Happy Thanksgiving! Plus Dave's Killer Bread, and a Sin Dawg Giveaway!

Happy happy Thanksgiving! Above, you'll see a meal I made earlier in the month as a trial run in preparation for Thanksgiving. Roasted cauliflower steaks with a QueenV tester gravy, roasted Brussels sprouts, and a QueenV tester, individual stuffings, that you can also find on her blog. I hope your dinner is similarly delicious.

And a review! Or four, actually. Today's giveaway comes from Dave's Killer Bread, and they asked me to do a review in conjunction with the giveaway. Their bread really is killer, so of course I was happy to oblige. They sent me a Sin Dawg, plus their three newest varieties of bread, and I trekked them back to the murky Midwest to share with my parents tonight. I am happy to say we love them all.

First up is DKB 21 Grain Light. This is a sweet, flavorful, chewy loaf. My mother commented that it had quite a lot of texture for a light bread, and I agree. This would make an awesome PBJ, or hold up well against a capery, veggie-filled tofu salad. Next we tried DKB Good Seed Light. I loved this, and so did my father. It's less sweet and more nutty than the 21 Grain. I'd love to use this for a vegan BLT or grilled cheeze. Our third bread was the Robust Raisin. Wow, we all agreed this one is just delicious raisin bread, dense and a bit nutty/seedy. It would be perfect breakfast toast, and I could see it as Fronch toast.

And then the Sin Dawg, which sent us all swooning. Here is the thing. They look healthy. They ARE healthy. And from the first bite, you will never believe it. Each time I buy one, I cut myself a slice of Sin Dawg take a bite, and am floored. Next bite the same thing. Each bite. They are so cinnamony and gooey and chewy and seedy. We were all in heaven. Believe it!

  11. Happy Thanksgiving to you and Lady M.

    The Sin Dawg sounds amazing.

    Thanks for the chance to give me the chance to possibly it test out- and thanks for all the work you have put into your blog posts this month. Unlike a lot of your readers I am a real novice cook- but you have totally inspired me!
