Breakfast Cookies with the Chop N Prep Chef

2012-02-09T13:40:00.000-08:00

I found a recipe on Pinterest last week for these No Sugar Oat Drops. No sugar, no flour, no eggs, no butter. Whaat? Lots of oats, nuts, dried fruit, with bananas to hold it all together. One of the ingredients was mixed nuts "finely chopped". I pulled out my handy dandy Chop 'N Prep Chefand poured my 1/2 cup of mixed nuts in it.

Often, if I'm baking, it's with my 2 and a half year old assistant - something to do while the baby is napping yet again. Here he is helping chop:

Easy, right? It's great for herbs, making your own pesto, chopping just a small amount of onions, making baby food out of whatever you're having for dinner, etc.! And check out the results after about 10 pulls:

Here's the recipe for you:

1 1/2 cups regular rolled oats
1 cup coconut flakes
1/2 teaspoon salt
1 teaspoon cinnamon
1/2 teaspoon allspice
1/4 cup of almond meal
1/2 cup mixed nuts, finely chopped
1 cup dried fruit (I used 1/2 chopped dried dates, and 1/2 raisins)

3 ripe bananas, mashed
1/4 cup canola oil
1 teaspoon vanilla extract

Preheat oven to 175C. Line baking sheet with parchment paper.

In a large bowl, combine rolled oats, almond meal, mixed nuts and coconut flakes. Stir in allspice and cinnamon. Add dried fruit and stir until well and evenly mixed. Make sure the dried fruit do not stick together in big batches.
In another bowl, combine canola oil, mashed banana and vanilla extract. Pour wet ingredients over dry ingredients and stir until well combined.

Take a large cookie cutter and press spoonfuls of the batter into it. Remove cookie cutter. Bake for about 20 minutes or until edges are golden brown.

ENJOY!

Let me give you $75 or more!

If you wouldn't mind putting some extra cash in your pocket this month, why not try being a consultant for free? I'll give you a stack of catalogs, flyers, and order forms and you get them out to your friends and family. Collect some orders (minimum of $300), I will do the computer work of inputting them and I'll write you a cheque for 25% of your sales. If your orders add up to $300, that's $75 in your pocket.

That's all it takes to be a consultant! Put in sales of $500 over the course of 4 months to stay active...that's like $125 in sales a month! Plus, Tupperware offers consultants samples of all the sale items in each new flyer at a special, low sample price but you get credit for the FULL price! I post sale items on my facebook page once or twice a month and easily pull in $100 or so of orders.

To start out with Tupperware, the Business kit is $139 for $700 worth of Tupperware.

I'll help you out at having your Grand Opening party and then you go from there - doing parties, getting orders, or just selling to friends and family at your discounted prices - it's up to you what you want to make of it!

want a FREE Quick Chef?

2012-02-02T15:04:00.000-08:00

Just host a party between now and Feb.29 and have just $550 in sales - that's an average Tupperware party's sales. Seriously - free Quick Chef. And I'd recommend hosting BEFORE the 10th because both the Microwave Rice Cooker AND Microwave Pasta Maker are ON SALE!!! you know i love these products!

So a $550 party this month gets you at least $83 in FREE credit, two half-price items, all the free gifts I give away at my parties, AND a FREE Quick Chef? What a deal!

(this is a personal promotion...probably not endorsed by other Tupperware consultants)

Cheesy Vegetable Soup starring the Quick Chef

2012-02-02T14:20:00.000-08:00

Have you all met Tupperware's Quick Chef? It used to be red and it used to only have two blades. New and improved Quick Chef Pro System has three blades and can dice whatever you throw in there.

yes, you can chop carrots in the Quick Chef.

(remember this little guy?)

potatoes...

broccoli

Of course, I unfortunately forgot to take a photo of the finished product (in my beautiful Chef Series Dutch oven) because I was too busy serving it to friends and then eating it myself! But here's the recipe for you...(copied from here)

Cheesy Vegetable Chowder

2 Tablespoons butter

1/2 cup chopped onion

1 cup finely chopped carrot

1 stalk celery, finely chopped (feel free to add more celery if you like celery; I don't, so I don't add much)

1 Tablespoon minced garlic

4 cups chicken broth (I usually use a mixture of low-sodium chicken broth and broth made with chicken soup base because it gives it such nice flavor)

2 large baking potatoes, peeled and chopped

1 Tablespoon flour

1/2 cup water

2/3 cup milk

2 cups chopped broccoli

2 heaping cups shredded cheddar cheese

Melt the butter in a large soup pot.  Add onions, carrots, and celery and saute over medium heat until tender.  Add garlic and cook 1 or 2 additional minutes.  Add chicken broth and potatoes, bring to a boil, and cook until potatoes are tender.  Mix flour with water, add, and simmer until soup is slightly thickened.  Add milk and broccoli and cook until broccoli is just tender and soup is heated through.  Stir in cheese, allow to melt, and serve.

Last Year's Gift Guide

If you missed it last year, here's my Tupperware Gift Guide for your whole family - from your thrifty, workaholic older brother to your brand new brother-in-law. Something for everyone!

Microwave Pasta Maker

2011-11-17T13:23:00.000-08:00

When Tupperware released this new product, I wasn't sure about it. Really? Pasta in the microwave? But I love my Microwave Rice Maker so I used it and it is fantastic. It works great and makes an entire one of those little boxes of spaghetti aka. 6 servings. Plus it's a lot smaller than you'd expect it to be which makes for easy clean up.

Why is the Microwave Pasta Maker better than on the stove? On the stove, you have to wait for the water to boil. If you've broken the lid of your pot, like I have, this takes forever. Then I usually forget about having water boiling on the stove and half the water has evaporated by the time I remember and put the pasta in...which means there's not enough water for the amount I'd planned on making. Oops. Then after you cook it, it feels like a waste of space to stick the pot in the dishwasher because it's so big so you have to wash it by hand (something that I hate to do!) Instead of dirtying a strainer also, there are holes in the one side of the Maker so that you can put the lid on and drain the water out. (one less dish needed!) In the Pasta Maker, your spaghetti is done in 11 minutes (even the whole wheat noodles since that's what I make) - it just seems so much faster and easier.

SO, I like to buy ground beef in the 5lb packs and then brown it all at once then freeze it. This makes it easy to pull out later and add to spaghetti, chili, etc. Yesterday during my kids' nap time, I started browning then put the meat into my Medium 1 Freezer Mates (holds about 1.5lbs).

