Olympics Entertaining at home with the Official Bread Sponsor of the 2012 Olympics

Olympics Entertaining at home with the Official Bread Sponsor of the 2012 Olympics – Arnold/Oroweat: Olympic fever is heating up this summer. Enjoy a slice of the London action with a gold medal-worthy Olympic viewing party inspired by our friends from across the pond! As the Official Bread Supplier of Team U.S.A., Arnold, Brownberry, Oroweat Breads is excited to share the below tasty tea sandwich recipes as well as tips for throwing your own English tea party with flair.

Tips on how to throw an English Tea Party:

• Start with the table and arrange a nice tablecloth to set the tone for your food (Gingham is popular in London).

• Place your finger foods on a cake stand in the center of the table. Popular finger foods include scones, tarts and tea sandwiches.

•  When making the tea sandwich, think dainty. It’s important start with a good base, like Arnold^®/Brownberry^®/Oroweat^® Health-full^® 10 Grain breads. Top with a light layer of condiment, preferred sandwich meat, and a thin slice of cucumber or watercress. Top with the remaining bread. Trim the crusts and cut into quarters.

• And remember, events like Olympics viewing parties are not an excuse to disregard healthy eating. Eat nutritiously during all the fun by choosing Arnold^®/Brownberry^®/Oroweat^® Breads to still get fiber and whole grain goodness.

We love  Arnold/Brownberry/Oroweat breads!  There is something about sinking your teeth into a sandwich made from Arnold/Brownberry/Oroweat breads.  It puts normal/regular bread to shame!   I tend to pick it up on sale and freeze until needed, but with 2 kids in the house it does not last long.   It does freeze well too!   With school starting here soon, why not think about switching out your normal white or wheat bread for some Arnold/Brownberry/Oroweat breads instead and watch your children's reactions!
