This November, I had the opportunity to visit the Chandler Block Party where several vendors along the street showcased their products. Great Harvest Bread Company had some wonderful tasting samples of fresh bread. The special part of their recipes are that no preservatives are used and whole grains make the difference. They grind their whole wheat fresh everyday and really support the idea of healthy eating. They have multiple products (see their website) and make their products fresh daily...... and who doesn't love the smell of fresh baked anything during the holidays...too good to pass up... Be sure to visit their website for the last minute Christmas Menu - http://www.tempegreatharvest.com/
House of a Million Nuts....what more can you say...I was privileged to receive a roasted pecan nut sampler. I love pecans anyway, but these melted in your mouth with the savory sweet roasted taste of the holidays. The freshness in the taste comes across which is what you want to find in speciality nuts. They offer almonds, cashews and pecans and three different size offerings - the snack size, small gift sampler, and then larger size and multiple quantities can be ordered. House of a Million Nuts also has certain outlets they supply as well. Check out there website for hours and more details - http://www.houseofamillionnuts.com/
Hattie's Apple Butter was a delightful surprise and the richness in the flavor of the product sold me. It is natural and healthy and made with the best ingredients. The texture and smoothness provides for a enjoyable spread for crackers, biscuits, and other such servings. The fact that it contains no fat, gluten, salt or cholesterol flags this product as a winner in my book. The Apple Butter can be obtained in 8 oz containers and is simply priced so that there is no reason not to buy.....makes for a great holiday stocking stuffer or for that matter, a healthy snack that can be enjoyed at any time. Don't miss out - check out http://www.betterthangrandmas.com/ for more details.
Happy Holidays to all and
Wishing you the Best New Year Ever!!!!

Special Note:
As a consumer taking action means more than words because there are benefits to the consumer. Campaigns are meant to edify and celebrate others through referrals and genuine support. Often times it’s so easy to find individuals and consumers that don't necessarily see value in every purchase they make or dollar they spend places. And in this economy it really hurts even more when that value is perceived to be lost. But the businesses that suffer the most are the small to medium size ones, because that impact is greatest to them. I have always had the philosophy that if you like, love, or just really enjoy something you buy, food you eat, or something you drink you should show your appreciation for it. It is in that spirit that this blog is being promoted and developed.
