I’ll be honest, I have been in five direct sales businesses! Let’s see, it started with Mary Kay while I was in college. I thought, for sure, I could sell it to all my college friends! I don’t know what I was thinking – I am terrible at matching skin tones to colors! I never even held a party! Then it was Princess House. They have such beautiful dishes and the most amazing baskets! That didn’t last long! Do you know how heavy all that is to lug around and set up at someone’s house?!? Then it was Creative Memories. That was fun and I did some parties, but the cost of product was just too much for me. I was out of direct sales for a few years. Then, I found Stampin ‘ Up! I fell in love with products and joined withing a few days! I am happy to report I have been with Stampin’ Up! for almost 10 years. Then, the other day, I needed bread and that’s why I joined Tastefully Simple!
Homemade Bread Turned into a Business – THIS is why I joined Tastefully Simple!
I have tried so many Tastefully Simple products in the past and loved everything I made. The other day, I was struggling because we were running out of bread. And, during this quarantine time, you just never know if you are going to “win the food lotto” and get what you actually picked on your store pick up or delivery shopping list. I have active yeast in the fridge, but I just didn’t feel like taking the time to make homemade bread from scratch. (I swear I am going to before the yeast expires!)
Then I remembered Tastefully Simple’s delicious Bountiful Beer Bread! If you have yet to try it, order some, now! It’s so yummy and when you add an egg to the mix, it makes it an awesome bread for sandwiches. (Also, it doesn’t need to be made with beer, you can make it with any carbonated beverage)
I didn’t have the mix in my house so I went to their site and they had this AMAZING offer to join as a consultant.
So, I said “ok”! That day I joined Tastefully Simple, and now I am an Independent Tastefully Simple Consultant. YAY!
I’m telling you this because, since I joined, I have come to appreciate this company and their products even more! Not only is everything delicious, but 85% of their products are clean eating. Therefore, they are not full of artificial colors and flavors.

Onion, Onion is a lifesaver for time and tears in the kitchen!
I do love onions in my food, but my eyes fill up with tears as soon as I make that first cut! My husband loves onions and I do make him cut them when we need them. However, now that I have Onion, Onion I can more easily make things without him needing to be available to cut the onions for me. Just one tablespoons of Onion, Onion is equivalent to 6TBSP of fresh onions! And I never shed a tear!
Black Bean Corn Salsa
I think I could eat the whole jar of Black Bean Corn Salsa in a sitting. Probably not the best idea, but it is delicious! I love it on chicken, on a salad or with chips.
Truffle Fudge Brownie Mix / Creamy Caramel Sauce
I don’t know about you, but I can’t say no to brownies! And adding some caramel? YES PLEASE!
Nana’s Apple Bread Mix
I have become such a huge fan of apple desserts this past year. We went apple picking and I made cobblers, pies and breads. This is such a simple mix and so applicious!
Speaking of dessert or even breakfast breads, I also LOVE the Cinnamon Muffin Mix!!!
