When I used the first piece of bread as soon as I took it out of the package I could tell a difference. It was thicker and fresher. The taste was so much better than the cheap kind. Sara Lee stays fresher twice as long. Now, we spend the extra 25 cents on bread and enjoy it more than ever! Try once and you wont stop! —...

They ground their own corn and it turned into the most delicious cornbread and after that I have been hooked.  — I like the tad bit of sweetness that cornbread has and the texture is soft and moist. — Tonight we were going to grill out and the weather of course was not working with us, but I still had a hankering for cornbread and I had Hodgson Mill Cornbread mix on hand and I thought I would give it a try to go with my indoor BBQ chicken I was making. — The chicken, corn on the cob and potatoes turned out very good (I didn't burn it), but the cornbread turned out to be a bust.  I made them into muffins per the directions (easy directions) and the first taste I was bummed.  It was flat, bland tasting, dry and no sweetness that most corn breads have that we have tried.  Just flat tasting and no umph. — I think I will pass on this brand for a box cornbread mix and go...

Each slice is just 50 calories and is low and fat with no cholesterol.  For those looking for extra nutrients, each slice has omega 3s and no preservatives.  This is definitely a great choice for bread lovers and because it has extra fiber, it keeps you fuller...

But the Boboli falls far short of good pizza to  me. — What I did like was the minimal packaging and the fact that I dont have to pre cook a crust then add toppings and cook again. It is also good in that you can custom pick your own sauce and toppings, using a higher quality than you may find at a restaurant. — What I dont like is the aftertaste. It is somewhat bitter and tastes like bad preservatives or chemicals. I tried it a few times to be fair, but each one had the same bitter aftertaste. — I guess I have to stick with ordering my pizza out. —...

Brownberry Whole Grain Classics Double Fiber 100% Whole Wheat Bread.  To say that this is high in fiber is putting it mildly ... it reminded me more of fabric than bread!  — I first opened this loaf on the morning of a day when I had a lengthy eye appointment scheduled for early afternoon.  I have found that a breakfast of warm toast spread with peanut butter does a wonderful job of sustaining a high level of energy for the rest of the day.  Since I was going to skip lunch, I went for two pieces of this double fiber stuff.  Upon removing the first two slices, I was struck by how very DRY this bread was -- surprising indeed for a bakery...

I used them over ten years ago when I originally joined weight watchers. Back then they were known to dieters for great quality, good taste, whole wheat and less calories. Since then, their product line has expanded into bagels, granola, muffins, etc. Still great quality, easily available across Chicago at the mainstream stores like Jewel and Dominicks. Their products are also Kosher! Looking for good bread with whole wheat and lots of Fiber - This is it. Their mission is to make the best bread with the highest quality ingredients. —...

Healthy Life Southern Country 100% Whole Wheat Bread, a product of Lewis Bakers, Inc. who have been "family bakers since 1925." — I expected to have to compromise on taste and quality but this bread is wonderful -- pleasantly chewy and possessed of a nice nutty taste which is a hallmark of true whole grain bread.  TWO slices are considered to be a single serving which contains 110 calories with five calories from fat.  There are one gram total fat, zero each saturated, monounsaturated, trans fat and cholesterol, half a gram polyunsaturated fat, 210 mg. sodium, 21 grams total carbs (not bad for two slices!), three grams dietary fiber, four grams sugars, and six grams protein.   Also present and accounted for are 2% (D.V.)
