A better way for Fruits and Veggies

noreply@blogger.com (Eden) — Tue, 14 Apr 2015 16:51:00 +0000

I started buying Thrive Foods to build up a home store for emergency use. Fresh fruits and veggies don't last so they don't work as a long term food supply. And canned ones from the grocery store seem to either have added sugar (fruit) or salt (veggies). Freeze dried fruits and veggies from Thrive Life became my solution. In fact, they have BETTER nutrition than "fresh" from the store because of being picked as ripeness (not before) and the freeze drying process to not let those nutrients deteriorate. (See more about that here on the Why Thrive page)

Now I use fruits and veggies from Thrive ALL THE TIME! They are not only my solution for having a long-term food store but for every day use. Right now, I have an empty chest freezer in my garage because I don't need to use it as much since Thrive foods can sit in my pantry. And no more chopping. I just scoop the amount I need and add it in to what I'm making. In fact - I'm even sneaking more veggies in to other dishes and my kids don't notice. Added nutrition, healthier eating, without complaint.

With the Big Deal sale going on now through April 20th, ALL the fruits and veggies are on sale!

THRIVE Classic Lemonade = FABULOUS!

noreply@blogger.com (Eden) — Mon, 28 Jul 2014 17:14:00 +0000

What do you think lemonade should taste like? My husband and I love a glass of lemonade that the first step makes us pucker our lips and exclaim "Wha!" To find that glass of lemonade requires finding someone who has made lemonade from actual lemons. We've tried making it ourselves using bottled lemon juice but it's just not the same, although it can be good. And of course, we've made plenty of lemonade from the drink mixes from the grocery store. After this summer, though, I can't see us buying those drink mixes anymore, or squeezing any lemons. THRIVE Classic Lemonade is our perfect solution!

For our family 4th of July celebrations, my mom mixed up a pitcher of THRIVE Classic Lemonade. It received rave reviews from everyone. My sister-in-law's mother didn't want to believe that it was made from a mix - "This tastes like you squeezed lemons to make the lemonade!" My nephews finished off the pitcher very quickly.

One reason I love THRIVE Lemonade is its versatility. It comes unsweetened so you decide the sweetener you want to add. So if you prefer sugar substitutes, or want to use a little less sugar, that is up to you. There are no artificial colors or flavors (something I watch for). It's Gluten Free, and non-GMO. Just 1 Pantry Can makes 14 gallons. This is one of those products that I have to keep an eye on my family touching because they could go through a can in just a few days. I've used the Lemonade powder in several recipes including this Lemon Zucchini Bread and in the Lemon Peach Italian Soda from Chef Todd (Thanks to THRIVE ingredients, I can make this soda from scratch in just 5 minutes).

Want some too? Order it here in my online store, or contact me to place your order. But you better do it soon! THRIVE Classic Lemonade is a seasonal product for summer so if you wait, it could be gone. I know that in my next order, I'll be stocking up so we're good until next summer.

Help your kids have the best Lemonade Stand in the neighborhood!

Lemon Zucchini Bread

noreply@blogger.com (Eden) — Sat, 12 Jul 2014 00:48:00 +0000

Quite a while ago, I Pinned this recipe from Nancy Creative but never got around to trying it. Then THRIVE Classic Lemonade came back for the Summer! After reading other consultants talk about using the Lemonade powder in recipes, and having an abundance of zucchini from my garden, I decided now was the time to give it a try and to Thrive-a-lize it!

Results? Delicious! I took it to a family gathering to celebrate my brother's 40th birthday and my nephew's 12th birthday. The family verdict? Delicious! We also had Thrive Classic Lemonade. There were instant raves including the comment "This is a mix? It tastes like freshly squeezed lemonade! I think I need this!"

What did I change? I replaced the lemon juice and lemon zest with THRIVE Classic Lemonade, used THRIVE Whole Egg Powder instead of eggs, and THRIVE Instant Milk (reconstituted). I also replaced half the oil with applesauce to make it a bit healthier.

It was so good I made another loaf yesterday, experimenting with flours and using THRIVE Instant Milk in powder (adding the powder to the flour and adding water to the liquid mix). Although still good, this second loaf wasn't near as amazing as the first. I love the idea of using the milk powder so I'll have to give it another try without the whole wheat flour mix I used.

Ready to try it yourself?

