Arnold/Orowheat Sandwhich Thins Right Portion Healthy Review and Giveaway

I was able to host a House Party for this brand and this is actually my second time trying them.  (Not sure what House Party is?  Check out my article here for more details on this marketing concept.)  I really like them for two reasons.  First they are great portion control and second they have lots of healthy whole grain and multigrain options.  They are very versatile and I like them a lot.  I made a mediterrean type pizza for the party which everyone loved.  We also use them to dip in hummus and for small sandwhiches.  Over all I can't really think of a bad thing to say about them!

The article The Portion Distortion Guide on Sparkpeople really helped me realize what my portions should look like.  Another article that helped me is Whole Grains are the Whole Package.

And now for the giveaway!  I use House Party to fund part of other parties that I already have on the agenda or to use as an excuse to entertain.  I've applied to several and don't always get to host the ones I want but I have hosted two of them.  Perhaps you applied to this one and didn't get accepted.  I used this one as part of a family get together which turned out to be a little smaller than I expected and I have left overs.  So I am giving them away to my readers!  The package will include:

1 Coupon for $1 off Sandwich Thin Roll

1 Reusuable Bag (Very nice!)
1 Grocery List Pad
1 (or more) Sandwhich Thin Recipe Card
5 Blank Recipe Cards to create your own ideas
1 Sandwich Thin Nutrition Guide with Healthy Eating Tips

I will be offering five yes five of these to readers!  And there are five ways to enter:

1. Let me know at least one tip (but feel free to share more!) that you use to either control portions or get more whole grains in your diet.  If it is not a topic you have previously thought of before, read the articles above and let me know one thing new you have learned. 
Personally I use the easy mind trick of serving on a smaller plate.  I make my husband a large plate and usually serve myself on a saucer.  Simple but works.  I do go out of my way to buy whole grain pasta and breads.  They are every where now.  You can even get several multigrain and whole grain option for breads at Aldi's.