Then for the last pound, I added sauce once it was browned so that I could make Baked Spaghetti for dinner that night.

While it cooked, I made my spaghetti in the microwave. Strained the water into the sink, poured the noodles into the baking dish, and...

Put the Microwave Pasta Maker in the dishwasher! See how little room it takes up? (Of course, it's also very easy and light to wash out in the sink if that's how you roll.)Added my sauce to the noodles and put it in the fridge until it needed to be heated up for dinner!

EASY!

The Microwave Pasta Maker is just $35. Perfect for your bachelor brother, new-mother-sister or anyone who is busy, busy, busy!

Make it a whole Pasta Gift set - see it here.

Next order going in on November 25. Or get it free by hosting a party before Christmas! rebeccashulba@gmail.com

storage solution

2011-11-15T15:12:00.001-08:00

If you are lucky enough to have giant drawers in your kitchen in which you store all your Tupperware, check out this storage solution! Use a tension rod in the drawer to separate your seals from your stacked bowls and other containers! Love it!

sneaking in the veggies...

2011-11-12T19:05:00.000-08:00

love my Quick Chef for sneaking in some extra veggies into my chili! i also chopped some celery, zucchini, and onions this way. sooo much easier than using a knife to get the pieces that tiny!

Tote-em Pails are BACK!

2011-11-12T16:53:00.000-08:00

In the first couple months that I started selling Tupperware, these Tote-em Pails came out in a boxed set with a couple other things which made for a higher price tag. When I saw the pails in person, I saw how great they were and bought the whole boxed set JUST for the pails. I put them in the bathtub for my son (who was 10 months at the time) and they have been his ONLY tub toy for over a year and he still loves them. After seeing how much he uses and enjoys them, I wanted to buy more to give as gifts but I never saw them again...UNTIL NOW! They're back in time Christmas!

This photo doesn't do these pails justice:

why? it shows you that they stack but it doesn't show how many other ways that these pails are fantastic! here's what you can't see in this photo...

> on the bottom of each pail there is a different shape: octagon, hexagon, pentagon, triangle, and square, and circle.

> there are animals on the sides of each pail: elephant, hippo, panda, lion, dog, and seal.

> the turquoise, yellow, and pink pails have holes in the bottom for pouring water out of

> the pails nest inside one another and the bottom pail has a handle for carrying. PLUS the seals for the Microwave Cereal Bowls fit the top of that pail to keep everything inside!

Now that my son is two and a half, he likes to line the buckets up on the edge of the tub and sort his foam letters into colours, putting them inside the corresponding buckets.

Of course, these aren't just tub toys. They're awesome for the water table or even just the toy box. I bought another set so that we can have them at the beach next summer too without dirtying his tub ones. They're worth every penny of the $37 original price tag BUT THEY'RE ON SALE FOR $18.75! Love it.

Email rebeccashulba@gmail.com to order or to host a party. Order going in on Nov. 25th.

Freezer Mate SALE!

2011-09-12T15:03:00.000-07:00

speaking of freezing food (i can't believe that's what i JUST posted about and didn't even know about this sale!) ...all Tupperware's Freezer Mates went on sale this month! how great is that? here are the deals:

everyone's FAVOURITE freezermate size: the large 2. you can RARELY buy these separately (like i've only seen them on sale once in the last 2 years) and now you can get TWO for $38.50! that's less than $20 each and they are PERFECT for baking -they hold a dozen muffins/cupcakes or i always fill mine with the costco bags of berries and peas so they won't get freezer burned. Or as you can see, they fit big batches of soup or i just used mine yesterday to hold 8 pre-made burritos. these are the BEST!

here's what i call the "go big or go home" set if you really want to get that freezer organized - 24 pieces for $95. this many would normally be $214! you're saving a TON of money and they have a lifetime guarantee. where else can you get that? or SPLIT this set with someone and just pay $47.50 for half - that's an AMAZING good deal to get your freezer started looking awesome.

look how much nicer the one side of my freezer is with these! they are lego for the freezer - make them fit perfectly depending on the sizes of things you're putting in there.

read about my idea for hosting a Freezer Meal Tupperware Party here - everyone preorders their Freezer Mates and then I'll send you a list of potential recipes, you choose a handful, we set a date for all your mom friends to come over and we PREP! Everyone will go home with their containers full of meals all ready to go!

if you're not ready to commit to 24 containers, there are a couple other sets for you but they are "purchase with purchase" sets. let me explain...

if you are buying $120 worth of Tupperware, THEN you can get this set for just $23.50: the Family Set of 4. these are my most used sizes. because the medium 1s are so thin, they thaw quicker - in fact, i have a pound of prebrowned hamburger in a medium 1 sitting in my sink thawing right now. getting ready to make burritos for dinner. other ideas?

a medium 1 holds 4 chicken breasts or...

two cups of mashed bananas, for example.

or if you are spending $85, you can get the Starter Set for $15.50. these look ridiculously small in real life but you want to freeze food with the least amount of air possible and small containers is one way to do that.

the small 1s hold 2 chicken breasts and the small 2s hold a pound of ground beef (among many other things as well).

the sale is on until mid-October - want to order some Freezer Mates or book your party? email rebeccashulba@gmail.com

freezer meal tips & party ideas!

2011-08-09T22:04:00.000-07:00

As a mom with a toddler and a baby coming in september, I've been doing some research on freezer meals. It would be great to have a freezer stocked with meals so that I don't have to think about what to have for dinner or say, "get me a pizza!"

I'm working with a cookbook called "The Big Cook" and have been planning out what ingredients I need. Every recipe calls for large freezer bags. The idea is that you make anywhere from 4 - 12 of the same meal and put each into a bag and freeze. The night before, you let it thaw, then it goes into a slow cooker the next day (or there are oven instructions as well). I'm planning on doing 4 of each of the recipes that I've picked out.

I know I've blogged before about my love of my Tupperware Freezer Mates but I use them everyday. What better (and green) way to organize my freezer meals? And then I can use them again and again (because I could really get into this pre-planning thing!).

I just came across a blog post written by a pro-freezer meal maker with tips for making freezer meals. Among all the tips she gives, she describes what you should look for in a container. She lists the following characteristics:

Good containers are key to help protect the flavor, color and nutritional value of frozen foods. The bigger the container, the slower it freezes. You want the food to freeze faster. Don't freeze fruits or vegetables in containers larger than a half gallon.

