Dave's Killer Bread Review

Disclosure: I received the following products in exchange for my honest review, all opinions and experiences are my own and may differ from those of your own. 

About Dave's Killer Bread

Dave's Killer Bread was founded in 1955, Jim Dahl purchased a small neighborhood bakery in Southeast Portland called Midway Bakery. A "pioneer" in sprouted wheat bread-baking, Jim soon found a following for his delicious breads made with whole grains and no animal fats (a rarity at that time). Jim's most successful and well-known product was his Surviva Bread which he developed in the 60's and it was baked up until December of 2012. James and his wife Wanene's first child, Glenn, began to work in the bakery when he was nine years old. Glenn was later joined in the bakery by his sister Linda and brothers Al and Dave.

Dave's Killer Bread Seeds & Ingredients

Dave's Killer Bread is seeded all the way around and all the way through with flax, sesame and sunflower seeds (among many others as well). Don't be surprised to find ingredients like amaranth, barley, spelt, blue cornmeal and pumpkin seeds. 

Every single loaf of Dave's Killer Bread is USDA-Certified Organic and Non-GMO Project Verified. This bread is power-packed with Omega-3's, fiber, protein and whole grains. Your average slice has five grams of protein, which is as much as an egg. The Thin-Sliced varieties are loaded with all the nutrition of their regular deli slices, with nearly half the calories. 

Our Thoughts

We received a loaf of the Good Seed and Thin-Sliced 21 Whole Grains and Seeds. Dave's Killer Breads are full of texture and great taste! We've tried other protein packed breads and they tasted like rubber tires. Dave's Killer Bread on the other hand is so delicious! Whether you just put peanut butter on it, toast it and put butter on it, make your favorite sandwich with it, etc you'll enjoy the bread it's self!

Dan and I greatly enjoyed Dave's Killer Bread, it didn't matter if we just put peanut butter on it or if we made stacked sandwiches. My favorites were peanut butter and jelly sandwiches as well as grilled cheese sandwiches! 

Dave's Killer Bread "grills" up really nice! I got a nice golden brown with each grilled cheese sandwich I made. When making the peanut butter sandwiches, the bread never ripped or flaked. It was very easy to spread the peanut butter and butter across the bread. Every slice was perfect, no dry slices or corners! Perfection, delicious, nutritious "Killer Bread"! 

If there were a store located near us, we would definitely buy Dave's Killer Bread. You can order Dave's Killer Bread online, which we may do. I've always been a fan of bread, but after trying Dave's I haven't liked "plain" wheat bread or white bread quite as much. I've never been one for something that is soft, but also has a texture similar to this bread. It was kind of a weird NEW like for me, and I'm pleased that I tried it and had this opportunity. 

I was excited when I found out that Dave's Killer Bread is VEGAN, because Ezio is allergic to eggs. However, I didn't take into consideration the seeds that are on and through out the bread. Ezio is also allergic to sesame seeds which is in every loaf of Dave's Killer Bread. While his egg allergy is worse then the sesame seed allergy, I didn't want to chance it, especially with the amount and variety of seeds. But this just meant more delicious and healthy bread for mom. I don't really eat healthy, but I always make sure the kids are eating healthy.

Which Killer Bread would you like to try? 

Beech-Nut Real Food for Babies!

Beech-Nut has a very simple and straight forward mission, which is to provide honest and real great-tasting foods that are the closest to homemade as possible. Beech-Nut foods are simply that, food designed for babies, whether baby has just begun the adventures of exploring new tastes and textures or is a toddler and master of mowing down delicious foods.

Delicious REAL Foods for Baby!

We received a four pack of Beech-Nut's NEW Food for Babies, Stage 2, just carrots, just spinach, zucchini & peas, just honey crisp apples and beets, pear & pomegranate. All of these are all natural and non-GMO, no preservative and truly just wholesome fruits and vegetables. As a mom of three, Beech-Nut is one of the very few "baby food" brands that I've trusted. Ezio wont allow me to spoon feed him and hasn't for quite some time now, but he loved eating these fruits and veggies with a spoon on his own as well as from a reusable pouch we already have. I will admit that neither him nor myself really cared for the spinach, zucchini & peas, but we don't really like either of those by themselves. We both greatly enjoyed the beets, pear & pomegranate, just honey crisp apples - he really loves apples whether they are hole apples, apple slices, apple sauce or "baby food" which is pretty much apple sauce. He wasn't too fond of the carrots, but I have a hard time getting him to eat carrots, he doesn't even really like baby carrots raw or cooked. All of these foods smelled, looked and even tasted fresh and true to the Beech-Nut mission.

You might be wondering as to why I mention "we" above. Personally I try everything that I give to my children whether it be food, something to drink or even medication. As their mother I feel that I need to know what I'm feeding them, not only by reading labels, but also by tasting it. If I don't like the food, that definitely does not mean that I wont allow them to try it for themselves. But I still want to make sure that the food is fresh or the drink I'm giving them is still good, for example, I don't want to give them fermented juice (which you can't always tell by smelling it). I taste any medicines they will be taking to see if it's a smooth, bitter, sweet, or just plain out right horrible taste. Then I know if it will need an immediate drink to wash it down or not, plus it helps me to know before hand how much of a fight this will be. My mom told me when I had my first child that she as well always tried everything that she gave to myself as well as my little brother. Maybe I just picked this habit up from her? Either way, I can tell you from my own personal taste buds that Beech-Nut foods are delicious and yes they are simply real foods made for babies.

Beech-Nut still has their Classic baby food as well as the baby cereal and pouches. We often purchase the Beech-Nut pouches for Ezio. They are a great on the go snack and even great for snacking at home and the pouches are one of very few healthy things we can get our picky eater, Cade to eat.
