Simple Indulgence Cilantro Mojo Seasoning Blend

It's time for a new recipe. We are very fortunate to have a large Hispanic segment within our Tupperware organization, and with that we have their influence on colours and in recipes.

Having been very impressed with Tupperware's exclusive Simple Indulgence seasonings I've tried, I purchased the cilantro mojo seasoning blend, and was curious about how I would use it. Here is the recipe from the package:

Mojo Papas

3 lbs small red potatoes quartered

1/2 onion sliced lenghwise

2 Tbsp extra virgin olive oil

2 tsp Simple Indulgence Cilantro Mojo Seasoning Blend

Preheat oven to 350 degrees F. Place potatoes in baking pan. Using the Saucy Silicone Spatula, mix in onions and extra virgin olive oil. Sprinkle with Simple Indulgence Cilantro Mojo Seasong Blend, tossing to coat. Bake at 350 degrees F for 40-45 minutes or until potatoes are tender.

Or try this recipe that is found on the Tupperware website:

Tomato Salad with Caribbean
Cilantro Mojo Dressing

Serves 6

2 large tomatoes, cut into wedges
1 large red onion, sliced thin

Mojo Vinaigrette, recipe below

2 large ripe Haas avocados, cut into thin wedges

cilantro leaves, garnish

Caribbean Cilantro Mojo Dressing

¼ cup fresh lime juice
2 tbsp. rice wine vinegar
1 tbsp. honey
¼ cup cilantro, chopped
2 tsp. Simple Indulgence™ Cilantro Mojo Seasoning Blend
½ cup extra virgin olive oil
salt and freshly ground pepper to taste

In the Quick Shake® Container, combine the lime juice, rice wine vinegar, honey, cilantro, Simple Indulgence™ Cilantro Mojo Seasoning Blend and salt and pepper to taste. Add olive oil slowly in small amounts until well-combined. Re-season with salt and pepper, if necessary. Cut the tomatoes, onions, and avocadoes using the Chef Series™ Paring Knife. In a Thatsa® Bowl using a Saucy Silicone Spatula, combine tomatoes, onion and dressing, toss to combine. Add avocado and gently mix. Place the tomato mixture in an Ice Prisms™ Medium Bowl lined with salad greens. Garnish with cilantro leaves.

I'll be trying both these recipes soon.

Give them a try and let me know what you think. I'll post your thoughts right here on my blog!

Would you like to be wealthy?

It might seem an odd title on a Tupperware blog, but I think you'll find it appropriate. I was recently listening to a podcast where My Monthly Mentor Raymond Aaron was interviewing the Rich Dad Poor Dad author Robert Kiyosaki. They were talking about how to become rich. Robert suggested that there are lots of rich people out there who are willing to share what they do and what they know, and that one should volunteer to work for those people. In the process of working for that person one would learn the strategies that made the rich person rich and become rich too!

He also suggested that there are lots of great learning grounds out there, including MLM's and Franchises. It made me think about Tupperware, not that it is really either of these, but that it offers training in all sorts of areas of business. To follow Tupperware's training strategies is to get a great business education. This education can be applied to any business and in all areas of life. Tupperware teaches us how to run a business, and great selling skills, and isn't that something we all need? After all, we are all in sales. When we talked our parents into that new puppy, when we got our first job, our first (and subsequent) dates, a raise... everything we do is sales.

So jump on the business opportunity that Tupperware offers, and join me in a really fun business. Learn from the best and never look back. You'll be on your way to becoming rich too!

Chef Lucas' Mexican-Style Chicken Burgers

Enjoy a new take on an old favourite! This recipe was created by Chef Lucas for the Hispanic market, but knowing how we love to try new things, I thought you might like to add it to your reperotoire.

