Bakery bread kid-friendly wheat whole wheat

Roman Meal Bread – Bakery Fresh Whole Grains {GIVEAWAY!}

Disclosure: I participated in an Influencer Activation on behalf of Mom Central Consulting for Roman Meal. I received product samples to facilitate my review and a promotional item to thank me for participating.

roman meal bread 4I have a confession to make. I have a love/hate relationship with sandwiches.

You see, my husband LOVES sandwiches. Loves them. If he could, he’d take three sandwiches to work a day. EVERY. SINGLE. DAY.

What’s even worse is that now this has rubbed off on our youngest boys. Every day D-Man wants a sandwich to take to school in his lunch box. Then when he gets home he wants another sandwich. Then there’s RoRo, he could eat 3 sandwiches a day too!

Now, call me crazy, of course sandwiches are easy to make. I know many women would LOVE to have this problem that their husband and kids always want sandwiches. But I’m a food blogger, and sandwiches can be so boring!

As you can tell, I’m not much of a sandwich person. Actually, I take that back. I love hot sandwiches. Toasted or grilled and it’s the best thing since… well sliced bread.
(Ha! See what I did there?)

You want to know something that makes me not mind all these sandwiches that my family is devouring? Roman Meal bread. Have you ever tried it?

roman meal original breadI remember the first time I brought a loaf home, Big G was so excited! He had childhood memories of his grandmother (Big Mama) making him sandwiches with Roman Meal bread, and it was always their favorite brand. Since Roman Meal bread is always baked fresh, locally in regional bakeries across the United States, it’s not always available at every retailer or grocery store. I just so happened to find it at a small local grocery store chain in my town. This means it was delivered freshly baked bread to my local grocery store, and it also means Roman Meal bread is never frozen and shipped long distances. This is good news for us, because meals always taste better when prepared with fresh ingredients!

roman meal bread 1Roman Meal has been an American favorite for generations and was one of the first companies to offer whole grain bread nationwide. They’ve been baking healthy whole grains into their breads for over 100 years, and they have their recipes down pat. This bread is light, fluffy and not as dense or heavy as other whole wheat products out there. It’s made from a sweet and soft whole grain blend of whole wheat, whole rye, wheat bran, wheat germ and flaxmeal, with hints of honey and molasses.

roman meal bread 2What’s the deal with whole grains? Well, whole grains are a good source for vitamin D, calcium, and fiber and they also help with digestion and weight management. Studies have shown whole grain intake may reduce the risk of heart disease. One serving of Roman Meal bread (2 slices) has 21 grams of whole grains – more than 40% of the recommended daily value of whole grains**.

nutritional highlightsIf you’re not familiar with the brand, this is a perfect time to get to know them! Roman Meal is having a Baked Fresh Sweepstakes during the month of September! You can enter the sweepstakes on Facebook and here’s a few of the rules:

      That’s so funny Kitty, that was almost exactly the same response I got from my husband. Even the first photo in this post he said brought back his childhood memories, that’s his favorite kind of sandwich! 🙂

[Sponsored]: Summertime is coming and will be here before we know it! You all know that I love easy meals during the warmer months, and I also love a good meal in a bowl. It’s also Vidalia Onion season 🧅 so I paired this seasonal favorite with pan-seared shrimp and veggies as a light rice bowl using your choice of grains.☺️This meal is an absolute delight!

Get the recipe and all the Vidalia Onion details by clicking the link in my profile or desktop users can click here for the recipe >> https://mamaharriskitchen.com/2021/06/pan-seared-shrimp-veggie-rice-bowl-vidalia-onions/ .

Also make sure to grab some Vidalia Onions from your local grocer before they are out of season in late August/early September.☀️

This time of year I love warm, comforting recipes that are super easy and delish. This ridiculously easy Chicken Tortilla Soup is a one pot meal, ready in under 30 minutes and uses already prepared rotisserie chicken for maximum flavor (and ease)! With a tasty blend of flavors and textures, it’s like a bowl full of comfort.

