What's Cooking Now?

I am making some Bountiful Beer Bread croutons seasoned
with olive oil and Garlic Garlic. The pan is in the oven right now and the fragrance is incredible. I am going to use them for the soup that I am making tonight. Then I will use those croutons as bread crumbs for my chicken breasts I am going to make tomorrow.



I am also making a Nana's Apple Cake mix for Pumpkin bread made with real pumpkin. Instead of an 8X8 pan, I used a bread pan, added a cup of fresh pumpkin, two eggs, and a handful or two of pecan pieces. I am really looking forward to the bread. I love pumpkin stuff. This will be wonderful.

As to the soup I am going to be making tonight, I am trying to decide between the Perfectly Potato Cheddar Soup mixand the Bountiful Beer Cheese Soup . I am going to serve up some stadium brats with the soup. I think the Beer Cheese soup will go well with the brats. I will probably simmer the brats in the left over beer from making the soup. The Bountiful Beer Bread croutons will only add to the flavor. Add a bit more cheese and it is perfect for someone who grew up in Wisconsin.

Tastefully Simple Last Night

I went to my first Tastefully Simple team meeting since joining back up nearly two weeks ago. I really enjoyed the meeting, relearning the tips and tricks of taste-testing parties, host coaching, and recruiting consultants. However, I think the best part of the night besides being able to sample products that may be in future catalogs was getting to know the other women. Of the nine of us there last night, three of us were brand new. Of the three, I was the oldest of the three new consultants by barely a week.

Meeting new people is one of the great benefits from being a Tastefully Simple consultant. I love being able to meet new consultants and make new friends with others who are just as excited as I am about Tastefully Simple. Now, I love the products a great deal and there are so many applications for the products besides the most obvious. For me, that is a blast to think about and try new variations on the products. Some of the consultants last night have this same great talent and I loved being able to share and hear the great ideas they had.

Have you ever wanted to have access to some of the best food products around, receive a discount on your own product purchases, earn money when sharing with others the great food, meet new people, encourage others to join the fun of Tastefully Simple?

I joined Tastefully Simple in 2003 the first time because I loved the Oh My Chai! I had moved from Des Moines, Iowa to Hendersonville, NC the same month I joined. I wanted to be able to get out and explore the area, make new friends and have discounted access to my favorite product, the Chai. I was a consultant for four years before I stopped selling Tastefully Simple. Just two weeks ago, I decided that I was tired of paying full price for my favorite products and signed up again with Tastefully Simple. I needed to have these products again and I am so excited.

Yes, I could have ordered the products through another consultant and I did. However, I wanted too many products to pay full price for them. So, I had to be a consultant again.

I love Tastefully Simple and I know if you tried the products, you too will love Tastefully Simple so much that you would be hooked just as I am.

Scents Filling the House

Yesterday I began browning and simmering some roast letting the bits and pieces of the meat brown on the bottom of the pan make some great flavor. I deglazed the pan with some beef broth and then added a good helping of Garlic Garlic. I let the meat simmer in the broth and spices for a good five hours then added some rustic noodles and made some mashed potatoes, buttered carrots, warmed applesauce with cinnamon to serve with the Bountiful Beer Bread. It was a wonderful meal that left the house smelling delicious the entire day and night. Unfortunately, I couldn't smell the spices coming for the Nana's Apple Cake I made because of the delicious garlic aroma circling throughout the house.

When I went outside to head to the mailbox and wandered back into the house I was thrilled to remember many other times I used Garlic Garlic and the house felt welcoming. Yesterday I said that many memories many of us have are made around food. Sometimes the memories are simply smells that brings you to another time and place, but not a specific event. Garlic is one of those scents I love because it means a meal of substance is being made. A meal that will require time to sit down and enjoy. That means there is time for conversation and laughter. Whether it is a dinner of Italian favorites, Mexican, or simple comfort food like we had last night, it is a meal to be savored with family.

What is your favorite food scent that brings all kinds of memories to mind?

