I just returned home from Second Helpings, a volunteer program that feeds the hungry. My job is to go by certain grocery stores, pick up day old bread and produce, and return it to the Good Shepard House for distribution thru the city.
My favorite stop is Great Harvest Bread Company. You cannot venture in to pick up without buying something for yourself. I should have photographed what I got for you, but I had enough sense to stop at my neighbors house and share before bringing it home, where I would probably eat it all.
It is such a special treat to go in and get their Cinnamon Swirl bread. It is a large, soft, round loaf of whole wheat bread that has been drizzled with butter, cinnamon and sugar and baked just right. Uummm. I got home and fixed myself a good fresh fruit smoothie, and cut a slice of bread and sat out on the porch under the ceiling fan to enjoy it. What a way to start my Saturday. Now I just hope all that good stuff will keep me full through lunch, and give me enough energy to complete my Saturday chores.
I think that since it is whole wheat bread, that it is probably good for you and will fit into the "diet" my husband thinks we need to be on. What do you think?

Brenda,
For some reason I don't think the inherent "goodness" of the whole wheat eradicates, much less equalizes, the inherent "badness" of all the butter and sugar. Cinnamon probably doesn't matter one way or another. But it sure does sound tasty!