(AD) There has been a lot of cooking going on this year, so I’ve tried to make life a bit easier by getting creative with my leftovers. These pulled pork totchos are a great example of leftovers with a few key ingredients to create something new to keep our meals exciting. Adding a few key ingredients like @lamorenausa adobo peppers and jalapeños and carrots definitely livens up something simple. La Morena peppers are hand selected, using only the highest quality peppers to bring you authentic home style flavors of Mexico. I purchased my La Morena items from my local Safeway, but you can find them at your favorite grocery store in the international food section. #PayItForwardwithLM #VivaLaMorena #WeCanWithLaMorena 
 
INGREDIENTS:
- 32 oz tater tots
- 2 cups shredded cheese (Mexican blend + Pepper Jack)
- 2 cups prepared bbq pulled pork (check my pulled pork sliders recipe!)
- 1/2 can La Morena Adobo Peppers & Sauce
- 2 tablespoons sour cream 
- 2 tablespoons ranch dressing
- 1 cup pico de Gallo
- 1/2 cup guacamole
- 3 chopped green onions 
- 3-4 La Morena jalapeños and carrots, sliced

INSTRUCTIONS:
Prepare tater tots as instructed, in air fryer or oven. Heat oven to 450°. 
Cover the bottom of a large cast iron skillet with the cooked tater tots. 
Top with 1 1/2 cup of cheese. 
Combine the chopped adobo peppers and sauce with the prepared bbq pulled pork. Spread the pulled pork mixture on top of the tater tots, then top with the remaining cheese.
Bake in the preheated oven for 5 minutes.
Top with sour cream, ranch, pico de Gallo, guacamole, green onions, and sliced jalapeños and carrots.

Enjoy!! 😋

This year I’ve created Cranberry Pistachio Citrus Cookies to share as my contribution. 🍪 I know that a lot of things have turned “virtual” throughout this year, but a little virtual bake-off is a fun way to connect with some of your favorite people!

Hello Instagram fam! 💖 There’s some new faces around here and it’s been a while since I showed mine!

I’m Dawn, creator of Mama Harris’ Kitchen, and I’m so glad you’re here with me! In this space I share my family-friendly recipes for all occasions, whether it be a 30-minute meal for those busy weeknight dinners or a full spread for entertaining a crowd - and everything in between.

Mama Harris’ Kitchen began back in 2012, in fact it’s 8 years this month! 🥳  What started as a way to document my newfound cooking hobby while managing my “new” life as a stay-at-home wife and mom to a 1 and 3 year along with teens and preteens, and it quickly grew into what it is now - a recipe resource for busy families like mine that enjoy flavorful and comforting home-cooking using pantry staples along with fresh and local ingredients as often as possible. 

🍿Five fun facts about me:
1. I LOVE elephants! 🐘 I collect a lot of elephant items, whether it’s trinkets or  artwork, notepads etc. I love what elephants symbolize and I truly love anything elephant related.
2. I’m a total plant lady! 🌱 I have about 35 houseplants, give or take, and there’s still more on the list of wants. Plants have become such a peaceful outlet for me, and I feel that they really center me within my space. I love the element plants bring to your space and the feel of your home with them in it, and new leaves are so exciting!
3. I have seven tattoos and I have plans for about eight more. 💉 Those that know me aren’t surprised, but those that follow me here tend to find it a bit surprising. 🙃
4. I’ve been a mother for a long time, over half my life! I’ve also been a lot of different “types” of mom - teen mom, single mom, working mom, stepmom, stay at home mom, PROUD mom, military mom, mother in law - the list goes on. No matter what, motherhood looks different for everyone and there’s unique challenges and experiences each mother faces. Please be gentle with yourself! ❤️At the end of the day we’re all just trying our best!
5. I’m a bit of an introvert, and often struggle with the “social” aspect of social media. I tend to go silent sometimes, but I’m working on it.

☀️Thank you for joining me here!
