Making Sandwiches For An Outing

I may be preaching to the converted but I had to post this idea

I LOVE BREAD...I think I told you that before. Well recently I was introduced to kinnickinnick brown rice bread. Now I am not really fond of "raw" non-wheat breads and this is a bit better but not perfect.

What I did do though was toast the bread first before making the sandwich....but I did not toast it to the point of making it crispy. I just left it in the toaster for about 45 secs or so and then cancelled the toasting.

Then I used my Philly creamcheese as a spread plus some lettuce and a slice of ham and put the sandwich along with another in one of those plastic containers with the snap lids. I put it in a small soft "refigerator" carry case along with some trail mix and apples. I then went out on a birdwatching/photography outting (new hobby).

After 4 hours we stopped for lunch....I tested the sandwiches....they were GREAT! Texture/flavour everything. I now can have a sandwich I like....Perhaps it is good the bread is expensive (all of them seem to be {sigh}...this way the sandwiches are an outting treat.

That is great!

Now that my son is in the throws of baseball season, we do "sandwiches" about twice a week for our evening meal. I make them and we take them to the ballpark! Me, I always use white corn tortilla's. I just havne't been able to get Gluten free bread to work....oh and the cost just about kills me! :rolleyes: LOL

Sounds like a good sandwich :) I toast my Kinnikinnick bread too, although I really toast it up, and eat it with some miracle whip, horseradish sauce and ham :) I bet cream cheese would be good if I did dairy!

I do the Kinnikinnick bread as well. If I don't really want toast, I give it a few seconds in the microwave and that gives it a nice texture. Cream cheese is yummy, it's a shame you can't have it Jen. If I'm doing the strawberry cream cheese, I use a toaster and get it nice an crisp :P

Sounds great....can Kinickinick only be ordered online, or am I mistaken?

We can buy it in our grocery store in Nelson. 'Save on Foods' It's in the freezer section, along with the donuts etc. :D

It is "kinnickinnick brown rice bread" sandwich loaf. My 1/2 toasting could well be the equivalent of nuking it in a Microwave. I found it to be very warm but soft at the endof the toasting. I think storing it in a sealed plastic container is good since no further moisture is lost. The bread really doesn't toast so much as it dries out...so I don't mind cutting it short as far as toasting goes.

My next experiment is it use "Rice" wrappers instead of corn or of course the forbidden wheat flour tortillas. I have had them in Vietnamese restaurants with shrimp, carrots and bean sprouts. I kind of wonder if other fillings would work. They are very cheap and taste not bad with dipping sauces.

Yes, these are great. You can fill them with just about anything. I've done lettuce with blue cheese dressing. cole slaw, anything cold or hot can go in them so long as it's not messy.

You can make yummy tuna salad "sandwiches" with rice wrappers.

      Desperately need a vitamin D supplement. I've reacted to most brands I've tried.

