As a mom of two very active little girls I often find myself on the go most of the week. Between school pick ups and drop offs, AWANA, homework,and gymnastics, figuring out whats for dinner often finds itself buried at the very bottom of my to do list. Many days I find myself scrambling to figure out what to feed my family and I am always on the lookout for things that will help take the guesswork out of this whole process. I am sure that if you ask any busy mom to name one problem that she consistently faces, I am certain that many will say that they too find themselves facing the "Whats for dinner?" dilemma?
I recently had the opportunity to host a party for a dear friend who is a Tastefully simple consultant. Up until my party I had heard of Tastefully Simple but my interactions had been very limited. If you ask any of my friends, they will all tell you that the way to my heart is with good food, so of course I was excited to host when she told me there would be food involved. The basic premise of Tastefully Simple is providing products that help you make meals and entertaining simple and easy. At the party we were able to try out several of the top products that Tastefully Simple had to offer. We were able to feast on things like guacamole, salsa, Beer Bread, Pomegranate Bacon wrapped chicken bites (a big hit), Savory Chicken, Lemon Pound cake (which was amazing), Mango Lime Margarita (a party favorite), and several homemade dips. Everyone seemed to really enjoy all of the items and many of the children loved the food as well. Along with the food tasting we also did a Savory Chicken make and take entree, which served as dinner later that night for many of the moms that attended.
After tasting all the great food I decided to give the Meals and More plan a try and see if this may be a solution for me and my family. Tastefully simple offers two types of Meal collections, a 10 and a 30 meal collection. The 10 Meals & More Collection sells for $69.95, and the 30 Meals & More Collection sells for $200.00. You can sign up to receive the collection one time or you can sign up for the TS to You option. If you decide to sign up for the TS to You plan, you'll received a meal collection every other month, automatically, and you will receive a 10% reward for future use. What I liked about these collections is that both come with recipe cards and grocery lists which will help make your meal planning even easier. One of the other perks of these connections is that both average out to $3 per serving and what mom doesn't like to save money. The 30 meals and more collections consists of 3 individual 10 meals and more collections which include: Fix it Fast, Easy Grillin', and Family favorites. After looking at this months recipes, I decided to try out the Easy Grillin' collection. Recipes in my collection include things like: Roasted Onion Turkey Tenderloin Salad, Open-Faced Patty Melts,Green Tea Peppercorn BBQ Chicken, Shallot Tarragon Grilled Chicken, Zesty Marinated BBQ Chops, and Bourbon BBQ Steak.
I was excited because when my children saw the pictures of the food they immediately started pointing out some of their favorites.
Currently I am awaiting my 10 meals and more collection to arrive so you will have to check back later to see a review of the products and recipes that I receive. Until then be sure to check out my friend Zelta's Tastefully Simple website for more information on their products. https://www.tastefullysimple.com/web/zmiller
