Cooking with THRIVE - Breakfast Burritos

This morning it was on to trying the Scrambled Egg Powder.  I decided to make breakfast burritos.  My sausage crumbles were a bit old.  Other than that, it was really good, and I'd make them again!  This recipe makes enough for 5 people.  The recipe states 8, but they must be really skimpy helpings.  I'm trying to watch my weight right now, so I didn't add the cheese or the tortilla, but that would've been delish!

Breakfast Burritos, by Chef Todd

Easy prep.  No chopping or dealing with raw meat!

Wish you could smell this!

Took me about 5-8 minutes to make and prep!  Wow!  Loving this!  -Cami

Cooking with THRIVE - Chicken and Rice Yumminess!

Here is my plan...I want to cook with THRIVE foods for one week, at least one meal a day, if not more.  One of the Platinums at Convention mentioned that she only ate from her THRIVE home store for, I think, one month.  She wanted to see if she really could live off of it, and she wanted to be able to tell her customers that the food really could be used on a daily basis.  She didn't want to tell them something she didn't really know or believe.  So she did this little experiment.  I don't think I could do a month, but I can do a week, and I can do one meal a week.  What about you?  I would challenge you to  give it a try!  I was doing my PATH homework the other night and it asked me to start cooking with THRIVE.  Now, I do cook with THRIVE, but it's not everyday.  It's usually when I'm missing an ingredient to a recipe and don't want to run to the store.  However, I've resolved that if I'm going to tell my customers to do it, I'm going to do it more often too.  Thus my experiment!

On tonight's menu is this little ditty:
Chicken and Rice, by CT...AKA Chef Todd.

I chose it because it had the new seasonings and Veloute sauce in it.  I wanted to give those a try!  I rate it a perfect 10 because it was so easy to make and it tasted wonderful. I'd have to say that the new seasonings are turning out to be some of my favorite things!  They make everything taste so fresh!  This recipe has the Italian Seasoning and the Chef's Choice.  LOVE!!!

One pot dinner!  LOVE!

Can you believe that this is all I had to do to make this great dinner?  

I did a few things differently than the recipe called for.  I didn't incorporate the rice.  I don't love instant rice, so I made mine separatly and put the sauce on top.  I chose to use the Seasoned Sliced Chicken too, because I wanted big chunks of meat for dinner.

The NEW Q

We've had some big changes come down the line regarding the Q.  I wasn't so sure I loved the new Q when I got in there and started playing around with it.  It really confused me for awhile and it's always hard to get use to something new.  However, after watching all the tutorials and after making a mess of things, I think I've figured it out!  I decided to make this training video to help you guys out.  I made it without planning what I was going to say....so forgive the bloopers.  I hope it helps clear up some things.  If you still have questions that I haven't answered in the video, leave me a comment!

Updates to the Q Club and associated promotion were announced at convention. Starting on April 1st, the Q Club will no longer have different levels. All Q customers will either be on the Q (the equivalent of the previous Bronze level) or will be in the Q Club and receive full benefits. Q Club benefits will include first access to new products, gifts, Q-pons for discounted  products, exclusive recipes, and reward points toward free product for every dollar you spend on the Q. The Q Club will have a starting fee of $79.99 and an annual fee of $19.99, which will be waived as long as the Q processes at least 11 shipments of $100 in product per year.

The new Q Club promotion will allow anyone who gets on the Q with at least $100 in product to have the $79.99 fee waived. The annual fee will also be waived as long as at least 11 shipments of $100 in product are made per year. This promotion will apply to all who sign up on the Q from April 1st on. Any Q Club member who is currently at silver membership level or above will be moved to the new Q Club with full benefits.

New 2013 Qclub FAQ_s

Success from Mediocre Parties!

Mediocre Parties getting you down?  Want to have HUGE parties with lots of Qs sign-ups, and tons of people signing-up to become new consultants at your parties like the Platinum’s do?  Well, guess what?  They don’t have those kinds of parties either!   Is that depressing?  It shouldn’t be.  Sherry Bower shared an “Ah-ha” moment with us in one of her presentations.  (And let's just say it was an ah-ha moment for me too!)  After a particularly bad party and after driving over an hour for that horrible party, Sherry wanted to give up.  She started thinking, “Why do I keep doing this?  This is a huge waste of my time and it’s not worth it.”  Then she had the realization that her whole business had been built on mediocre parties.  It was very rare that she had one of those HUGE parties that are more of a fluke than a reality.  You know - those parties where someone comes up and asks, "Can I sign up for a $500 Q?"  It was effort and consistency that had built her business up!  (She was a Platinum at the time!  Yes, Platinums want to give up sometimes too!) 

This thought lifted her spirits and she went to work.  At this bummer party, only 4 people came.  One of them was the host.  Only one person signed up on the Q for $100 and the rest passed.  What did Sherry do after her ah-ha moment?  She went home and picked up the phone.  She talked to every person that came to the party and personally addressed their concerns.  At the end of the 4 phone calls, she had 4 people on the Q and one new consultant.  Even though the party had not been successful, because of her effort, she was able to make it successful!  That’s the difference between successful consultants and non-successful consultants.  One waits for the opportunities to happen, the other makes them happen!

Go out there and don’t get beat down over mediocre parties!  Just be consistent and put daily effort into your business and I promise you’ll see success!
