Giveaway Results: 75 Loaves of Sara Lee Bread

We try to buy whole grain products such as bread, pasta, etc. No more white bread for us!

The easiest way we have done this is to eat whole grain breads and whole wheat pasta. My husband and daughter never noticed the difference in the pasta, and I think it has a better flavor. We’re also working on incorporating more oatmeal into our diets – starting the day off with a hot, steaming bowl really hits the spot in the wintertime! Thanks!

When shopping I always purchase the variety with “whole grains” (for example Goldfish, bread, waffles). They never taste any different! I have to same policy when it comes to calcium fortified food.

I am so excited to win. Thanks for the chance to enter

brown rice in stead of white.

Yeah for free bread! My boys (4 year old twins) are really picky eaters so we sneak in whole grains whenever possible.
Using whole grain pasta is my favorite way to sneak it in and the boys never know the difference. We also love to have cheese toast for breakfast on whole grain bread which is a great way to start our busy days!
Thanks for the opportunity to win

This is a fantastic giveaway! Kudos to Sara Lee! My kids and I only eat whole grain bread! I figured they get enough “junk” at school that I would make sure they get the right foods here at home. I use whole grain bread for everything that calls for bread even our Thanksgiving stuffing!
Thanks for sharing this with us in TwitterVille!

I try to get the whole grain white bread instead of plain ole white, and have been using more wheat pasta.

I try to use whole-wheat flour in cooking, even for some applications you wouldn’t expect. Making a “white sauce” out of whole wheat flour tastes the same, but isn’t exactly “white”!

We incorporate whole grains in many ways including bread. We will only buy multi grain breads for lunches, toast, etc. Also any pasta we eat is whole grain. Not only are we trying to lead a healthy lifestyle we also have to keep my husband’s cholestrol down. Any snack food we have consists of apples, carrots, pretzels, cheeses, etc..

we buy our snacks as whole grain now and also changed over our pasta, that was an easy transition to start with!
!

We always buy wheat bread. I particularly like 12 grain breads, but we don’t always get that. I also often will add part whole wheat when baking. Thanks to you and Sara Lee for the giveaway!

I’ve been making my own breads instead of store bought– but free bread does beat all!!

I have been buying more whole wheat breads and pastas.

Thanks for the great Sara Lee giveaway, Amy!

I try to use a combination of white and wheat flours when cooking. My husband notices when I add too much in it. He’s a Wonder Bread guy and would be very happy if all bread tasted like the Wonder he grew up knowing. So, a little at a time.

I would love to win Sara Lee Bread! The way we incorporate more whole grains into our diet is by eating Sara Lee Bread. The Honey Wheat is our favorite.

We try to eat as much whole wheat as possible. Thanks for the opportunity!

About 7 years ago I started buying whole wheat pasta instead of white, and now we don’t care for white noodles, my husband says he thinks they taste like soap! We also only buy wheat bread! I think it has more flavor, too. I have not, however, transitioned to wheat flour, I still use AP.

Thanks for the contest, Amy!

I try to incorporate whole grains into my baking whenever I can! Yum!

We are buying only whole wheat pasta now – the kids love it! Plus, whole grain waffles and even whole grain Pop-Tarts.

We have successfully integrated whole grain bread into our diet (I grew up on WHITE bread!). It is delicious!

We eat multi-grain bread, some whole wheat pasta, buy wheat crackers and eat plain oatmeal (I sprinkle cinnamon and add raisins for added flavor).

We gave up white breads, pastas and rice long ago. We even grind our own grain fresh when we make bread at home. Whenever we have a choice of bread, like when we’re eating out, we choose whole grains.

We love all the new breads with the honey and oats – taste great when you make french toast – yummy!

I always buy whole grain breads for our family and I try to get those that do not contain HFCS.

I’ve been purchasing Sara Lee’s mini bagels to make sandwiches for my daughter’s lunch. My two-year-old loves eating them as a snack. Regular size bagels are too big for kids and these are just perfect.

We always purchase whole grain pasta and bread and brown rice.I mix all purchase and whole wheat flours when baking. We buy the whole grain versions of other foods (poptarts, waffles etc) and eat either pasta, rice, quinoa with dinner every night.

What a great giveaway!

