Review: Canyon Bakehouse

Disclaimer: I received these items in exchange for an honest review. I was not required to post a positive review. These are my honest opinions. Your experience may differ.





I will be the first to admit, I always thought Gluten Free goods, would be lacking in flavor. I have tried Gluten free candies, and a couple other products, but never anything that I would eat on a regular basis, until now.
I was sent a few different products to review from Canyon Bakehouse-
7 Grain Bread
Rosemary & Thyme Focaccia
Cinnamon Raisin Bread
Hamburger Buns

I am usually not a huge sandwich fan, because usually the bread I eat, is flat, and when you add mayo or mustard, it turns sort of… mushy. The first product that I tried, was the 7 Grain Bread. I don’t think I have ever had a better bread than this. This was perfect for sandwiches. I raved about this bread. The flavor and texture was absolutely perfect.




The next product I tried was the Rosemary Focaccia bread.  This was my least favorite product. The flavor was good, but I thought it was dry. I added some Olive Oil and sun-dried tomatoes to mine, and that made it exponentially better.

The Cinnamon and Raisin Bread was also very good. I loved this for breakfast. Perfect by itself or just with butter.

The last product I tried was the Hamburger Buns. These were GREAT! They were able to handle a very thick and juicy burger. They didn’t fall apart either.

Canyon Bakehouse products are GMO Free, Gluten Free, Kosher, and Dairy Nut and Soy Free.


I loved their products, and I would switch my everyday bread over to Canyon Bakehouse product in a heartbeat.

Review: Upfront Granola

I received all three flavors of upfront Granola to try: pecans & Almonds, Straight up granola, and Granola with cranberries. My absolute favorite was the granola with Pecans and Almonds. I ate this in my light and fit yogurt for breakfast... and can you say Yum? Because I sure did! I also loved munching this right out of the bag.

Straight up Granola is certified Vegan and is a non GMO product. They use 100% whole grain and are Kosher Certified. This granola is made to order and great with Milk or yogurt. They are portion controlled; they come in a 1/2 cup serving "grab and Go" pouch.

Can we be up front with you? There is no secret ingredient in Upfront Foods’ granola. In fact, our granola is so good because we have nothing to hide. Our business is not complicated, in fact, it is the exact opposite: simple, healthy food granola with no artificial ingredients. There’s just no room for hiding any secrets with only 9 straightforward ingredients in our signature granola, Upfront Nutty. There are no preservatives in our three granola flavors or no artificial ingredients and the 100% whole grain cereal, is Kosher certified and they have Non GMO Project verification. We make our granolas in small batches and package in a convenient “grab & go” ½ cup serving pouch to make it convenient for an easy healthy breakfast or a quick and healthy snack. You’ll even find the nutrition label right on the front of the package so it’s easy to decide for yourself how our granolas fits into your healthy lifestyle! It’s simply part of our honest-to-goodness promise to help make your life easier and more healthful at the same time.
“Let’s face it; mornings can be the most hectic part of our day. Who has time to make a healthy breakfast? All natural lunch box treats or healthy snacks can be a challenge, too. The creation of Upfront Foods’ granola began with my search for an easy healthy breakfast or healthy snack and the realization that finding a simple whole grain cereal or healthy snack was not so simple. I was tired of overly processed products that touted “Natural”, but whose long labels hid complex and artificial ingredients. I wanted real food that was healthy, delicious and easy.
I realized if I wanted to make it simple and healthy, I had to make it myself. I carefully chose the highest quality ingredients I could find, and found myself busy making granola for family and friends who encouraged me to start selling it. Today, we are still on a quest to make uncomplicated food that tastes great. We buy from trusted suppliers…. organic whole grain oats, golden flaxseed from a 5th generation farm family in North Dakota, 100% maple syrup from a 7th generation family farm in Vermont, brown sugar and crunchy nuts…nothing artificial and nothing to hide…just real ingredients from sustainable food sources.
Happily, my granola is simply delicious! I want everyone to taste how honestly good granola with no artificial ingredients can be, and that’s how Upfront Foods was born. Isn’t it time to simplify your life?!”

Review: Crunchmaster Crackers

I was given the opportunity to review Crunchmaster Crackers. I was so excited to receive these! I love crackers, actually, I love Salty Snacks. It's my greatest downfall. I am constantly looking for healthier options to fulfill my "Salty Snack" Craving. I have to tell you, these definitely hit the spot!
I was able to try a variety of different kinds and flavors. 
Multi-Seed Crackers
Multi-Grain Crackers: Sea Salt
Sea Salt Popped Edamame Chips
Wasabi Soy Popped Edamame Chips
Grammy Crisps

My favorite flavor that I received was probably the Wasabi Soy! The Sea Salt Popped Edamame Chips were also delicious, they reminded me of miniature rice cakes. My second favorite were probably The Multi Grain Sea Salt Crackers. These crackers are great! I love how crispy they are. These are great to eat by themselves, or with dip. 


All of the products a Certified Gluten Free! Giving up gluten definitely does not mean giving up on good tasting foods, and Crunchmaster Crackers proves that without a shadow of a doubt. They use whole grains, cholesterol free, low in sodium and saturated fat, and have zero grams of trans fat!
