As Matt’s Meals fans know, I also publish a column called Vetrepreneurs© in which I profile Veterans who run their own businesses. What you may not know is that the column was inspired by the many Veterans I found in the food space while working on Matt’s Meals!
Among my latest favorite fighter’s food is Dax Snax, a set of amazing, all-natural, allergy-friendly and lactose-free cookies that are delicious, nutritious, packaged in an environmentally-friendly manner, and supportive of liberty’s best defenders.
Before he served for Uncle Sam as a proud and brave Marine, Dax Verdia worked with his culinary-inclined parents and quickly came to see the unifying and sustaining power of food and the joy it can bring people (especially when it is as yummy as his cookies!).
During his many international tours, Dax’s menu expanded and he now brings many of those far-flung flavors to his homemade creations that include such diverse flavors as his signature sweet and salty Daxter, the combo oatmeal-chocolate chip charmer called Chip! Oat! Yay!, the admittedly accidental Jungle Fumble, and the Daxter Gone Berry Cray, which combines a chocolatey cookie with white chocolate chips and dried cranberries for a more sophisticated yet still fun flavor. There are also vegan varieties and many cookies are even safe for pets!
I always ways love to find ways to support food makers and Veterans. Just like his cookies, Dax is a perfect combination!