Chef Lucas’ Mexican-Style Chicken Burgers

• 1 lb. ground chicken
• 1 egg
• 1 Tbsp. capers
• 1 medium tomato
• 1/2 purple onion finely chopped
• 1 cup cilantro (chopped)
• 1 Tbsp. hot sauce
• salt and pepper to taste
• 4 pieces Pita Bread or Whole Wheat Hamburger Buns
• lemon juice

In a bowl, add egg and beat with salt, pepper and hot sauce. Add chicken, onion and
tomato, finely chopped. Next, add cilantro and capers.

Make medium-size balls and place them in the Tupperware Burger Press. Grill on each side as desired. Once they are ready, sprinkle with lemon juice. Cut the bread in halves and place Mexican-Style Chicken Burgers on them. Garnish with lettuce and tomato and other condiments as desired.

Bridal Showers

I love Bridal Showers! Do you want to know why? It's because I take such pleasure in giving the Bride to be a beautiful Tupperware gift! The hardest thing of all is deciding what to give with so many perfect items or combination of items to choose from.

Today I attended a lovely Bridal Shower and I want to share with you the gift that I took. It was a 3 piece set of FridgeSmart Containers, a set of 2 Forget Me Nots and a Micro Fiber Kitchen Towel, all cello wrapped and decorated with a FlatOut Key Chain. No other wrapping is necessary because Tupperware is so beautiful it makes the present!



I don't think any household is complete without at least 1 set of these in the refrigerator!

New Chef Promotes Healthy Eating at Tupperware

Tupperware has a new chef!

Chef Stuart O'Keefe is a handsome addition to our Tupperware family, whose role is to provide healthy, nutritious recipes that consultants can share with their customers. Over the next few months look for new, simple recipes on my blog, and give me a call if you would like me to demonstrate their preparation to you and your friends.

Here is the 1st recipe. I made it and we enjoyed it so much that I made it again the following day! Give it a try.


Chef Stuart's Turkey Burgers

▪ 1 lb. ground turkey
▪ 1 cup red onions, minced
▪ 2 tsp. olive oil
▪ 1 clove garlic, minced
▪ 1/2 tsp. fresh rosemary, roughly chopped
▪ Kosher salt and black pepper to taste

▪ 4 whole wheat hamburger buns

Coat grill rack with oil and adjust temperature to medium heat. Mix turkey, onion, olive oil, garlic, rosemary and dashes of salt and pepper. Mold four one-inch thick turkey patties. Grill for approximately five minutes on each side.

Offer a variety of condiments so your guests can create their own burger. My personal favorites are crumbled blue cheese, caramelized onions, lettuce and tomato jam.

No Recession In Tupperware!

HOLIDAY 2008

Special Edition

Consultants Driving Company’s Growth
Fueling that growth is the Tupperware Opportunity.

Thousands of women and men in North America looking for a source of income aren’t waiting for government bailouts to take effect. Instead, they’re taking charge of their futures and starting their own Tupperware businesses.

A FUN, CONTEMPORARY PARTY

The Tupperware party and the Tupperware Opportunity are
lauded by many of today's hottest celebrities, including Mariska Hargitay, Tori Spelling and Ice-T. “The party today is really a girl's night out,” said Goings during a recent interview
with the Orlando Sentinel. “It's women getting together. It is interactive. They have a lot of fun.
“And...you've got...a compensation program that makes people say, ‘Hey, I can earn great money holding these parties and building my own sales organization.’ There is a party starting
every two and a half seconds.”

EXCITING PRODUCTS TO SHARE

Besides updated classics, Tupperware now offers cookware and kitchen gadgets, teas and related products, interactive children’s toys, and on-the-go food storage options. “Our focus is on saving people time and money and helping them live healthier lives,” said Kanwar S. Bhutani, president, Tupperware U.S. and Canada.

Multiple Avenues to Success

While the home party continues to be the heart of the business model, Tupperware Consultants also sell through their own personalized Web sites. A Web site promotes a Tupperware consultant’s business and is open 24 hours a day, seven days a week. And, there are no geographic boundaries for selling or encouraging other people to start their own home-based businesses.