We try to purchase whole grain as much as possible. Bread it a biggie at our house! We love pb and J on good bread! I would love to win! Kbroderi@msn.com

When first making the switch to whole grain pasta I mixed half of the whole grain with half the enriched stuff and gradually worked our way up to complete whole grain pastas. When looking at the breads I have taught my husband to look at the ingredient list because many of the wheat breads are just enriched breads with caramel coloring instead of whole grain.

My son is 3 and we are working on switching from white bread to whole grains bread – we’ve discovered a little bit of grape jelly goes a long way in getting him to eat any kind of bread!

We buy whole wheat pasta and whole grain bread.

I always check the fiber content in the items I buy. For example, not all “whole wheat bread” is created equally. I also add wheat germ or bran to yogurt parfaits, meatloaf, meatballs, etc.

Oh no! I just saw this and I think I might be too late…but I really hope not. We try and use whole grains in sandwiches instead of white. If you have other toppings it becomes easier to get used too.

Homemade granola, whole grain breads and pastas

We buy whole grain tortillas for our Mexican dishes! Thanks! thebubbledies(at)gmail(dot)com

We definitely try to add more whole grains. I’ve been adding quinoa to our food repertoire. I’d like to try bulgur wheat too. I don’t keep white flour in our home anymore. Only whole wheat.

We’ve switched from white bread to wheat bread, as well as whole wheat pasta, and cereals with whole grain!

I have just started substituting whole wheat flour for regular flour in the things that I normally make. And have also switched to high fiber breads.

I love whole grains. I try to buy the whole grain version of most everything I can — bread, rice, tortillas, pasta, english muffins, cereal, even crackers. I started doing this about 3 years ago and now I really prefer whole grains instead of traditional flour products. My kids were young enough at the time that they couldn’t tell the difference and don’t complain one bit.

We’ve been buying whole wheat bread, buns, and pastas!

We’re eating more whole grain breads, buns, brown rice, oatmeal, and I add whole wheat flour to my baked goods.

We go to Whole Foods block party and I pick up a new grain to try from their bulk bins. Thanks

great bread

My 3 young boys LOVE Sarah Lee whole grain products. They are delicious and it’s easy to get them to eat it. Some whole grain products have a different texture which turns them off right away.

I have been eating whole grain bread for the last three years. I love the taste. We have two slices for breakfast everyday.

No more white bread in our household–we have totally switched over to all whole grains–bread, bagels, pasta, pancakes, etc.

we hvae changed out diet to incorporate more whole grain .

Whole grain bread is healthy for me and my children. My kids love it and so do I.
Thank you.

We switched to whole grain breads instead of white-makes a tastier sandwich!

We always try to purchase multi-grain products when we can. My daughter is a swimmer and practices 15-20 hours each week and she needs all the good products.

We have been trying to eat whole grain foods, but my kids are junk food junkies.

I’ve always preferred wheat varieties to originals in most things. I substitute wheat flour for white flour a lot when I’m baking, even things like cookies, cakes, and quick breads. You can barely tell the difference!

I buy whole grain pasta and wheat bread since we had our son. It’s funny how you start eating better once you have someone else to care for!

I’ve never tried Sara Lee bread before. What an exciting way to switch to whole grains/wheat. Thank you for this opportunity.

I add in whole grains to everything I can, if I have to “sneak” it in then so be it!!! They don’t notice and I don’t tell!!!!

I try to use whole wheat flour in my baking as much as I can.

I Love the Bagels

We have been eating whole grain products and find that they don’t taste much different from other products but we know they are much better for us. I love the new bread that is white but whole grain in it. I wish more restaurants would have the option of requesting whole grain buns for sandwiches.

Our family only eats wheat bread and whole wheat pasta. My daughter actually requests wheat bread over white!

We pay close attention to the labeling on products these days. Whole Grain vs Multi Grain vs Whole Wheat. We try to get whole grain whenever we can. Recently tried the new whole grain pastas and they are super tasty!

Besides whole wheat pastas and breads, we sprinkle wheat germ on just about everything. It gives great texture and increases the whole grain value of foods from oatmeal in the morning to homemade breads, dinner rolls, even meatloaf! Great giveaway, would love to win as we LOVE Sara Lee breads.

Yeah free healthy bread.

My family loves wholegrain bread. Since my husband and I are having financial problems. This will come in handy with 4 children. Thank You Jacqui Johnson

I only have whole bread,rice, pasta in the house. My kids enjoy it because it tastes great! When we shop, even the kids know to look at labels for whole grains. The hope is they will have their kids doing the same some day.

