My favorite way to start a crisp and chilly morning camping is with a hot cup of tea. I save my Creme de la Creme Earl Grey tea for special occasions just like this.

Of course after the second week back at school my kids came home with sniffles so I have a soothing cup of Turmeric & Ginger Enhanced Herbal tea for them to start their day.

Happy Saturday everyone!!

Our coat and cook blends are a healthier take on the traditional shake'n'bake and they come in 3 flavors. They have psyllium husks to promote a feeling of fullness, use them to coat protein or even veggies!

Tonight I went with Mexican flavors and created Tex Mex Turkey strips with a plate of veggies. I drizzled El Dorado all over to complete the meal.

Fuel for the day for my kiddos! With 20g of protein per serving I was able to make sure my kids got 5g of protein at breakfast this morning by serving them 2 pancakes. They thought they were getting a treat because of the Cocoa Acai Smoothie Booster making them chocolatey plus a couple chocolate chips to seal the deal!

at some exciting new products launching Sept 1 in the fall catalog.

After a day of being in the kitchen canning peaches the last thing I wanted to do was cook dinner. Epicure to the rescue with a new meal solution. In less than 10 minutes I whipped up some and enjoyed a restaurant quality dish. I am so impressed with this meal!
Any guesses what new product I tested out tonight?

Starting my 3 day reset after a week away camping and indulging in ice cream with the kids (which means also finishing what they can't finish lol)

I absolutely love the bold flavors of curry, corriander and anise seed in the Le Taj Secret Sauce. It pairs perfectly with sweet potatoes!

This isn't our typical camping breakfast of sausages, eggs, hash browns and beans but it sure is great fuel for the body to start the day!

Made a delicious veggie/mozza omelet and seasoned with Paris Bistro Secret Sauce. Mmmm

Summer is such a busy time full of camping, beach days, never ending yard work and plenty of mini excursions with the kids. Meal time can feel like such a chore after a busy and hot day, but not with Epicure.

LOVE LOVE LOVE grilled Caesar salad! You can tell by the picture I also love parmesan cheese lol. Next time I will try for more grilled marks but the lettuce gets a whole new flavor when you grill it. I found it to be less work than cutting into bite size pieces, washing and mixing a traditional bowl of salad.

It paired perfectly with Oh Canada Glazed salmon and rice. This meal was about 25min from raw to ready with very little work!

This scrumptious looking meal is on the menu plan for my company tomorrow night. I typically wouldn't experiment with recipes when I'm having people over for dinner but how delicious does this look? I'm sure it will be a big hit!

Last night was my first freezer meal workshop and it went great!! We prepped 5 meals that can be frozen and then cooked in the slow cooker. We sipped on some Citron Sencha lemonade and snacked on the famous extraordinary cheese dip while enjoying the company of each other.

This was one of the meals- creamy salsa chicken. It uses Epicures salsa mix and only three other ingredients!! How easy is that? It turned out amazing. I decided to wrap it in a tortilla with homemade guacamole.

Ask me how you can stock your freezer with ready to cook meals your family will love. Host a freezer meal workshop and get all the awesome hostess benefits.

Thai Salad Rolls

Here is a link to the delicious noodle wraps I posted yesterday. The recipe made plenty so there will be leftovers!

I have a few assembled in the fridge now, plus I mixed the filling ingredients all together to also have a Thai noodle salad that I will add more veggies to and serve with dinner tonight.

The peanut satay sauce recipe will be in the comments. It is a must have for dipping the wraps into!

epicure.com A great light lunch, appetizer, or snack on the go. Traditionally dipped in Satay Sauce, Hot & Spicy Stir-fry Marinade, or Ultimate Asian Sauce and eaten whole. Perfectly balance your plate: Serve with ½ C (125 ml) mixed veggies and 2 tsp (10 ml) Epicure dip.