Savvy Tupperware Consultants also find financial success and personal satisfaction in helping other people—and their families—achieve their goals. Tupperware Consultants are reaching out to others in search of more income, work-life balance and greater flexibility, and welcoming them as they open their own home-based businesses.

TOP-NOTCH CORPORATE REPUTATION

That focus was recognized this year when Forbes magazine included Tupperware Brands Corporation. on its “Most Admired Companies” list. Tupperware was ranked No. 2 in the
Household Products category.

NO EXPERIENCE NEEDED - LEARN MORE

Tupperware Sales ForceMembers enjoy meeting with potential new Consultants, answering questions about becoming a Tupperware Consultant and taking applicants through the easy steps to starting their very own business, Bhutani said. He suggested that people interested in learning more contact their Tupperware Consultant.

Call me (Cheryll) at 604.261.1509 or e-mail me cforge@aol.com for more information.

The company also should do well in 2009, he said. In fact, women and men across North America are turning to Tupperware for a lucrative earning opportunity during these stressful economic times.

COMPANYOFFERS SPECIAL SAVINGS FOR NEW SELLERS

To support new Consultants as they start their businesses, Tupperware is offering a special incentive. When a new Consultant achieves $500 or more in personal sales during their first 30 days in business, they qualify to save 60%on the purchase of their choice of two sets-the Vent 'N Serve™ 5 Pc. Large Set or the Modular Mates® Starter System Set.

Outlook Bright With Tupperware

Orlando, FL—Tupperware is a bright spot on the economic landscape, even in today’s tough business climate. "We are pleased to report another strong quarter of sales growth," said Rick Goings, chairman and chief executive officer of Tupperware Brands Corp., when the company released its third quarter 2008 earnings.

Empanadas Anyone?

I just can't seem to help myself... when I see something fun and different, I really have to try it! So here it is, my 1st attempt at making Apple Cinnamon Empanadas! Delicious! Recipe to follow.

Let's start with the pastry. It was suggested that we use a 15 oz. package of refrigerated piecrust or packaged empanada dough, but I just can't bring myself to use processed foods. I found a recipe on Epicurious that had been review by several people and given a great rating, so I decided to use it. I made it in my Quick Chef and was really pleased with the results, but I will provide the original recipe for you just in case you haven't gotten your Quick Chef yet.

Both the dough and the filling makes enough for 12 pastries. Try them with savoury fillings too.

Empanada Dough

Ingredients

2 1/4 cups unbleached all-purpose flour
1 1/2 teaspoons salt
1 stick (1/2 cup) cold unsalted butter, cut into 1/2-inch cubes
1 large egg
1/3 cup ice water
1 tablespoon distilled white vinegar

Preparation

Sift flour with salt into a large bowl and blend in butter with your fingertips or a pastry blender until mixture resembles coarse meal with some (roughly pea-size) butter lumps.
Beat together egg, water, and vinegar in a small bowl with a fork. Add to flour mixture, stirring with fork until just incorporated. (Mixture will look shaggy.)
Turn out mixture onto a lightly floured surface and gather together, then knead gently with heel of your hand once or twice, just enough to bring dough together. Form dough into a flat rectangle and chill, wrapped in plastic wrap, at least 1 hour.

Apple Cinnamon Filling

Ingredients

4 apples peeled and cored
(or a 21 oz. can of sliced apples, drained)
1 lemon (use juice and zest)
1 tbsp. cornstarch
1 tsp. Simple Indulgence Cinnamon & Vanilla Seasoning Blend
1/4 cup sugar
1/4 cup brown sugar
1 tbsp. butter
1/4 cup raisins

Place apples in Quick Chef (Ok, now you need the Quick Chef!)with blade attachment. Add remaining ingredients, cover and process until coarsely chopped. Melt butter over medium heat in Chef Series 9-1/2" Nonstick Fry Pan. Add apples and stir to coat. Lower heat and cook apple mixture 5 minutes until soft. Add raisins and cook until mixture has thickened. Remove from heat and allow to cool slightly.

