As we Chew on That bloggers are rapidly learning, there is a food holiday for EVERY day of the year. There are also food months and food weeks. After doing some research, I found that the second week of April is National Egg Salad Week.

Lately at the Recipe4Living office, we have been getting serious cases of the munchies. A while back, we received an Emerilware Bread Machine by T-fal.

We’ve all known that whole wheat bread is healthier than white bread, but have you actually made the switch? These days, places like Potbelly’s, Panera and Go Roma are smartening up to the benefits of whole wheat and offering whole wheat bread on sandwiches, whole wheat baguettes as sides, and whole wheat crust for pizza (respectively). And the list doesn’t stop there. Anything that’s made with flour can be made with whole wheat: pastas, cookies, muffins, you name it. So when you have the choice, do you choose whole wheat?