In general, your containers should have the following characteristics:

Moisture and vapor-proof,

Odorless, tasteless and grease-proof,

Food grade,

Durable and leak proof

Won't become brittle and crack at freezer temperatures

Easy to use, seal and label

Easy for compact stacking and good use of freezer space

Reasonable cost

Then she suggests you use Tupperware Freezer Mates!

Want to try a freezer-meal Tupperware party? Get a handful of friends together who want to do the same thing. I'll put together a list of Freezer Mate options/recipes and you can decide how many you want to make/order. Everyone can pre-order their Freezer Mates and I'll send you a list of ingredients that everyone needs to bring. You get your girls together, I'll bring the Freezer Mates, and the recipes and we can spend a night prepping meals! I can even bring my recipe for Tuppertinis to drink while we prep! It's sure to be the most productive Tupperware party you've ever been to. I'll do draws for prizes and you (the hostess) can either take the free credit you'll earn from all the Freezer Mate purchases OR we can split it up among you and your friends and you can all pick something for free!

Email me at rebeccashulba@gmail to get the whole scoop!

dinner with tupperware

2011-08-01T21:56:00.001-07:00

Some days, I'll be making dinner and I look around and realize I'm surrounded by Tupperware. THIS is why I signed up to be a Tupperware consultant - I use it daily. The other day, I took a couple photos to show you what I mean.

In this photo from left to right: My Heat N Serve container held my ground beef - love it because it goes from freezer to microwave for easy defrosting. My Thatsa Bowl Jr. is what I used to mix my hamburger in. My Hamburger Press is my favourite summer tool. My Freezermate holds breadcrumbs for whenever a recipe calls for them - they're handy. My assistant is using one of my Measuring Cups. (Also, there are two large Freezermates in the background - one is holding cookies and the other is holding hamburger buns!)

Other Tupperware tools used for my dinner making process yet not photoed? My Cutting Board, my FAVOURITE Santuko knife for slicing tomatoes, and my Chef Series Dutch Oven for boiling corn on the cob.

Then we took our meal outside and ate it on our Tupperware plates and my assistant drank from his favourite Bell Tumbler with Sippy Lid. :)

Having the right tools in the kitchen makes dinner so much easier. Indispensable.

I've given away that much before and we can work together to get it for you!

It's key to have your party during a promotion time where you get double your credits for your party. Interested in knowing when a promotion like this is going on? Send me an email and I'll let you know when there's a great promo on and we can find a date that works for you!

do you have kid's plates?

2011-06-19T17:46:00.000-07:00

I often get this question at Tupperware parties by the moms who are buying the sippy cup set and other kids necessities. Unfortunately, my answer is always, "No,". I don't know why but Tupperware hasn't had a set of kids plates out for awhile (at least as long as I've been selling).

Until NOW! The current flyer has an awesome set of plastic, brightly coloured plates on sale! They're called "Luncheon Plates" but they're a great size for kids. I'd seen them in a photo online and just figured they were like the other plastic plates that Tupperware does sell (which i have) so I didn't order them at first. Then I saw them in person and they are AWESOME! They're a great size because they're bigger than those little Ikea plates and of course the plastic is much more durable and better quality. The problem with those little Ikea plates is that they are exactly that - little! Great for toddlers but as soon as your child is 3 or 4, you need something a little more substantial. These are perfect for the growing child (and of course, for an adult lunch too) Most plates have an edge on them that my son ends up leaning on which flips his food off accidentally. These Tupperware plates are flat all the way to the edges which makes them much sturdier. AND I love the colours.

We have used these plates every single day since I got them. Here they are in action at my son's birthday party last weekend.

and here it is holding one of his breakfasts from this past week.

for $18.75, you're getting EIGHT plates. They're a great weight, size, and durability. If you're a mom, these plates are a must. I'm already thinking that I'm going to buy one more set before the sale is over on July 8th! Let me know if you want a set - I'm putting in an order this Friday, June 24th. Email rebeccashulba@gmail.com

fridgesmart sale is back!

2011-06-13T12:05:00.000-07:00

Just in time for all the fresh fruits and vegetables of summer, the buy one set - get one set free Fridgesmart sale is back! I've blogged about my Fridgesmarts so many times (remember the 18 day old organic lettuce? and the strawberries? and my cheese that never gets moldy?) and then i saw this video today. It definitely shows off how much better your fruits and veggies will stay in your Fridgesmart than just in your crisper drawer.

Get 8 Fridgesmarts for $98.50 - find someone to split them with, give half as a wedding gift this summer, or keep them all yourself! Also, buy the Large, long Fridgesmart container for just $19.50 with a purchase of $60 - this is everyone's favourite size and it's normally $36 and worth every penny!

Another set that's just on sale until June 24 is this 8L square Fridgesmart and 2 minis for $35.

frozen bananas

2011-04-15T10:09:00.000-07:00

Whenever I buy bananas, some are sure to turn brown. Then I would peel them, put them in a bag, and freeze them in hopes of one day making banana bread. I've even seen people who throw them, peel on, straight into the freezer which I would imagine is quite a mess when you thaw them. Often, I leave them in there so long that they are so freezer burned, they're almost unrecognizable so I throw them out.

I had a revelation. Why not mash them BEFORE I put them in the freezer? Then store the mashed bananas in a Freezermate pre-measured for the amount I need? This way, they don't get freezer burned and I don't have to squeeze them out of a plastic bag into a bowl when it's time to bake them. I just let the container sit on my counter to thaw, then dump them upside down into my bowl, and throw my Freezermate in the dishwasher. No waste.

The medium 1 Freezermate, which comes in the Family Set, holds the exact amount that you need in this recipe:

Ingredients

2 cups all-purpose flour
1 teaspoon baking soda
1/4 teaspoon salt
1/2 cup butter
3/4 cup brown sugar
2 eggs, beaten
2 1/3 cups mashed overripe bananas

Directions

Preheat oven to 350 degrees F (175 degrees C). Lightly grease a 9x5 inch loaf pan.
In a large bowl, combine flour, baking soda and salt. In a separate bowl, cream together butter and brown sugar. Stir in eggs and mashed bananas until well blended. Stir banana mixture into flour mixture; stir just to moisten. Pour batter into prepared loaf pan.
Bake in preheated oven for 60 to 65 minutes, until a toothpick inserted into center of the loaf comes out clean. Let bread cool in pan for 10 minutes, then turn out onto a wire rack.

ENJOY!