Cold Weather, Lacrosse, Teenagers and Malted Cocoa from Tastefully Simple

It was cold yesterday. I mean cold for October 2 in North Carolina. It was in the upper 50's when my youngest son decided to head off to the Lacrosse field and practice with some friends. By the time he got home it was 50 degrees outside and he had red cheeks from the cold and practice. He asked if I had any Oh My Chai! but I didn't. Have to get some real soon, it is time for Chai. But I did have some Malted Cocoa mix that I whipped up for him. It tastes like a Malted milkshake warmed up.

These are the things that memories are made from, moments of mom's making cocoa for a son coming in from playing outside. I know the times available for these such moments are limited. You see, he is in his junior year of high school and then he too will be off to college. I would love for him to remember the times I did special things for him when he was young and while he was in high school. I would love to have him remember fondly these special things when he begins to have his own family. Much like I have of my family.

Isn't it funny how much we remember and do in our own lives what we experienced when we were growing up. I loved hot cocoa and fall days as much as hot cocoa and winter days. When I handed the mug of steaming hot cocoa last night to Andrew, he took a huge whiff of the cocoa and smiled. He said thank you three times for that cocoa smiling at me. That is a memory that I will always cherish.

You know I am a Tastefully Simple consultant, so I write about some of the products I love and would love to introduce you to and have you try. But there is more than just that. I want you to experience the memories these products can stimulate in your home. It is well known that many memories we have are surrounded by food. It is no surprise that Tastefully Simple can and does bring special memories to your family meals, snacks, and cold weather related activities.

Last Nights Dinner, Everyday Easy

Last night I made some hamburgers. I decided to try these products for everyday cooking to prove how easy using Tastefully Simple for all your meals is easy and delicious. I seasoned my hamburger meat with Seasoned Salt. The combination of ingredients inside this bottle proves that a little bit of quality ingredients is all that is necessary to provide an excellent taste experience. The hamburgers were absolutely delicious, juicy, and perfectly seasoned.

Garlic Garlic was added to a pan of black beans simmering on the stove. I added a pinch of Fiesta Party Dip seasoning to the beans for a tiny bit of heat. I let the flavors meld together before adding some co-jack cheese to melt into the beans. The result? Incredibly seasoned, cheesy, and spicy black beans. To top the beans off, I made a Fiesta Party Dip with sour cream to add a dollop just before diving in. 

So what recipes can you make incredible from adding Tastefully Simple into everyday? 

P.S. I am enjoying a nice warm mug of Malted Cocoa Mix and it is delicious!

Bayou Bourbon Glaze, Last Night's Favorite

The Bayou Bourbon Glaze was the best of the best products we tried last night. We had it on ham and it reminded Mike of the flavor of Ham Balls but with a kick. If you are not familiar with ham balls, it is a meatball made of ham. The sweet sauce what makes them great, according to Mike. This sauce had a kick to it, just enough heat to counter the sweetness. It was delicious.

The Pomegranate Chiptle Sauce was good, it carried more spice than the Bayou Bourbon Glaze and was delicious on the chicken breast that were seasoned with Seasoned Salt before adding the sauce. It smelled absolutely wonderful and well, yum.

I added some grilled chicken breasts in the Creamy Wild Rice Soup and loved the flavor of this soup. The soup takes about 45 minutes to simmer to completion, but it was delicious and well worth the wait.

The Olive and Herb Cheese Ball was really good. It was suppose to be a cold cheese ball, but I made it as a warm dip and it was awesome. I served it with wheat thins and the sweetness of the cracker was a great compliment to the Mediterranean spices.

However, my favorite dip last night was the Artichoke and Spinach Warm Dip. It is made with cream cheese and Swiss cheese. It was warm, creamy, flavorful, and well, it was so good.

You just have to try some of these great products. You can have them shipped directly to your door. Go online and pick out the ones you want to try right away. In a matter of days, you too will have a delicious feast made simply by your own hands, even if you don't cook.
