How about some recipes?



  • The more, the merrier! Make marvelous mini-meatballs by adding Bacon Bacon™, Onion Onion™, Seasoned Salt and sharp Cheddar cheese to your favorite meatloaf recipe. Roll into 1-inch balls; bake and serve hot, skewered with cocktail picks and cherry tomatoes.
  • Add cream cheese and chopped red bell peppers to Bruschetta Cheese Ball Mix. Chill and serve with crusty bread, crostini or crisp veggies.
  • And for a creamy crowd-pleaser, stir flaked crab or cooked cocktail shrimp into Artichoke & Spinach Warm Dip before baking. Serve hot with French bread or chips.
  • Slice chicken breasts into cubes. Wrap a half slice of bacon around each one; secure with toothpicks. Brush with Bayou Bourbon™ Glaze, and bake until bacon is crisp.

If anybody out there hasn't tried Tastefully Simple, I can vouch that the products are VERY tasty! I love to cook, but was expecting our 2nd child last year so when I was invited to a party I indulged in a few items to make life easier while we adjusted to having 2 little ones. I've personally used the Bountiful Beer Bread mix, Garlic Garlic! seasoning, Fiesta Party Dip Mix (great for spicing up soups - homemade chicken corn chowder anyone?), Pomegranate Chipotle Sauce and Creamy Wild Rice Soup Mix. They are all FABULOUS! Several of them were perfect to use in easy holiday appetizers that got rave reviews and no leftovers at family gatherings :) You can bet I'll be taking advantage of this fundraiser!

Thanks, Elizabeth, for your testimony! I am the consultant offering this fundraiser. Like you, I love to cook, so was first suspect about the TS products. I was afraid they would be 'fast food products' with a 'fast food' taste. I learned quickly when I attended my first party that I was very wrong. These products are EASY and DELICIOUS. You can use them as instructed on the directions - or use them in more creative and elaborate ways. Incorporate them into your favorite recipes, or find recipes on the website. You can't go wrong. After attending my first TS party - I fell in love with the products and decided to become a consultant.