The famous Tumblers and Sippy Lids

2011-04-14T16:14:00.000-07:00

Currently, our most used Tupperware at our house is our Bell Tumblers and Sippy lids. My assistant drinks out of at least 3 a day - milk, juice, and water. They're the greatest. They are a slow flow sippy lid so they teach kids to regulate the amount of liquid coming into their mouth without that sucking motion that other sippy cups need. This way it's getting them ready for drinking out of a regular cup with no lid. And by now, my assistant can drink from a regular cup with no lid but the lids are helpful when he gets a little over excited with both milk and juice at once.

Get them as a free gift when you host a party - just let me know ahead of time that this is the gift that you're interested in!

TWO!

He's a thirsty guy.

Chips? Salad? Punch?

2011-03-31T09:29:00.000-07:00

I was perusing a favourite blog and they featured this children's birthday party. The snacks were elegant but i couldn't help but wonder why the lemonade was in that Rubbermaid container!? It makes the table look much less classy, doesn't it? I know that non-breakables are essential at a kid's birthday party (and life with kids in general) but let's find something that's not such an eye sore on your table!

How about Tupperware's Chip N Dip bowl? Yes, the name says chips but the design says much more! I absolutely love my Chip N Dip bowl for punch at any party. It's large, pretty, and comes with a lid - what more could you want in a punch bowl?

The lid of divided into three sections so you can use it as a serving tray as well. I usually fill it up with cheese and crackers alongside my punch. And, if you choose to use the bowl for chips, it comes with two small bowls that hook onto the side of the bowl for your salsa and guacamole. These little bowls also have lids so that you can put them back in the fridge covered if they weren't finished.

New flyer is coming out April 9th and there's a great special on featuring this bowl - the Fiesta Salsa Set. It comes with the ever desirable Chip N Dip, two cute chili keepers, and a packet of our Southwest Chipotle Spice. The Chip N Dip alone sells for $53.50 but this whole set is on sale for only $48! It's a very cute set - great for giving as a gift (Mother's Day? Wedding?) or for keeping for yourself for all the summer BBQs and potlucks!

There are a ton of other great summery items and Mother's Day gifts in our upcoming flyer - want to get my online newsletter with the new sale flyer each month? Let me know - rebeccashulba@gmail.com

If you've ever thought about wanting to make some extra cash and you love Tupperware - think about trying your hand at selling it! Until Mar. 25, if you sign up to sell, it only costs $5 down for your Executive Business Kit - that's $700 worth of product for you to get started! Have a party or two in your first 30 days, make your 25% comission, and you've made more than enough money to pay the remaining $134 for your kit! Essentially, Tupperware's giving you the kit for a month to make the money to pay for kit - it's SUCH a great time to try it out! And what's the worst case scenario? You have one or two parties, decide parties aren't for you and you have $700 worth of Tupperware for your kitchen and can continue to buy Tupperware at wholesale prices for you, your family, and friends! It's a no lose situation!

As a bonus, if you did three average parties in those first 30 days and sold $1500 - not only would you make your commission AND a personal sales bonus of $50 (which you earn any month when you sell $1500), but you can keep that kit for FREE! Yes - free. This offer is just through my directorship.

Very Innovative Product Award

2011-01-04T10:52:00.001-08:00

Tupperware made it into Good Housekeeping's Hall of Fame for Very Innovative Products (VIPs): here's the article:

Our readers can't imagine how they'd live without it. On our website, they voted in droves for the product that had become a must, and Tupperware, introduced in 1946, was the winner. The "burpable" seal — which inventor Earl Tupper modeled after a paint can's — was so novel (until then, food storage might mean placing a plate atop a bowl), shoppers had to see a demo of how it worked. After the birth of the Tupperware party in 1948, sales took off, and the American pantry and fridge were transformed. Today, the line includes everything from cook's tools to cutlery to, yes, the classic storage containers — and can still be purchased at parties (and online).

Dr. Oz's Gift Guide includes Tupperware!

2010-12-13T11:15:00.001-08:00

I've been loving my SmartSteamer since I got it! You put the water in the bottom tray and the other two trays block the microwaves so that they cannot get through - they're deflected into the water in the bottom which begins to boil. The boiling water sends the steam up through the holes in the bottom of the trays and steams your food without any microwaves touching your food. It's an amazing product.

Check out Dr. Oz's Healthy Gift Guide here - his first giveaway is the Tupperware SmartSteamer!

You can give one away this Christmas too - order before Wednesday, Dec. 15 and get it before Christmas! rebeccashulba@gmail.com

He brought 4 guests up on stage to taste test each of his recipes. I was jealous. :)

He showed how great the new Whip N Prep works to make whipped cream and then chocolate raspberry mousse...when I make my own, I will be sure to post photos and recipe!

This woman on the left has been selling Tupperware for 49 YEARS and she is here with our regional director, Sonja!

Making both Artichoke Pesto and Lemon Dijon Vinegarette in the Chop N Prep.

This event is FREE! Let me know if you're coming tomorrow night - starts right at 7pm so be there early to get your tickets and a good seat! rebeccashulba@gmail.com

a fantastic mid-november sale flyer!

2010-11-11T09:30:00.000-08:00

i'm always really excited when each month's new flyers come out and the mid-november tupperware flyer is the coolest i've seen all year. it's like a mini catalog with many pages to it! here are some of the highlights:

the LARGE CARRY-ALLS are BACK! if you don't have one, you need one. they hold the 10kg. bags of flour (or anything else that large). i have a friend who has one for white flour, whole wheat flour, and sugar. i used mine for my 20 lbs. of blueberries this summer. many people want them for their dog food too. at an awesome price - $36.50! also a great gift for the baker in your family.

the Early Ages sets are on SALE! i love, love, love these baby sets that came out in our fall catalogue. the Eco Feed N Grow Set is on sale for $15.75 and the Eco Complete Baby Set is on for $31.50!

Feed N Grow

Complete Set (yes, that's a portioned formula dispenser! love that!)

Also, TWO fantastic sets of water bottles. i loved this design when it came out as 1 L bottles but i've had many a customer say that it was too large for them. guess what? this month? get those pretty bottles in two new sizes! get a set of FOUR 750mL bottles for only $25.50 (can you say stocking stuffer?) or, if you purchase $120, you can buy a set of SIX 500mL bottles for $22.50! fill them up with those packets of lipton ice tea mix and you've got a cute teacher's gift or like i said, awesome stocking stuffer!

