This is a compensated review from BlogHer and Wonder®
*Update! And the winner is…. Deb of the highly acclaimed Deb on the Rocks! Congratulations, Deb!
Do we have any bread lovers in the houuuuuuuse?
Me? I am a HUGE fan of bread. So is my family. Bread is a great vehicle for so many things… peanut-butter, jelly, meats, butter (oh sweet butter…) and let’s not forget a nice little cinnamon-sugar combo when one toasts up a slice of BREAD. Mmmm… yum… cinnamon toast…
We went through a lion’s share of bread this summer. We headed to a local beach quite a bit, and in an effort to save a few extra bucks, we packed sandwiches instead of swinging through a place that would serve us prepared food through a window. IfyouknowwhatImean. I might even go so far as to say we could call Summer 2009 “Our Summer of Sandwiches”.
So, naturally, wouldn’t fate bring bread to me… to write about… to video… to share about it – BREAD… No WONDER! *pun intended*
“But Jenny! Isn’t Wonder® white bread? You feed your kids white bread? Is white bread nutritious?”
Yep. Wonder® is white, and it is deeelicious white bread! Obviously, it’s nummy and soft, but did you know just two slices of Wonder® Classic White Bread have as much calcium as an eight ounce glass of milk (and no trans fat)? It’s a nice alternative.
It is also comparative to the calcium in spinach and red beans. I am not saying to not give milk, spinach or beans to your family… I’m just sayin’, there is another option if you find the kiddos don’t want the green stuff. AND one can easily beef-up a slice of Wonder® Bread with almond butter and a few slices of banana… bada-boom-bada-bing — calcium, protein and potassium to satiate a hungry little belly.
It was no surprise to me that in our own taste-test, my offspring loved the bread. We be bread people. BUT, I got it on video anyway. However, it WAS a surprise to me when my oldest 2 broke out into a little duet. I know I am a bit partial, but my kids are awesome *wipes tear*. Must be those strong bones…
Should I book an agent? *sniff* I smell fame. I will force them to live my dream. Kidding. I’m kidding about “kidding”. Kidding. Not…

In the summer a PB&J with strawberry jam and in the winter a grilled cheese
Almond butter or natural peanut butter. I know, I’m not very adventurous.
We have several favorites, the sandwich-loving family that we are.
Almond butter and homemade blackberry jam (drooling at the thought)
Turkey breast, mayo, cranberry sauce, romaine and tomato
my kids and hubby love grilled cheese (*yawn*)
and when I was preggers, I *craved* BLTs like there was no tomorrow.
We add Jif peanut butter and bananas to our delicious Wonder® sandwiches to make them even more nutritious.
We add veggies to our sandwiches. Depending on the sandwich, we add tomatoes, lettuce, onions, olives, avocado, celery (chopped up for tuna).

At my house, we love peanut butter and my homemade blueberry jam- yes there is sugar in the jam but we grow the berries and they are organic
All natural Peanut butter
I like to use hummus instead of mayo. My kids never even know and it adds some extra nutrition.
I tweeted the giveaway also:

We like adding tomato, cheese, and lettuce to out Wonderbread sandwiches. We also make Peanut Butter sandwiches with banana!
Fun and tasty. Thanks!
I love to make a hummus, lettuce, tomato, and avocado sandwich!
I love spreading avacado on my bread instead of mayo! Yum. The husband has started using the Kraft olive oil mayo on his with some turkey. Working on getting the kiddos to eat veggies on their sandwich but they love them some pb&j.
I shake a little wheatgerm on the bread then who cares what I put with it – already healthy. In a pinch, a little flaxseed meal. voila. They never know.
I would have 2 say BLT sandwiches, with cheese

Definitely vegetables. We add lots of vegetables to sandwiches!
The number one is grilled cheese!
I like roasted turkey breast (especially leftover from holiday turkeys), its low fat, high protein, and makes a perfect sandwich!
I’m following you on Twitter and twitted about this giveaway with a link to it

In my family, we use organic peanut butter and sugar free or low sugar jelly on our peanut butter and jelly sandwiches with wonderbread to make the sandwiches more nutritious.

I love to toast my bread and add hummus! Sometimes I even add it to sandwiches when I use turkey!
I toast the bread then add a cheese and lean ground beef patty to it. You can make a tuna melt this way too. Adding lettuce and tomatoes to sandwhiches makes them better too.
I try to use very small amounts of things like mayo or butter and pile on the veggies…tomato, onion, cuke, lettuce, olives. Mmmm
Here’s my tweet about this great giveaway!

My kids actually like open-face Wonder Bread sandwiches — and have two favorites:
Toasted Wonder Bread with reduced fat creamy peanut butter & drizzled honey
AND
Wonder Bread with sliced avocado, topped with Meunster cheese (then melted!)
Both taste *Wonder*ful!!!
We toast bread and add P & j…with a glass of fat free milk. Mmmmm!
Peanut Butter and bananas for a quick, healthy breakfast.

We add protein! Turkey, Ham, or PB (and Jelly). For mom (me) I also load up with veggies. The kids only will add lettuce.

Lots of peanut butter and banana sandwiches around here. Sometimes we put raisins on it, too.
Grilled Cheese is always a favorite! My fiancee likes peanut butter and sweet pickles. He also likes peanut butter and miracle whip…yuck!! We also like cream cheese and ham! This giveaway would be really helpful to our family!!! We all love Wonder Bread and the Visa card would be great for the holidays! Thanks for the chance! bekki1820cb@gmail.com
Hubby leaves in the morning pretty early, 6am. So I like to send him off with a bacon/scrambled eggs/cheese on toast. That way he doesn’t have to fight the urge to pull into a drive in on the way to work, or grab something out of the vending machine once he is in his office.

I like to add turkey and swiss cheese and tomato.