We love the whole wheat breads and pasta. My kids think they are more flavorful so it’s been an easy switch for good health

I love free bread…

read the labels, read the labels! thanks!

We also buy only whole wheat breads and whole grain pasta. Oatmeal is the best for breakfast, we use our rice maker to make the oatmeal. It’s hot a waiting for us in the mornings.

Thanks for the chance to win.

The bread is so good. I would love to have some.

We love bread in our house!!!!

i just had my third child a month ago and am breastfeeding but it is hard to afford to eat healthy food like whole grain bread especially with two other mouths to feed so free bread would really help.

I incorporate whole grains by baking with whole wheat, and by buying products that only contain 100% whole wheat. A lot of products are decieving by saying they are wheat products or contain whole wheat, but unless it’s 100% whole wheat you aren’t getting your best. We also use whole grain noodles, brown rice, and corn tortillas! Thanks for this opportunity! With a 1 year old who loves PB sandwiches, we’d devour these loaves!

I try to incorporate wheat germ and “Bran Buds” cereal into everything from baked goods to my chicken breading and soups. If you use the right amount, no one in my family even knows it is in them. Let’s keep it our little secret:)

We eat whole grain crackers and breads. I try to mix in wheat pasta with regular pasta.

I try to look at content (cereals with whole grain, fiber amount) but have started using whole wheat (at least half if not all) for recipes like pizza crust. I think the Fiber One chocolate bars are the best!!

We like to eat wheat pasta and bread. We don’t even really notice a difference in the pasta!

We don’t just incorporate whole grains into our diet, that is all the bread that we eat! If I want bread, it has to be whole grains! My husband says it is an acquired taste, as most people prefer, say, white rice. We cannot stand the taste of it now! I feel we are setting a great example for our kids!
Thanks for the chance- this would be awesome!

We are trying to eat healthier by incorporating additional grains in our diets. WE love breads that have plenty of grains in them.

We use whole grain breads and pasta’s in our house

My husband and I are only eating whole grains now, and will make sure our child (who’s on the way!) will do the same! Sara Lee bread is always the freshest, in my opinion… love it!

I buy whole grain bread when I buy bread for my family. And they loved it!

Whole grain bread is so much healthier. It would be a blessing to win this.

We have been getting whole grain bread for just under a year now. My husband really resisted at first but now he loves it. This would be wonderful to win.

I always buy whole grain and wheat bread, instead of white. Sometimes I buy the whole grain frozen waffles too, but it is hard trying to incorporate all these wonderful new foods when your family is always so used to their old eating habits. It is a struggle, but eventually, I think that they will learn to love it.

We incorporate whole grain nutrition as much as we can in our home. Bread, pastas, waffles…

My family loves the Sara Lee 100% whole wheat bread because it is so soft and delicious. Thanks for the chance to win!

Like everybody else, we now eat wheat bread and whole grain pastas, and we also eat Kashi foods, such as the frozen waffles and the frozen microwave dinners! They are actually very good.

We’re honestly not very good at incorporating whole wheat into our diets. I do buy cereals with whole grains, but usually prefer white bread. We’d love to try it out, though!
Thanks for entering me!

THIS WOULD BE A NICE GIFT. THIS WOULD GREATLY HELP OUR FAMILY OUT.

We buy whole grain breads and pastas.

The best way I have gotten my kids to eat whole wheat bread is to make a PB&J on whole wheat bread using all-natural peanut butter and fruit spread. They don’t even know they are eating something healthy!

We use whole grain breads, pastas, flour, and cereals. The white bleached flour no longer is in our house. The kids love it and so does my husband.
Thanks for the opportuniy!

We incorporate whole grains through our breads and waffles!

We buy and enjoy whole grain snacks. Thanks!

We like to eat whole wheat bread, and we also buy the cereals and the crackers and snacks with more whole grains in them. The kids love them and can’t tell the difference.

I’ve replaced white bread with wheat and more grainer breads for not only for a healthier diet but also it also has a better flavor. My 4 year old daughter adapted very well to the “switch” and prefers grains over white. The change also went into pasta, rice and making homemade breads. Even with the assistance of my little chef makes it fun.

we are using more whole grains by basically using produts that use whole grains. it is really easy, i’ve lost weight, and i feel so much better than i did before incorporating it into my life.