Last, but not least, the Flavour Saver is BACK! These have not been around in a long time so if your mom has ever loaned you hers like my mom has, you'll be excited to get your own! This container is the perfect size to hold up to a 14 lb. turkey but you could use it for a ham or roast chicken too. my inlaws have a rotisserie and whenever they do up a chicken, they make an extra for us and bring it over in their Flavour Saver circa. 1975! See in the photo below how there's a seperate insert with handles so that you can left it out of the container easily? As you can see in that picture, it's also great for speed thawing when you fill it with hot water. The Flavour Saver is on for $only $24.50 if you order $60.

my commuter mug

2010-11-08T09:40:00.000-08:00

a tupperware product that i use all the time and love is my commuter mug.

why i like it better than my starbucks mugs is that the lid screws on to be liquid tight. when i don't have a free hand, i can toss it in my diaper bag until i DO have a free hand. it hasn't leaked on me yet! then you twist a little and there's a nice rounded edge for your mouth to drink from. it keeps your drinks hot for at least an hour and it's a nice size - not crazy big like some of those starbucks mugs. i can never drink that much coffee. these mugs hold 12oz. (like a starbucks tall) a great stocking stuffer!

host a party on one of these dates and get this mug for free along with all the other free product that i give my hostesses: nov. 12, 17 or 18

18 day old organic lettuce

2010-10-24T11:37:00.000-07:00

There is a new Thrifty Foods in Abbotsford and I went on grand opening day - October 6th. Before my party this past Thursday (oct.21), I opened my fridge to see if there were any veggies in my Fridgesmarts that I could take to the party to show. I remembered my lettuce and thought, "Shoot. I hate cleaning out lettuce that's gone bad." I opened up the Fridgesmart and VOILA! The lettuce is in almost perfect condition. Sure, the outside leaf had a little rust on the spine but all the leaves were crisp and totally salad worthy. This morning, I opened up the container to take a photo and it's still in great condition...18 days after I bought it!

According to the USDA, the average family of four discards around 24 pounds of fresh fruit and vegetables every month. That’s 72 pounds of fresh food per person, per year that ends up in the trash. Through proper storage, this set helps you prevent that waste and can pay for itself in a very short period of time. Especially when it's 50% off! Get the set at this price until November 12th.

Chop N Prep Chef

2010-10-24T11:13:00.000-07:00

In the current catalogue that came out in September, there was a new item called the Chop N Prep Chef. It's littler than the Quick Chef and has 3 blades that spin around when you pull the cord. While, in theory, it does the same thing as the Quick Chef, it's ideal for chopping a smaller amounts - things like nuts, garlic, fresh herbs, etc.

At my most recent party, I was doing a salsa demo in the Quick Chef - it's always a great idea to let your Tupperware consultant do a food demo because not only does it show how to use a few Tupperware products, but it also boosts party sales because people see it and know that it will save them time and money in THEIR kitchen! Anyways, to show how well the Chop N Prep Chef works, I threw the garlic and cilantro in there. I'd never used it before. Only with Tupperware can you trust that the item will do exactly what it says without ever testing it (though I don't recommend doing this, consultants! haha!). I pulled the cord THREE times and the garlic and cilantro was chopped SO finely - it was AMAZING! I was very impressed.

I will be taking my Chop N Prep Chef with me to all my salsa demos now! I loved how great it worked for smaller foods.

tupperware and costco shopping

2010-10-14T14:30:00.000-07:00

Today, I did a Costco shop. I don't buy a lot of items at Costco but there are a few things that I just must buy in bulk.

#1: snap peas. I love snap peas because they are a good vegetable that don't need to be washed or cut up. Costco is the cheapest place to buy the 1.3kg bag. It pours exactly into my Fridgesmart Medium Long and lasts FOREVER! (and don't forget that the Fridgesmart set is on sale right now!)

#2: whole wheat pasta. Pasta is a staple in our house and lately, because I haven't had to time to lug my kiddo over to Costco, I've been buying the smaller boxes of whole wheat pasta at our regular grocery store. Whole wheat doesn't come in jumbo sizes at the grocery store so these smaller boxes cost about $3 each. At Costco, the 4lb. bag of rotini whole wheat pasta is $5.99! Yes, it's a lot of rotini pasta BUT it fits perfectly in my Modular Mate Rectangle 3 and will last at least a year (though we'd definitely eat it by then).

#3: blueberries. Frozen blueberries are a necessity in my house because my son LOVES them and eat a handful or two a day. They're also considered a "super-food" so why not eat lots? I buy the 3lb bag and pour it straight into my Large Freezer Mate. It holds that amount perfectly and when it's in a container, it stacks easily and neatly in my freezer.

What do you buy in bulk?

my go-to bowls

2010-10-11T09:55:00.000-07:00

Yesterday, I made a broccoli salad to take to Thanksgiving dinner at my parents' place. I took it in the medium, yellow Impressions bowl. My mom washed my bowl and filled it with turkey for me to take home. I love my go-to bowls. And I still have one set left in my samples!

Tupperware treats us well!

2010-09-27T14:55:00.001-07:00

Something I have LOVED about selling Tupperware over the last 9 months is how well Tupperware treats us. Tupperware is always giving us incentives to get more product. Over this last month, there was a different product on each week that you could get for free if you sold $550 that week. But within Tupperware, there are different groups with Executive Directors at the top of them. Not only does Tupperware treat us well but my Executive Director treats us SO well! Back in May, my Executive Director set a goal within our group for a "Day with a Distributor". She does this every year: if we sold a certain amount that month, we'd get an all-expenses paid, surprise day. I earned it. This past weekend was finally our surprise day. We showed up at our Director's house and she told us that we were going on a one night Princess Cruise from Seattle to Vancouver! EVERYTHING on our trip was included - we paid for nothing! How fun is that?

On the deck of the ship overlooking Seattle

Dinner at Bernini Dining Room - (I had the Duck a l'Orange)

I can't wait to see what she has in store for us NEXT year!

Here's the latest and greatest offer that Tupperware has on for new people signing up to try out being a consultant: sign up asap and if you and I both sell $3500 by Nov. 26, we each get one of these items! AMAZING! This is SUCH a do-able goal. I sold this in one month with 4 parties - you have TWO months to do it! I personally want the cookware but my husband is gunning for the Playstation3. (click on the flyer to make it bigger)

If you like your Tupperware then you can sell it. If you are looking for a way to make some extra money - this business has flexible hours and you can make it what you want - full-time, part-time, or a little extra spending money in your pocket at Christmas this year. It's been great to be able to stay home with my son and not have to work full-time this year because being a Tupperware Consultant is helping me do that. If this sparks your interest and you have any questions at all, feel free to give me a call or shoot me an email with no pressure to sign up - just to find out more. rebeccashulba@gmail.com (email me with your number if you want me to call you)

bonus sale!