      @Jane02, I hear you about the kale and collard greens.  I don't do dairy and must eat green leafies, too, to get sufficient calcium.  I must be very careful because some calcium supplements are made from ground up crustacean shells.  When I was deficient in Vitamin D, I took high doses of Vitamin D to correct the deficiency quickly.  This is safe and nontoxic.  Vitamin D level should be above 70 nmol/L.  Lifeguards and indigenous Pacific Islanders typically have levels between 80-100 nmol/L.   Levels lower than this are based on amount needed to prevent disease like rickets and osteomalacia. We need more thiamine when we're physically ill, emotionally and mentally stressed, and if we exercise like an athlete or laborer.  We need more thiamine if we eat a diet high in simple carbohydrates.  For every 500 kcal of carbohydrates, we need 500-1000 mg more of thiamine to process the carbs into energy.  If there's insufficient thiamine the carbs get stored as fat.  Again, recommended levels set for thiamine are based on minimum amounts needed to prevent disease.  This is often not adequate for optimum health, nor sufficient for people with absorption problems such as Celiac disease.  Gluten free processed foods are not enriched with vitamins like their gluten containing counterparts.  Adding a B Complex and additional thiamine improves health for Celiacs.  Thiamine is safe and nontoxic even in high doses.  Thiamine helps the mitochondria in cells to function.  Thiamine interacts with each of the other B vitamins.  They are all water soluble and easily excreted if not needed. Interesting Reading: Clinical trial: B vitamins improve health in patients with coeliac disease living on a gluten-free diet https://pubmed.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/19154566/ Safety and effectiveness of vitamin D mega-dose: A systematic review https://pubmed.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/34857184/ High dose dietary vitamin D allocates surplus calories to muscle and growth instead of fat via modulation of myostatin and leptin signaling https://pubmed.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/38766160/ Safety of High-Dose Vitamin D Supplementation: Secondary Analysis of a Randomized Controlled Trial https://pubmed.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/31746327/ Vitamins and Celiac Disease: Beyond Vitamin D https://pmc.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/articles/PMC11857425/ Investigating the therapeutic potential of tryptophan and vitamin A in modulating immune responses in celiac disease: an experimental study https://pubmed.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/40178602/ Investigating the Impact of Vitamin A and Amino Acids on Immune Responses in Celiac Disease Patients https://pmc.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/articles/PMC10814138/

      Thank you so much @knitty kitty for this insightful information! I would have never considered fractionated coconut oil to be a potential source of GI upset. I will consider all the info you shared. Very interesting about the Thiamine deficiency.  I've tracked daily averages of my intake in a nutrition software. The only nutrient I can't consistently meet from my diet is vitamin D. Calcium is a hit and miss as I rely on vegetables, dark leafy greens as a major source, for my calcium intake. I'm able to meet it when I either eat or juice a bundle of kale or collard greens daily haha. My thiamine intake is roughly 120% of my needs, although I do recognize that I may not be absorbing all of these nutrients consistently with intermittent unintentional exposures to gluten.  My vitamin A intake is roughly 900% (~6400 mcg/d) of my needs as I eat a lot of sweet potato, although since it's plant-derived vitamin A (beta-carotene) apparently it's not likely to cause toxicity.  Thanks again!

      Hello, @Jane02,  I take Naturewise D 3.  It contains olive oil.   Some Vitamin D supplements, like D Drops, are made with fractionated coconut oil which can cause digestive upsets.  Fractionated coconut oil is not the same as coconut oil used for cooking.  Fractionated coconut oil has been treated for longer shelf life, so it won't go bad in the jar, and thus may be irritating to the digestive system. I avoid supplements made with soy because many people with Celiac Disease also react to soy.  Mixed tocopherols, an ingredient in Thornes Vitamin D, may be sourced from soy oil.  Kirkland's has soy on its ingredient list. I avoid things that might contain or be exposed to crustaceans, like Metagenics says on its label.  I have a crustacean/shellfish/fish allergy.  I like Life Extension Bioactive Complete B Complex.  I take additional Thiamine B 1 in the form Benfotiamine which helps the intestines heal, Life Extension MegaBenfotiamine. Thiamine is needed to activate Vitamin D.   Low thiamine can make one feel like they are getting glutened after a meal containing lots of simple carbohydrates like white rice, or processed gluten free foods like cookies and pasta.   It's rare to have a single vitamin deficiency.  The water soluble B Complex vitamins should be supplemented together with additional Thiamine in the form Benfotiamine and Thiamine TTFD (tetrahydrofurfuryl disulfide) to correct subclinical deficiencies that don't show up on blood tests.  These are subclinical deficiencies within organs and tissues.  Blood is a transportation system.  The body will deplete tissues and organs in order to keep a supply of thiamine in the bloodstream going to the brain and heart.   If you're low in Vitamin D, you may well be low in other fat soluble vitamins like Vitamin A and Vitamin K. Have you seen a dietician?

      I do not know this, but since they are labelled gluten-free, and are not really a product that could easily be contaminated when making them (there would be not flour in the air of such a facility, for example), I don't really see contamination as something to be concerned about for this type of product.