Lemon Zucchini Bread

2 cups all purpose flour
2 teaspoons baking powder

1/2 teaspoon salt

2 T Thrive Whole Egg Powder
1/2 cup canola oil, or a blend of applesauce and oil to total 1/2 cup
2/3 cup sugar

1/2 cup Thrive Instant Milk, reconstituted
1 1/2 teaspoon Thrive Classic Lemonade powder

1 cup grated zucchini
4 T Water

Prep work: Preheat oven to 350 degrees; grease 9x5 loaf pan (I sprayed it with Olive Oil)

In large bowl, combine flour, baking powder, salt, and egg powder.

In a second bowl, combine oil and sugar. Add milk, water, and lemonade powder; mix well. Gently stir in zucchini.
Add wet mixture to flour mix and combine well.

Pour into loaf pan and bake at 350 degrees for 45 minutes.

Lunch-sparked memories

noreply@blogger.com (Eden) — Mon, 23 Jun 2014 18:19:00 +0000

My Dad with my oldest at her first birthday party in 2004

Most of the years I was growing up, my dad worked at a local television station (behind the scenes). It was one of our favorite activities to go to work with Dad. We would take turns, and it was a guaranteed argument if you went two times in a row before one of the other two went. A normal day with Dad usually meant riding behind him on the motorcycle for 45-60 minutes to get to work, arriving about 3 pm. We could explore the station within reason, which included sitting at the anchor desk pretending to give the news. The station also had a swimming pool for employees and their families to use during the summer. Mom would occasionally bring us in to swim and then we'd all go visit Dad. Those visits would mean all 3 of us at the anchor desk, or playing with the "invisibility blanket" used to do the weather forecast. Great memories!

One visit I made with Dad there was a huge buffet of pizza in the employee breakroom. I think it must have been a telethon or some big event because the station didn't normally provide meals. Being a picky kid, I only ate cheese pizza. Being a lunch for adults, there wasn't any cheese pizza. So I gave in and tried a piece of sausage and mushroom pizza. It immediately became my favorite pizza (until I discovered Hawaiian pizza in college).

Today's sausage and mushroom pizza

So why am I going down memory lane today? As I prepped my lunch today, I was thinking how wonderful it is that I never run out of mushrooms and I'm not dealing with mushrooms going bad in my fridge. That is thanks to Thrive FD Mushrooms. I decided to add some FD Sausage because it's so easy to to just sprinkle the amount I want on my pizza and then put the can back in the cupboard. As the sausage was added, I was reminded of that first slice of sausage and mushroom pizza, and times with my Dad. Dad died in 2009 and I find so many foods that trigger memories of him. Today I get to thank Thrive for triggering one.

What foods trigger memories for you?

15 Minute Chicken Fajitas

noreply@blogger.com (Eden) — Fri, 09 May 2014 18:12:00 +0000

With all the reasons Thrive Life has recently shared about why to use Thrive Foods, I've upped our use of Thrive for meals. With the rush to get to soccer practice, games, riding lessons, etc., dinner often needs to be a quick and easy meal. For last night, I planned chicken fajitas. This was my first time trying THRIVE Seasoned Chicken Slices (I've always used the Chopped Chicken for other recipes). I was IMPRESSED! These are huge slices of chicken breast and they rehydrated fast! I had expected dinner to take me 20-30 minutes to prepare but it was ready faster than I could get the table set. And that was while both of my girls were requiring assistance with homework (one in another room).

In between homework problems, I reconstituted the chicken slices and splashed the peppers (I used both red and green bell peppers) and onion with water in a strainer. As the chicken rehydrated, I put a chunk of butter in the pan on high heat. I quickly added the peppers and onion and let them start to carmelize. Then I scooped the chicken out of the bowl of water and added it to my veggies.

It only took a few minutes for the chicken to reheat. I sprinkled it with Chef's Choice (which we add to almost everything now) and added a splash of lime juice. I served the chicken mixture on flour tortillas with Cheddar Cheese (Monterey Jack would be good too) and Sour Cream.

This was also my first time using the Chopped Onions (FD). I will have to admit that for fajitas, I wish the onions were cut a bit bigger but as I pondered it, I couldn't think of any other recipe I'd use a large onion slice for to request "Onion Slices" as a new product.

Here's my put together fajita from last night:

Is there REALLY a difference?

noreply@blogger.com (Eden) — Thu, 08 May 2014 00:30:00 +0000

When I first started looking for more than rice, flour, and sugar in our home store (also known as food storage), I hesitated to buy anything because I was concerned about quality and taste. Then I discovered that Thrive Life does home parties so I could try their products. After tasting THRIVE Foods, I didn't look any further. Just a few months later I became a consultant.

