If you still like bread...

But would like to keep it low carb...Whole grain... I just thought I'd pass on a tip about one of my favorite products which is Southaven Farms mixes. I got them actually a couple years ago when I was on South Beach Diet (pre-band). For whole grain, I couldn't believe how yummy and moist they were. Heck, they are even better (IMO) than regular bread. There are a lot of different mixes that you can substitute in your own recipes to make them more low carb. Like pancakes and such. They are also unsweetened, so you get to choose how to sweeten them.

I still have a couple boxes in my cupboard I haven't used. But I did make some bread with this cinnamon mix they have that reminded me of my mom's zucchini bread without the zucchini. It would have been even better with the zucchini!

I'm not much of a baker so I don't have a whole lot of imagination or experimentation, but I bet there are lots of things you could make. I just can't believe whole grain could taste this good, so I thought I'd pass this along to those that still eat bread.

Hey Steph thanks for the link Some breads are hard to get down for me but, these might work and if not at least they'd be better for my DH on his low carb diet

Thanks! I grew up on white bread [DH did too] and for our daughter [20mnths old] we're trying to do the whole grains but we have a hard time eating it sometimes [i pull MY crust off, DD eats hers!]. This sounds like a good alternative. Do you use a bread machine for these?

I did use our bread maker for the cinnamon bread. You can cook them in the oven, but I'm kinda lazy. :thumbdown:

Thanks! We have a bread maker that we got as a gift several [MANY] Christmases ago and we hardly ever use it. This will be good. I'm excited!
