With two growing boys in my house we eat a lot of sandwiches, and when I say a lot, I mean a lot. About 20 minutes after I feed one of my kids they are hungry again, and still stay bean pole thin. While I make most of my bread from scratch there are weeks when my schedule is tight and we rely on store bought bread. When buying bread from the store I like to try to pick the freshest and healthiest options for my family. Recently, I was given the opportunity to try Roman Meal bread and create a recipe in my home kitchen. 

So what is Roman Meal bread? Roman Meal bread is baked locally at regional bakeries all across the United States. They have partnered with more than 90 regional bakeries to bring freshly baked bread to your local grocery store as part of their “Baked Fresh Locally” initiative. These partnerships make it possible for Roman Meal bread to never be frozen and not have to travel long distances. 

Their Roman Meal Whole Grain's are a good source of Vitamin D, calcium, and fiber. The breads are 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. The Roman Meal Company was one of the first companies to offer whole grain bread nationwide. 

I received a package of Roman Meal bread to make a recipe in my home kitchen. Since updated grilled cheese sandwiches are all the rage right now in the foodie community I came up with a recipe for an Oaxaca Grilled Cheese Sandwich with Avocado Jalapeno Dipping Sauce. The recipe is as follows.