Preheat oven to 375 degrees F. Roll dough to a 12" circle on the Simply Perfect Pastry Sheet. Using the bottomside of the Empanada Maker, cut 4 rounds of pastry. Re-roll dough as needed. Place a cut round of pastry on the Empanada Maker; moisten edges with beaten egg or water.

Place heaping tbsp. of filling in center of Empanada Maker and close, pressing tightly to seal. Open and remove the sealed empanada and place on baking sheet lined with the Silicone Wonder Mat. Brush tops of empanadas with beaten egg. Bake 12-15 minutes or until golden brown.

Trends for 2009

At this time of year it is interesting to project forward and imagine what the new year will bring. When a recent survey asked what's important to people, many answered with a common theme. That theme is HOME. HOME is an acronym for the following:

Health
Organization
Money
Environment

How can we improve our health and that of our families, increase our organization in kitchens and homes, save money, and take care of the environment? The answer can be found in a line of products... and those products are produced by Tupperware! You might ask how Tupperware can help in all of these areas?

Tupperware prevents the loss of vitamins and minerals from foods, that are stored in our refrigerators, freezers, and cupboards. Since we know "we are what we eat", there is one step towards maintaining and improving health.

Organization is a big challenge for all of us. Modular Mate containers in our kitchen cupboards, FridgeSmart containers in our fridges, along with Freezer Square Rounds in our fridges and freezers, go a long way in organizing the room that seems to be a collect all. When our kitchens are organized there is a feeling of organization throughout our homes.

With these challenging and uncertain economic times, everyone is concerned. Let's use Tupperware to extend and preserve the life of those expensive groceries, and save money big time. With FridgeSmart containers, we won't be dumping limp produce in the compost or garbage at the end of the week, and Modular Mates will keep our pantry items fresh and bug free. These are sure ways to save money.

And what about the environment? Can Tupperware help us go GREEN? Tupperware is 62 years old, and an original green company, that creates very high quality containers and tools, meant to be reused, last a lifetime, and not end up in the landfill.

On the topic of the environment, here are a couple of statistics for you: Did you know that 31 billion liters of water are produced every year in the US, so that people can take water with them? Those bottles require some 17 million barrels of oil for production, and many of them end up in landfills and in our waterways. Lots of those plastic bottles end up in mass on the floor of our oceans, and others negatively impact animal all around the world. Also consider that it takes more energy to recycle plastic bottles than to manufacture new ones, to realize that we must halt or at least reduce their use. Halting or reducing disposible water bottle use also decreases our dependence on foreign oil producers, a state that is good for all of us.

So where does Tupperware fit in? For starters Tupperware has many styles of beverage containers for both hot and cold drinks to choose from, that are reuseable and dishwasher safe. Let's all do what we can to reduce our impact on the environment, by doing something as simple as, taking our water with us in a reuseable container, and to choose containers that are meant to be reused whenever we can. That is better for both us and our environment.

So think about HOME and what it means to you... and when you start to think seriously about HOME... think Tupperware! Then give me a call to find out how you can get FREE Tupperware, another money saving idea!

Sandy's Famous Jello Squares

Sandy hosted a Tupperware party recently and served these delightful Jello Squares. We were all impressed with the squares, and had a lot of fun decorating them with whipped cream using the new Squeeze It Decorator. It was fun for both kids and adults! Thanks Sandy for sharing your family recipe with us!

Sandy's Famous Jello Squares

4 small packages - different coloured Jello
1 can Eagle Brand Sweetened Condensed Milk
7 packets Knox Unflavoured Gelatin

Divide the condensed milk into 3 equal parts, 1/3 cup each.

Add 2/3 cup of boiling water and 1 pkg of gelatin to each 1/3 cup of milk, stirring well after addition.

To each pkg of Jello add 1 pkg of gelatin and 1 cup of boiling water. Stir well.

Pour one cooled Jello mixture into a 9" X 12" Tupperware Prep Essentials Cold Cut Keeper, and place in fridge on level shelf for 20 minutes.

