bathroom (don't ask) and that I've eaten. Then I make my menus and prepare a list. But while I'm there, I don't just rush to get everything on my list. I take time to look at things that maybe I'll want to try next week. I have my point slider out so I can check any item first. I'll share a couple other tasty finds later this week.
