If you’ve read more than three food posts on this blog, you know I’m picky. Here in New England, I’m considered a “wicked picky eatah.”
One of the aspects I am most picky about is bread. If bread has seeds, I will literally gag. I just can’t handle it. Yes this makes me five, but I’m ok with that. Even though I don’t like seeds in my bread, it doesn’t mean I can’t eat bread that’s good for me. Enter Nature’s Pride 100% Whole Wheat Soft Bread, sure they are marketing it to families with little kids, but hey I am who I am. There’s nothing artificial in this bread, so even though there aren’t any seeds; I can still feel good about eating it.
Nature’s Pride is sponsoring people to come to the Foodbuzz Festival in San Francisco and utilize their bread in new and improved ways. While they will get tons of awesome submissions, they may not all be friendly for those of us with selective taste buds. It’s no secret how much I love to travel to new places, so I would be ecstatic if I won this contest. Here is my attempt:
Grown Up (or at least I can pretend) Grilled Cheese:
- Garlic & Chive Cheddar – you know I always use Cabot
- Bacon – Get it good and crispy
- Butter – good salted butter, don’t skimp here
- Basil Mayo – for dipping; whirl fresh basil, pepper and mayonnaise in a food processor
- Cook bacon – it’s important for it to be flat, so get out that electric griddle
- Slice garlic & chive cheese and keep it on the thin side
- Butter bread
- Add cheese and bacon
- Cook on medium low until golden brown and crispy
Enjoy your Grown Up Grilled Cheese with a side salad, basil mayo for dipping, and a grown up beverage; I went with a white wine from Chile.
*This is my official entry to be a Nature’s Pride Bread Ambassador. I did not recieve this bread from Nature’s Pride.
