Oroweat Sandwich Creations & Giveaway

This is a compensated review from BlogHer and Orowheat

I was happy to have the opportunity to test Oroweat’s new line of Dutch Country breads and write a review. The three breads our family tried are 100% Whole Wheat, Premium Potato and Extra Fiber.

All three have a smooth texture and I must say I am very pleased that Oroweat does not put High Fructose Corn Syrup in their breads! Now, as readers of SAHM: Surviving Assorted Home Mayhem know, I am trying to get the last of the “baby weight” off and follow Weight Watchers. I am very happy that Oroweat’s Extra Fiber bread is hearty and filling at only one point per slice! Here are a couple of the sandwich creations I came up with.

Health Nut:

2 slices Oroweat Dutch Country Extra Fiber

Spread with 1 T reduced fat or whipped cream cheese

Top with sprouts, 1 oz. sliced avocado, 1 T sliced olives and 1T roasted pumpkin seeds

[5.5 WW points]

Classic Smoked Turkey & Swiss:

2 slices Oroweat Dutch Country Extra Fiber

Spicy mustard, thin sliced smoked turkey, reduced fat Swiss cheese slice, lettuce or sprouts, tomato, onion and banana peppers.

[4 WW points]


Of course any of Oroweat’s breads could be used for these sandwiches, in fact the Teenager liked the 100% Whole Wheat and little guy favored the Premium Potato bread with peanut butter and honey. I did get some “looks” from the Hubby and Teenager when I mentioned I was making sandwiches and they heard the dreaded words “sprouts” and “seeds” but they actually liked my creation and the bread really made the sandwiches!

AT&T FamilyMap Review & $100 Visa Gift Card Contest

This is a compensated review from BlogHer and AT&T FamilyMap

Our family are already AT&T subscribers of a Family wireless plan. I was thrilled when AT&T came out with a new feature: FamilyMap. What a wonderful tool to locate family members, check to see if they made it home on time and many other uses. I was especially pleased to see the Scheduling feature which allows you to set certain locations where a family member should be certain times of day which you can then receive a text or email notification for. As a busy mom of a toddler and a teenager, I’m not always home in the afternoon when Teenager arrives so it gives me great peace of mind to know that I’ll automatically be informed when he arrives home, to another destination or if he just hasn’t made it home by a certain time. The day we started using this tool also happened to be the first day of school for Teenager. When I set this up it automatically sends a text message to the family members you assign the program to locate, thus Teenager was informed of this new feature. He phoned on his way home from school just as we were plotting his journey online. I said: “Oh, by the way we are following you online with the new FamilyMap feature from A&T!” His reply was a less than enthusiastic [insert annoyed teen voice here] “Yeah, I know.” I told him at least we weren’t installing a chip in his head or anything.