2010-09-27T10:28:00.000-07:00

I love all the extra flyers that have been coming out this summer/fall! Check out this one and if there's anything you want, email rebeccashulba@gmail.com. Order going in on Friday, Oct. 8.

Fav items here? The Modular Mate Oval 4s with the pour spout. I use my two for rice and quinoa. The lid that goes over the spout is actually a measuring cup that holds up to a cup so you can pour the rice right into the pot from the container without digging for your measuring cups.

Also, SURPRISE PACKS?! So fun. $48 for $120 worth of Tupperware. But you don't know what it will be! Surprise!

(Click on the image to see it larger. I also emailed this to all my customers so if you want to be on that email list, let me know. rebeccashulba@gmail.com)

get ready...

2010-09-23T15:23:00.000-07:00

Fridgemarts are going on sale October 9th....WOOHOO!!! Often my customer's favourite item when I ask at a party. I've heard so many stories about mushrooms lasting for weeks instead of days and broccoli lasting for over a month. Own Fridgesmarts = save money on produce and save time because you don't have to go grocery shopping as often!

Read about how much I love them here and how much a friend of mine loves them here.

Come back next week to find out more about what the Fridgesmart deal is (among other great deals for Christmas shopping!)

Cook much?

2010-09-17T10:26:00.001-07:00

The sale flyer that's on until October 8th is all about cooking and baking and if you do either of those, here's a few things you shouldn't go without:

The Saucy Silicone Spatula (usually sells for $25 - on sale for $17) Stain and heat resistant up to 400 degrees - no more melting spatulas when you use them to make scrambled eggs!

The Silicone Wonder Mat (usually sells for $47 - on sale for $32.50) Like parchment paper but much more environmentally friendly - use this mat on your baking sheets and pans for more even baking.

Measuring Cups and Spoons - (usually $34.50 - on sale for $19) This one can't be found on the website for sale because it's only on for attending a party! But let me know if you want it and you can attend my "virtual party" to order them. (aka - i'm putting in a party on the 24th) These cups are great because they have a built in pouring spout on either side of the cup.

Thatsa Bowl 4 Piece Set - Buy One, Get One Free! (worth $185.50 - you buy EIGHT bowls for $92.50) Normally, you can't even buy the two smaller bowls which are both great sizes. Then the biggest two bowls are HUGE! Mixing batters and dough in plastic bowls makes it so much lighter to move around and pour out. I've gone to all plastic for baking and love it.

Think ahead to Christmas gift shopping - who could use a fantastic set of bowls? Then keep a set for yourself!

Order going in on the 24th - email rebeccashulba@gmail.com

getting the husbands on board!

2010-09-15T15:45:00.000-07:00

I have SO many women who sit down to place their order at a party and they say something to the effect of "My husband is not going to be happy with how much money I'm spending!" I used to be that woman too but here is what I've discovered: if the husbands were at the party and heard how much money Tupperware is going to save them in food that isn't going to get thrown out for going stale, moldy, or freezer burnt, they'd be encouraging us to buy it!

When I started selling Tupperware, my husband was skeptical. Now that we use so much Tupperware, he often sings it's praises to other people. I'm not joking.

This past weekend, I had a Tupperware with a mom of a new baby. Her husband stuck around at the party to help with the baby if needed. He hung back but listened to us talk about how Tupperware works and he was keen on the ice cream demo in the Quick Chef. When it came time for my hostess to pick her free Tupperware (which was $145 AND two half-price items!), she and her husband sat down at the table together! Her husband encouraged her to get the Modular Mate Super Set as one of their half-price items since he heard how they can save your dried goods for at least a year! He really wanted to get the Lemon-Lime Press because he held it and could tell how heavy-duty it was. This husband was ON BOARD! Yours can be too!

If you're headed to a Tupperware party anytime soon, see if you can get your hubby to come along and see the goods - I have had a few guys come to parties and they're always the biggest buyers! But you will sell your guy for sure if some of your Tupperware is FREE - host a party and have all your girlfriends bring their husbands. We can make the demos short and sweet and then you guys can go on with your night! Sounds good? email rebeccashulba@gmail.com

remember this set?

2010-09-14T16:07:00.000-07:00

This is the Kids Tupperware Serving Set that I had as a kid - those good old 70s colours!

I still have 2 (current) serving sets available for sale that I bought extra when they were for sale.

Let me know if you're interested. rebeccashulba@gmail.com

end of summer sale!

2010-08-30T15:04:00.001-07:00

another bonus sale flyer? love it!

That knife set is SO sharp! I bought it earlier this year in a big set and I love my Tupperware knives! A must have at only $26.00!

And the condiment dispensers work SO well. I keep mayo in one year round (though these are GREAT for camping) because it's like making my sandwiches at Subway! Haha.

Order going in on Thursday this week! email: rebeccashulba@gmail.com

kids serving set

2010-08-26T08:23:00.000-07:00

made my assistant a little cooler on a sunny, summer day. and helped him practice his fine motor skills...

not just for hotdogs

2010-08-25T13:13:00.000-07:00

We use out Hotdog Keeper for mostly for cold cuts and packages of bacon. The little bumps on the bottom are great for keeping these meats up and out of their condensation and cold cuts last SO much longer in a container than in those flimsy little bags they come in from the grocery store.

I've also heard (and I concur) that the Hotdog Keeper would make a pretty awesome jello mold. All those little pyramids will make little holes that you can put berries or whipped cream in...

However, when I asked my husband to put the leftover pizza away last night, he pulled out our retro, yellow, Hot dog Keeper and it fit just perfectly.

See? If you're dying to buy the Hamburger Press before it's gone on Aug. 27 but feel that the Hot Dog Keeper that it comes with is useless because you don't eat hot dogs - you are mistaken! AND would you believe that the Hot Dog Keeper is on sale with our Season-Serve container for only $26.50 until Thursday? Nice deal. email before Thursday afternoon: rebeccashulba@gmail.com

september is record breaker month!

