How long does Wonder bread really last?

I hate it when I lose any kind of food products, whether they are forgotten in the back of the fridge, hidden beneath a couple new rolls of parchment paper in the bread drawer or pushed to the back of the cabinet behind several boxes of cereal. In the best-case scenario, they are old and stale when I find them and, in the worst, they are truly "icky." Alanna, from A Veggie Venture experienced neither situation when she came upon a 10-month old loaf of Wonder Bread that had been long since lost in the depths of her bread drawer. It didn't have a speck of mold on it and smelled fine, with no indication that it might be past its prime. Based on this unintentional experiment, Alanna concluded that Wonder Bread "is truly-truly dead and lifeless cardboard."

I wasn't buying Wonder Bread before and I doubt I'll be changing my shopping habits any time soon. Unless, of course, I'm shopping to replenish my emergency disaster kit and want foods with a really long shelf lift.

The blog A Veggie Venture was founded on the principle that a vegetable could be eaten in a different way each day of the year. Actually, it started as a month long project and got stretched out due to its own success. It is written by Alanna Kellogg, a food writer who authors the popular Kitchen Parade newspaper column, which was started almost 50 years ago by her mother, as well as writing the Kitchen Parade food blog. This week marked the 365th post in on A Veggie Venture, meaning that Alanna was successful in her goal. Not only did she prepare a vegetable in a new way every day by including them in everything from soups to pancakes, but she provided a great source of veggie recipes. The carrot cookies pictured here are the 365th recipe. Here's to another year of veggie ventures!
