Product Review - LC-foods Multi Grain Sandwich Bread
I reviewed the Fresh Baked White Sandwich Bread from LC-Foods on my main website a while back and you can read that review HERE. Well, now they have a new flavor that's more like a whole meal type bread. The white bread had a slight sourdough flavor but this new bread has a more neutral flavor. I didn't care for the white bread toasted but I do like this one both toasted and untoasted. It toasts up very crisp, which makes my husband happy. The bread is a little chewy untoasted but I don't mind that. One thing that I did mind a little was that I ended up with flax seeds all over the place after slicing the loaf. They seemed to be everywhere! I got 29 slices out of the loaf. That's not quite as many as I got from the white bread but I sliced this loaf a little thicker. That's still more slices than the 25 that the label suggests though. Because the bread is so sturdy, you can easily slice it very thin if you like. They ship the bread in a special wrapper that keeps it fresh during shipping. Once it arrives, you'll need to slice it and store it in the freezer or keep a few slices on hand in the fridge.

My menu is kind of empty for next week because my husband will be out of town for a few days. There's no sense in me doing a bunch of cooking just for myself so I'll just eat the Burger Scramble Florentine most of the week and make eggs or something else quick and easy for myself as needed.

I bought the walnuts to use in a cocoa powder taste test. I got some LC-Dutch Cocoa Powder from LC-Foods to try and I want to compare it with the Dutch cocoa that I buy from Penzey's. I also have some of Penzey's natural cocoa powder so I might compare all three kinds. I'm going to use my Cocoa Coated Walnuts recipe for the taste test.

Tuesday's Shopping
Yes, I bought jalapeños again to make yet another batch of Charski's Bread & Butter Jalapeños. It seems like I have to make another batch about every other week or so. I wait until the chiles are on sale for 69-cents pound.
I got a call from the manager of Sprouts yesterday. He said to ask for him the next time I'm in there and he'd make up for the awful cheese that I bought there last week. We may even have a cheese tasting right there in the store.

One thing that they have at Sprouts, that I haven't seen at Walmart in years, is frying cheese. The brand is Karoun Dairies and HERE is their website. They call it "grilling cheese" but it looks like the same type of cheese as the "frying cheese" I used to get at Walmart. It comes in regular and jalapeno for $4.99 (8 ounces). I probably won't buy any though because I remember having no self-control with it when I used to buy it. I could easily eat a whole package in one sitting.
I really splurged on two Lilly's chocolate bars which were on sale for $3.99 each. The regular price is $4.49. I bought a regular dark chocolate bar and a dark bar with coconut. They're sweetened with erythritol and stevia. I tasted a square of each and they're good but not outstanding as far as chocolate goes.
Sprouts had their bulk mild cheddar cheese on sale for only $3.00 per pound which is a great price. However, it's not very good cheese. It doesn't seem to have any flavor. Kroger's packaged cheddar is better in my opinion.