2010-08-24T08:48:00.001-07:00

As a consultant, September is one of the most important months of the year: record breaker month. Tupperware sets a goal for you - to beat your all-time highest month of sales. It's a tough goal. But do-able. From August 28th - September 24th, I am hoping to be rocking the party circuit. The great thing for you is that to help us consultants out, Tupperware puts out all kinds of deals for hostesses that make hosting a party even more awesome than all the stuff you usually get. If you've ever thought about hosting a party but you just haven't gotten around to it - I'd love it if you booked before September 24th! All hosts get an extra $20 off their order from me plus all the extras from Tupperware this month! Woohoo! Email rebeccashulba@gmail.com

hamburger press demo

2010-08-23T09:32:00.000-07:00

I always wondered why you'd ever go to the trouble of making your own burgers when you can just buy them pre-made. I earned my Tupperware burger press for free for my sales one week (a great perk of selling Tupperware - all the free Tupperware you earn!) and it sat in my cupboard for awhile. Then at one of our Tupperware rallys (where we meet up with other consultants to learn some more about Tupperware and see new product or demos), there was discussion and demo on the hamburger press and I was so intrigued. If you make your own burgers, you know what's going into them! you can buy your organic ground beef or turkey if you want and make your burgers with that. Or what about salmon? It's in season right now! Make salmon burgers. I had no idea I even would like salmon burgers until this summer! There are also SO many great veggie burger recipes out there - so CHEAP to make but so expensive to buy pre-made! So while it's very easy to buy a pack of frozen burgers, it's almost just as easy to make them with the Tupperware Hamburger Press. My husband cannot believe how much better they are - he says he's never going back to frozen patties! Here's a demo that I made before dinner this weekend. (scroll down to below the video to get a super simple burger recipe)

AllRecipe's Perfect Basic Burger recipe

1 egg

1/2 tsp salt

1/2 tsp. pepper

1 lb. ground beef

1/2 cup breadcrumbs

Mix together. Follow my demo video. BBQ. Eat with buns, bbq sauce, cheese, fixings. Yum!

The Hamburger Press and Hotdog Keeper set is only around until the 27th! In BC, we can BBQ all year round so get your press now so you can bbq healthier for the rest of the year and years to come. A one time purchase with a lifetime guarantee? A steal of a DEAL!

Want to make more than 5 patties and store them in the freezer? Also only available until the 27th: the Hamburger Keep set

An order is going in on Thursday, August 26th if you want to get in on it - email me at rebeccashulba@gmail.com

chipotle yam fries

2010-07-12T12:01:00.000-07:00

sweet potato/yam fries are so yummy when i go out to a restaurant but whenever i try to make them at home, i never know what seasoning to put on them. this weekend, i attempted yet again to make my yam fries and i had the bright idea to try my Tupperware Southwest Chipotle Seasoning on them. they were SO good - just the right blend of spicy and sweet. so good in fact, i'm making myself a little batch right now for lunch. now i know how to season them...how the heck to i make them easier to cut up?

THE bowls

2010-07-01T22:50:00.001-07:00

these are one of my favourite tupperwares that i have: my Impressions Bowl Set. i got them at the first party that i ever hosted because they were on sale, two for one. a friend and i split the set and i got my Impressions bowls. these are my go to bowls and i know i've blogged about thembefore and you saw them in my recent Spot the Tupperware post. but in the new, mid-july flyer that starts july 10th - they are ON SALE again! normally they're $42.25 for three but for this sale, tupperware has added the huge 4th bowl that nests them all! and the best kind of sale? two for the price of 1! so for $73.25, you're getting EIGHT awesome bowls! who can you split this with? OR it IS wedding season! who can you gift one set to? ooh...that is a good idea...

or cut up a whole watermelon to store in them...

or use them as toys when you babysit...

or to store babies...

party of 5

2010-06-30T12:43:00.000-07:00

i was at a party this past weekend where the hostess had originally said, "i'm not sure how many people i'll get out to my party or if anyone will want to buy anything but it will just be fun to have a get together with some friends. i'm not in it for the free stuff."

as the date for her party got closer, she asked around at work if anyone wanted to put in an order and she got 4 outside orders - a great start to her party. when 4 other people that were supposed to come to the party cancelled, she wasn't too upset because she had these back up, outside orders.

her party had 4 attendees plus herself - 5. we played a game, talked about Tupperware, ate some homemade ice cream in the Quick Chef and that was that.

would you believe that this party got the hostess $243 in FREE Tupperware PLUS THREE half-price items? she was SO floored that her friends had seen so many things they wanted AND she'd done the extra leg-work to get a few more orders to add to the lot which made a big difference. amazing! little parties can rock - don't be afraid to host a party because it won't be 8 or 10 people! if you have a handful of people who are interested in organizing their cupboards, saving money on produce, planning meals to freeze, have school-aged kids who take their lunch - these people will find the products they need at your Tupperware party.

for summer, not only are you getting your $25 off your order if you host a party but if you host a party on July 13 or 14 (the start of the new and fantastic sale flyer), i'll add $100 dollars to your order to boost your sales up and get you some more free stuff - that's an extra $10 - $20 of free credit! NICE!

spot the tupperware

2010-06-29T10:26:00.001-07:00

how many pieces of tupperware can you see on my counter from when i was preparing meals for a friend who just had a baby?

if you found 4, you're good. if you found 5, you know your tupperware! if you found 6? you have xray eyes! my Twistable Peeler is hiding behind the large Fridgesmart. also here: myImpressions bowls are making two different things, my wonderful Grate N Measure, and my water bottle is actually sticking into the picture there as it dries on the bottle rack. haha.

getting vegetables in...the sneaky way

2010-06-28T13:19:00.000-07:00

i'd gotten this giant container of baby spinach and all my fridgesmarts were already full so it was quickly going limp in my fridge. i'd been throwing a handful of it in smoothies for my one year old to get a little extra vegetables in and was sad that i couldn't keep it around longer. until i got a fantastic idea. (well, maybe this is an idea everyone has and uses but i thought i was being brilliant) i pureed all the spinach down (with just a little water) and poured it into my covered ice cube trays.

brilliant! now, when i have been making my assistant's smoothies, i just throw in a spinach cube. i also melted one down the other day and added it to tomato sauce for his pasta. he didn't seem to notice despite the weird colour of the sauce! and it's quite a lot of spinach that goes into one cube when it's pureed! love that we're getting in some extra greens!

if you're looking for other ways of sneaking some vegetables into your kids' (or husband's) food, a great and easy way to get tiny chunks is my fav - the Quick Chef. good luck!

summer attendance special!

