Contest: Low Carb Breads + Recipe

A good friend of mine is on a low-carb diet, which has me considering trying it, also. I had tried the Weight Watcher's diet before, so I can try a variation of it, going by points. I don't want to give up all sugar/chips, but I do want to try to reduce some of it (lately, my latest craving is cotton candy...which of course is the greatest for someone who is borderline diabetic...and one of my favorites is Tostitos lime chips. One of my snacks during the day is Life Cereal...so, if I can find a low-carb bread, I can make sandwiches/etc, to lower some of the remaining carbs/points that I would have).

Anyway, Shannon's Kitchen Creations is hosting a giveaway. Julian Bakery will send you 3 different types of breads.

The first one is their "Smart Carb Low Carb" bread, which is 2 points per slice, and 1 net carb. It contains 12 grams of proteins and fiber per slice. And the ingredients: Ingredients: Fresh Ground Whole Grain *Wheat, Sprouts of *Kamut, *Spelt, *Rye, Lentils, Sesame Seeds, *Millet, *Quinoa, *Amaranth, Ground Flaxseed, *Wheat Bran, Oat Bran, Eggs, Undenatured Whey Protein Isola – (*Organically Grown)

The second one is "Cinnamon Raisin Smart Carb", 2 points per slice, and 2 net carbs. 16 grams of protein, and 13 grams of fiber. She says this makes a great french toast, and looking at the ingredients, I would have to say so, also: Fresh Ground Whole Grain *Wheat, Sprouts of *Kamut, *Spelt, *Rye, Lentils, Sesame Seeds, *Millet, *Quinoa, *Amaranth, Ground Flaxseed, *Wheat Bran, Oat Bran, Eggs, Undenatured Whey Protein Isolate (90%), Chicory Root (Inulin Fiber), Wheat Gluten, Cinnamon, Raisins, Yeast & Sea Salt. (*Organically Grown).

The third one is the one that I would be most interested in! Amazing Sourdough with 60 Calories and 4 Net Carbs, it's 1 point per slice! She even includes a 4 point cheddar and tomato sandwhich recipe, for this bread! She says it's a very flavorful sourdough, so I would love to try this! Here's the ingredients for this one: Fresh ground high protein golden whole grain *wheat, onion, Undenatured Whey Protein Isolate (90%), Chicory Root (Inulin Fiber), sesame seeds, yeast & sea salt. (*Organically Grown)

So...as much as I just want to enter, and not share, so I have more of a chance, I thought I would give others a chance to win, also. I won the earrings, and hopefully someone will win the bread, through this blog! So make sure you enter this giveaway!!!