I love Sara Lee bread! It has gotten so much easier to add whole grains into our diet. Whole arain bread, pasta, goldfish cereal, cereal bars are all easy ways to add it to our diet!

We don’t even buy bread that is not 100% whole wheat anymore. My kids never really had white bread, so they don’t miss it! All the pasta & cereals we get have whole grains, too. No more regular pasta – can’t taste the difference when it’s covered in sauce!

We have switched to whole grains when my grandson was able to eat baby food and he is 19 months old now. We just wanted him to eat healthier starting at an earlier age. We also eat healthier to set an example for him.

We love bread … any and all kinds and Sara Lee is the best!

whole grain pan cake mix and whole wheat flour in every thing and I love you homemade pitas for everything!!!!!!!!

I substitute whole grain pasta and wheat flour in recipes. No one knows the difference.

I try to get the whole grain white bread instead of plain white, and have been using wheat pasta.

We eat whole grain breads and brown rice. Limit our pasta and eat lots of Cheerios.

We’ve been concentrating on bread, pasta and cereal mostly in increasing our whole grains; brown rice has been harder for us to incorporate, but we’re working on it…

I am guessing this is over since you said taking entries until October 6th and it is a week past that…but just in case…

We don’t buy white bread at all, I mix half brown with half white rice, we only eat whole grain pasta.

Whole grain bread that tastes as good as regular old white? THAT’S for us!

We’ve started using whole wheat pasta, which has been a bit of a challenge to get used to I must admit. I know that it’s better for us, so I’m keeping at it!

I only buy whole grain breads & pasta. I make pancakes or breads with wheat flour instead of the bleached flour. My kids don’t know they are eating healthier it is just their way of life!
THANKS!
Patty

We use the wheat pasta and I try to get the whole grain breads.

I try to get whole grains ANYWHERE I can!
bread, rice, cereals, crackers, etc!

Awesome giveaway… we try to incorporate whole grains by buying whole grain bread, pasta and soup!

thanks for the opportunity to win!
we try to eat whole wheat/grain as often as possible…

I tried sara lee bread and I loved the freshness and taste of the bread also the price was very resonable. Will continue to buy this product even if I don’t win. Thank You

We only buy whole grain pasta and breads. When cooking I use wheat or other flours.

We try and buy whole grain cereals and pastas.

buy as many whole grain products as we can if only aldi would jump on the bandwagon faster!

We eat alot of whole grain breads and cereals. I just recently started eating the pastas some also.

I always buy whole grain mac. and cheese!

I buy all whole grain crackers, bread, pasta, etc. I also try to use whole wheat flour in our baking even if it is half whole wheat and half white.

I like white and my hubsand likes wheat. The coupon’s will help both of us.

100% whole wheat bread is the only bread that graces our table.

I always substitute some of the flour in baking recipes for whole wheat flour. I also use oats in cookies, meatloafs, etc.

What a FABULOUS giveaway!! We try to incorporate whole grains in our diet with bread, brown rice and Kashi products. Wow – this would save us a TON of money. Between making lunches for 3 each day – my husband and I work and my son is in PreK, this would be the best giveaway I could ever win – haha!

I incorporate whole grains in everyday life because of health reasons……would love to win this!

I try to cook with whole grains. Instead of eggs, I use flax, in my meatballs and meatloaves I add in flax and oat bran and oatmeal.

I buy all the whole grain foods I can. I love the pasta.

Hope I win!

I started mixing half brown rice with half regular rice to get my husband a bit more used to it and slowly upped the mix till it is 100% brown rice all the time. And white whole wheat flour makes it easy to sneak it into cookies etc. I also somehow convinced him that quinoa was his favorite thing in the whole world so it is a ‘treat’ when he gets it

I read labels carefully…..stopped buying things like white rice, etc.

We’ve switched to whole grain breads, waffles and cereals & actually like them all better than their plain white counterparts.

I try to eat wheat bread, which I really don’t care for, but I need those whole grains. I also try to buy whole grain pasta.

We have been trying for a year now to eat healthier. I bought my first whole wheat pasta yesterday. Hmm wonder if they will notice the color difference? Anyway, sure could use the bread coupons!

We’ve made the switch to whole grain bread. My kids will still attack a loaf of white and Grandma’s like candy (which should tell you something right there). We’ve also switched to brown rice which was a little harder but so worth it!