Pour milk mixture onto set Jello layer and place back in fridge for 20 minute while this layer sets.

Repeat, alternating Jello with milk mixture and placing in fridge for 20 minutes in between.

Tip: Don't let the layers set too long or the Jello will become too hard and the layers will separate.

Also, be sure to use a Tupperware container to layer the Jello in, as the squares will stick to metal. You could substitute a glass 9" X 13" pan in a pinch.

Before serving place container in warm water for a few minutes for the edges to soften. Then cut with a wet knife into 1" squares or diamonds being careful not to cut your container. Serve on plate or in small decorative muffin cups.

Enjoy!

Note: This recipe might seem a little time consuming at first, but with practice you'll have it down pat... then you'll be famous just like Sandy!

Smart Savings are in the Bag!

Recent research shows that more people are eating out less in order to save money. By making and taking lunch to work, you can save serious dollars.

Let’s say you spend $7 a day or $35 a week for lunch, $5 a day or $25/week for coffee and/or breakfast, and around $8 a week for gas to travel to and from lunch. Your total expenditure is $68 a week or over $3500 a year! In many cases, that total can easily rise to between $3900 and $5200 a year!

With increased economic pressures, you have a great opportunity to save money with Tupperware® products. See how easy it is to create tasty, healthy and affordable lunches from leftovers or from your imagination. You can stock up on lunch tips by searching for “healthy lunch tips” on the internet.

Think about how much money you can save with Tupperware® products. And unlike storage bags and cheap imitations, Tupperware® products are designed to last so they won’t be tossed into landfills, creating a win, win situation!

Ladies and Gentlemen! Start Your Ovens... its baking season!

Recently a customer asked me to track down a Tupperware Silicone Fluted Baking Pan that she needed for a simple cake recipe a friend had given her. The process reminded me that I should dust my silcone bakeware off and do some baking too. I baked these muffins and shared one with a neighbour who asked me to post the recipe.

Greta's Blueberry Muffins

I was lucky enough to get to know Greta, the woman who was head of food services at an exclusive, private club in Vancouver. Just before she retired, she was kind enough to share her recipe for the best blueberry muffins I have ever eaten.
I guess it pays to rave about someone's cooking!

This recipe makes 24 large muffins that freeze beautifully. They are great to have on hand for breakfast or make them into mini's for snacks after school.


Pictured are my freshly baked muffins, baked in the Tupperware Silicone Muffin Pans. These muffin pans make great muffins and are easy to clean - things that are important to me when I bake.

Greta's Blueberry Muffins

5 cups flour
2 cups wheat germ
1-1/2 cups sugar
2 Tbsp baking powder
2 tsp baking soda
1/2 tsp salt

3 eggs
1 liter buttermilk
1/2 cup oil

3 cups fresh or frozen blueberries

In large bowl, mix together dry ingredients. In separate bowl, whisk eggs; add buttermilk and oil. Add wet ingredients to dry and mix lightly just until moistened. Fold in blueberries. Scoop into Tupperware Silicone Muffin Pans or lightly oiled or paper lined muffin tins.

Bake in 375 degree oven for 20 - 25 minutes or until lightly browned on top.

Thanks Greta! Now we can all enjoy these muffins!

FridgeSmart Containers are a Necessity!

Just look at what I picked up in my basket at the local farmers market! I couldn't resist showing you what I do with it when I get home.


My 2 butter lettuces are rinsed and placed in a large FridgeSmart Container, where they will be refrigerated until I prepare a salad for dinner. You might notice the fresh broccoli in another FridgeSmart Container, and last but not least, those beautiful greens of Swiss Chard and Beets will occupy a third large FridgeSmart Container. Everything is ready to prepare, and will keep way better than if stored in a plastic bag.

And did you notice? I didn't need to pick up even 1 plastic bag at the market! Can you tell? I love my folding baskets and my Tupperware! They save me both time and money, and I have the freshest produce in town!
