326 Ways To Enjoy Toast

Toast. Is there any comfort food easier to make? You pull it out of the toaster and plop on your favorite topping. Presto! Breakfast!

Let's face facts. The whole low-carb craze is playing itself out. (I'll expect to get some angry mail from low-carb fanatics for that statement.) The USDA recommends that everyday we eat 6 to 11 servings of bread, cereal, rice, pasta, and other foods containing grains, especially whole grains. Bread is not the enemy of a healthy body, if you select the right bread.

The American Dietetic Association recommends a minimum of three servings of whole grains per day and goes so far as to recommend whole-wheat toast with peanut butter as a quick and healthy breakfast option.

Mary from Salem, Oregon loves her toast topped with ranch dressing, shredded cheddar cheese, garlic powder and tomato slices. Add salt and pepper to your taste.

Clinton from Moab, Utah has a spicy toast idea to share. Top it with butter, garlic powder, paprika and parsley flakes. Clinton says, "To top it all off, I add honey to my taste. The unique contrast between the garlic and the honey is perfect to get your day going." Thanks for the idea . I officially name you President Clinton... of the United States of Strange American Toast Ideas.

Two great tastes that taste great together? You decide. Carole in Mississippi takes her toast topped with peanut butter and yellow mustard. "Sometimes I add a thin slice of purple onion," added Carole in her email.

1. Um... err...

That's a hell of a journalism assignment to give somebody.

I wonder how many times Mr. Breakfast parked his car in the boss' spot for THIS to happen?

2. And the kind of bread matters!

As I read this, I was having a cup of tea and two slice of Thomas's Breakfast Bread, toasted and spread with Olivio. I like the texture and taste of the bread and of course use the Olivio as an alternative to butter or margarine. It melts well, unlike some of the other supposedly healthier alternative spreads out there.

When I was in Germany, the supermarkets used to sell something called Toastbrot. That was news to me, as an American; we just had bread back home, either bakery style or packaged in plastic wrappers. Years later I discovered English muffin bread in various forms and was hooked.