At times I have become tempted to take advantage of a competitor's sale. Why? To be honest, it's because THRIVE Foods are not the least expensive product out there. But I never have given in. Again, why? Two reasons: 1) because as a consultant, I earn free and half-price products and you can't be less expensive than free; 2) I still don't know the quality from the competitor's.

Today, I discovered this You Tube video and knew I needed to share it. There really IS a difference!

I know that Thrive Life places a lot of emphasis on quality. As a consultant, I hear stories of shipments being rejected because the quality didn't match Thrive Life's standards. Sometimes that means we run out of stock. Sometimes, it means having to pay more to get the quality that does meet our standards. Learn more about the quality of THRIVE Foods.

The quality of what I feed to my family is important! I learned that when shopping at the grocery store, periodically trying a new brand (including generics) and learning which ones meet our family's standards and which one's don't. The same is true with freeze dried foods. They are not all the same! For my family, Thrive Food IS the standard.

Our boxes have arrived

noreply@blogger.com (Eden) — Wed, 07 May 2014 01:06:00 +0000

Last week, I took advantage of host benefits I've earned as a Thrive Life Independent Consultant. That meant I got to order almost $400 in product and only pay shipping! I #LoveMyJob! We watched all week for the email saying the order had shipped and when it came, the tracking information said the boxes would arrive on Wednesday.

Look what was waiting for me when we got home this afternoon?! It's Tuesday, not Wednesday.

The girls couldn't wait to break into the boxes- at least they let me get the boxes inside first.

The big box had what they were looking for, but it took a little work to get inside since there were two sealed boxes inside the big box.

Found it! This girl has been waiting since the new product announcements at convention for a can of the Classic Cookie Dough Mix. She was a bit upset that I said no to making chocolate chip cookies for dinner so now she's declared we're making cookies as soon as we get home from soccer.

After pulling out the new products in the Bakery line, it was on to an assortment of fruits, vegetables, yogurt, and meat.

We built pyramids with our shipment. I'll share as we experiment with the new products and recipes!

Reading the labels

noreply@blogger.com (Eden) — Mon, 05 May 2014 20:20:00 +0000

In preparation for making Chicken Fajitas using Thrive tonight, I made a run to the grocery store for some flour tortillas and also some corn tortillas for later in the week. I picked up about 5 different brands to compare ingredients. Have you read the ingredients? Take a look at the ingredients in the corn tortillas from one brand:

Ingredients:

Ground corn treated with lime, water, cellulose gum, propionic acid (to preserve freshness), benzoic acid (to preserve freshness), phosphoric acid (preservative), guar gum, amylase.

Why do my tortillas need cellulose gum?
And now I'm wondering - why do I need cellulose gum in my corn tortillas? It doesn't sound like something I would want to add to my body. And the corn tortillas had the simpler of the two ingredient lists. I try to buy groceries that I recognize the ingredients. Thrive Foods are coming to my rescue more and more as I can easily read the ingredients and even my children know what those ingredients are.

Keeping it realistic
Now MAYBE if I drove across town to a health food store, I could get tortillas that didn't have all these "extra" ingredients. But that's 20 minutes there, plus 20 minutes back. I have had friends share that they make their own - I could probably do that in the same amount of time as driving to the health food store.

It's about my time
But I didn't make the drive to the health food store, or make my own, because I had other things I wanted to do with those 40 minutes. Which then reminds me again why I THRIVE! I could spend hours cooking meals every day, and for special occasions, or days I'm in the mood to cook, I do. I do enjoy cooking, but taking all my available time to prepare a meal is not my ideal. There are so many other things I need (laundry, cleaning the house, errands) and WANT to be doing (spending time with my girls, volunteering in the community, and taking time for rejuvenation in this crazy world).

Thank you THRIVE Life for making a delicious, healthy, home cooked meal in less than 30 minutes a reality in our home!

Limited Time Price on Harvest 72" #10

noreply@blogger.com (Eden) — Thu, 01 May 2014 14:00:00 +0000

I am super excited about this limited time special price on the Harvest 72" #10 Food Rotation System! This is one of my favorite products! Starting today through May 31st (or while supplies last), you can order this system through me for $224.99! To get this pricing, you must order through me, not through my online store. Retail price is $459.99 and the normal Q Club price is $264.99. The Harvest 39" #10 is part of the May Specials for $180.99. The different between the two is simply the height.

