My America’s Better Sandwich Creation & a $25,000 Contest!

I partnered with Brownberry® Bread in exchange for this post. The opinions expressed in this post are my own and do not reflect the opinions of Brownberry® Bread.

Soups, salads and sandwiches are my favorite lunch items. I do have my favorites though and they are pretty simple. For example, I am not a big condiment fan and usually stick to just lunch meat and bread. Lately though I have been trying to expand my horizons and experiment with my creations.

So I was challenged to come up with a sandwich creation and since I knew it couldn’t be boring, I knew it would be a challenge for me. I started with the bread, Brownberry® Bread to be exact, since that is the most crucial piece to the sandwich.

Why did I choose Brownberry® Bread?

Well first off I am bias towards bread as I love whole wheat so I had to go for the 100% Whole Wheat Whole Grains Bread.

Next I noticed three things that were boldly printed on the front of the bag: 46g Whole Grains per 2 slices, 5g of fiber per 2 slices and no high fructose corn syrup. So basically it is delicious bread that is packed with goodness!

What about the recipe I created?

Well every Christmas I make these little cucumber sandwiches on rye bread with cream cheese. When I saw the Brownberry Whole Grains Bread I immediately thought of those sandwiches and figured why couldn’t I use that cream cheese spread on a sandwich?

Salami and Dill Cream Cheese Sandwich