The Harvest 72" #10 holds up to 112 gallon sized cans (#10 cans) and makes it easy for any member of your family to go get the item you're needing out of your home store. The Harvest 39" #10 will hold 56 #10 cans. Both are 36.5" wide and 24.5" deep. We have a single story home so this doesn't work for me but the Harvest 39" can be great for using some wasted space under the stairs.

Quick Individual Pizzas

noreply@blogger.com (Eden) — Fri, 25 Apr 2014 00:22:00 +0000

Thursday nights, I don't get home until 6 pm from activities. Some days I'm on the ball and have dinner in the crockpot waiting for our return. Today, I was stumped on what to make. And then just before leaving I decided we'd have individual pizzas but I failed to rehydrate the Thrive Freeze-dried Mozzarella Cheese. Oh well - we'll do it as we go.

I got home from our horse class and pulled up our favorite pizza sauce recipe (using Thrive Tomato Powder, thank you very much). While waiting for the water to boil for the sauce, I poured the cheese into a strainer, set it in a bowl and covered the cheese with water. When the sauce was done, so was the cheese. I removed the strainer from the bowl of water to let it drain. I quickly put sauce on pita bread, topped it with the mozzarella (plus a little cheddar I had on hand), then came time for individual toppings.

My choice: Mushrooms, Pineapple and Spinach. I think the freeze dried Spinach would work great for this but I have a big container of fresh spinach on hand for salads so I used it.

7 y/o's choice: Pineapple

11 y/o's choice: Ground Beef

My husband was the only one who didn't use THRIVE for his toppings - he chose Pepperoni.

Into a 400 degree oven for 7 minutes and dinner was done! If I'd had the pizza sauce ready before hand (like I will next time with this week's remaining sauce), these pizzas can be ready in less than 15 minutes!

Other options from THRIVE: tomato dices, green bell peppers, red bell peppers, sausage, green onions (sounds strange but it's actually good), diced chicken, and onions. The THRIVE advantage is no chopping and no waste. For the ground beef, I didn't have to brown a whole pound. I simply scooped out the amount I needed, splashed it in water and put it on her pizza. For the mushrooms and pineapple, same thing, and NO CHOPPING. No chopping means less clean up (knife, cutting board, juice on the counter).

Having a wide variety of THRIVE vegetables and meats is great for when we host pizza parties because everyone can so easily make their own pizza and I have little prep time!

What topping will you put on your pizza?

Cruising the Caribbean and Dream Big Tour

noreply@blogger.com (Eden) — Mon, 21 Apr 2014 19:15:00 +0000

In January, my friend and upline was in Puerto Vallarta thanks to Thrive Life. Because of her efforts as a Thrive Life Independent Consultant, she won a trip for two to Puerto Vallarta. I was jealous but she totally earned it. She's a rock star!

At convention this month, Thrive Life announced ALL Thrive Life Independent Consultants have the opportunity to win a CRUISE to the Caribbean in January 2015. Now it's my turn to be a rock star, and you can be too!

How? Join my team today and start earning points towards the Fantasy Getaway cruise. ALL consultants who earn 2000 points by Oct 31, 2014, will win a Caribbean cruise for two. NOW is the time to sign up! 2000 points is VERY doable! Contact me to learn more about becoming a consultant or to sign up. To sign up, you'll need my consultant id (5892) and my email address (imthriving@gmail.com). In September, you want to be one of those saying "I've got it!" and not one saying "I should have signed up this Spring!"

Want to learn more from the top? There are a few Dream Big Tour events still upcoming. Jason Norton, Executive Vice President, will be presenting May 6 in Fredericksburg, VA, and May 7th in Philadelphia, PA. Eric Morgan, Director of Marketing, will be presenting May 27-29th in British Columbia and Alberta. Get times and locations for these 5 events on the Dream Big Tour webpage. Consultants who sign up at these meetings will receive $40 off their starter kit. Don't forget my name and to take my consultant ID (5892) and email (imthriving@gmail.com) with you to join my team while at the event. I attended one of these meetings in Springfield, MO, earlier this year and it was fabulous!

In addition, Sandi Pearce, a Platinum Executive Thrive Life Independent Consultant, will be having cooking classes and Opportunity/Training Meetings in Ohio at the end of this week. Contact me to learn more about Sandi's meetings.