2010-06-27T09:33:00.000-07:00

purchase with purchase

2010-06-18T07:41:00.000-07:00

in the mid june to mid july flyer, there are three purchase with purchase items.

if you're spending $35, you can get the Microfiber Kitchen Towel Set (usually $23.75) for $15! these are the only dishtowels i use and i love them!

next, if you spend $60, you can get the Freezer Mates Fresh and Pure Ice Cube Trays (usually $30.50) for only $18! if you are a Tupperware you are blog follower, you'll know that i was using these ice cube trays for my baby food back when my assistant was eating smaller quantities. i love that they have lids so whatever you want to freeze in cubes (ice, baby food, pesto, etc) doesn't get all the yuckiness from the freezer on them.

lastly, an exclusive product - the Beverage Buddy - is out again. if you buy $85, you can get this cute drink container for $12.50. even though it looks small and can fit in the door of your fridge, it does hold 2L. great for fitting in the your cooler for camping!

going retro

2010-06-10T14:14:00.000-07:00

would you believe that in this next sale flyer (mid june flyer that begins june 12th), there are a couple items that are from this vintage ad! i LOVE how tupperware takes items away then brings them back as specials. makes them new again in great new colours!

anyways - the Beverage Buddy (the little pitcher at the back of the ad) and the Fix N Mix bowl are back in a HUGE outdoor set in this flyer. those two items, along with classics like the Season Serve and Quick Shake (in green) plus two condiment dispensers, rectangular Cold Cut Container, 4 colour-coded cutting boards and paring knives in sheaths make this fantatic set! All together would normally cost $189.50 - on sale together for $101! (pictures to come when the flyer comes out)

salad dressing in my Quick Shake

2010-06-09T15:14:00.000-07:00

the other night for dinner, i made poppyseed salad dressing for my strawberry, toasted almond and spinach salad. so much better than Kraft...

throw all these ingredients into your Quick Shake:

2 Tbsp sesame seeds

1 Tbsp poppy seeds

1/2 cup white sugar

2 tsp. minced onion (or dried onion)

1/4 tsp. paprika

1/4 cup white wine vinegar (but i used red and it still tasted good)

1/4 cup cider vinegar

1/2 cup vegetable oil

shake. now you have a ton of dressing. spinach and strawberry salads for a week! (or half all the ingredients to make less)

my rice maker

2010-06-06T09:32:00.000-07:00

so even though i'd seen what a great product the Tupperware Microwave Rice Maker was and had heard from customers how much they liked it, it took a little while for me to get around to purchasing it myself. but now i have my own and have used it three times this week already! as soon as i got it, i immediately lost the booklet that comes with it with the directions. this is not recommended. hang on to those booklets, people! i googled "Tupperware Rice Maker Instructions" however, and found a handy video. it was not specific to brown rice, however, so i did my best. it turns out, after you cook your brown rice about 13 minutes, you want to let it sit a long time. this way the rice soaks up the all the water and is soft. if you find that after letting it sit for awhile that the rice isn't how you want it, add a little water and throw it back in the microwave. every microwave is different it seems - play around a few times with yours to figure out how long it will take your rice. yesterday, i made this recipe that i posted awhile back with quinoa. when you make quinoa, you don't want it to sit a soak up the water, you want to drain it right away. it was a yummy salad to add to our bbq chicken and spinach with strawberries salad! for $36.75 for the Rice Maker, you can't go wrong - it doesn't burn, it's easy clean up, and it makes great rice quickly!

the most wonderful grater...

2010-06-03T15:36:00.001-07:00

if you grew up (or are still currently) using a cheese grater that looks like this:

then do i have a tupperware product for YOU! i just bought myself tupperware's Grate 'N Measure and it is SO much nicer to use than that old style one. i never used it for anything but cheese so i just need the one side. instead of pressing your hand against all the sharp little grater bits while you grate your cheese, you can hold this handle. then, it grates right into a container that has measurments on the side of it! how handy is that when you're making a lasagna and need a cup of cheese? i'm loving my new grater! only $24.75!

speaking of freezing...

2010-05-30T10:11:00.000-07:00

since i was on the topic of my freezer, here's a tip. if you are freezing something in your Freezer Mates and it doesn't fill the container to the top, either pick a new container OR scrunch up some waxed paper to fill the remainder of the space. this will keep your frozen food from getting freezer burnt. when i pour a bag of perogies into the largest Freezer Mate, as i use up the perogies, i put in some waxed paper (or it could be a plastic grocery bag or something - anything to fill the space) until there's few enough perogies in the container to pour into a smaller Freezer Mate. it really helps keep my frozen foods longer. do it.

tupperware for life...

2010-05-28T09:14:00.000-07:00

i was talking to a guest at a tupperware party yesterday and she was saying how she'd bought these Vent n Serve containers a few years ago and the consultant had talked about how they're indestructable. she bought some and they eventually got a crack in them. she told me how disappointed she was. i asked her, "did you get them replaced by a consultant?" she hadn't. she told me, "i didn't have my receipt anymore so i threw them out."

people! you don't need a receipt! if something your mom bought 30 years ago or something your grandma bought 50 years ago cracks, chips, breaks, or peels - we replace it or give you an equivalent! all you need to give your consultant (aka. me i hope) is the broken piece. awesome! the only exception to this rule is if there is metal on your piece of tupperware (like a cheese grater or an ice cream scoop), it's a limited warranty of a year. of course, they last much longer than that but it's not for life. but if it's all tupperware plastic, you'll have it until you're an old lady. :)

a great gift idea

2010-05-27T09:07:00.000-07:00

at my party last night, i let my customers know that the Super Cereal Storers were on 2 for 1. one of the women there was all excited because super cereal storers are her go-to wedding gift. she gives the new couple 2 super cereal storers and two boxes of cereal. she said that it's a gift that ALWAYS has a great response and it's something the husbands especially appreciate. what a great idea! normally a $50 gift is on for only $25 (plus the cost of cereal)! have you gotten your 2 storers yet? rebeccashulba@gmail.com

the QUICK CHEF IS ON SALE!!!

2010-05-25T07:37:00.000-07:00

i've been telling people that this never happens and here it is on sale! remember the Quick Chef? i use it for most of demos at my tupperware parties to make salsa and lately i've been making ice cream in it. it's the best for chopping ANYTHING! it's the cheapest food processor with way less mess and more convenient. i've also been making a lot of whipped cream in it lately. pour in the whipping cream and turn the handle for about a minute and you've got thick, yummy whipped cream. the Quick Chef does have a little higher price tag - it's $67.50. i always recommend to people that they have a party and use their free credit to get it or think about trying out selling tupperware and get their Quick Chef in their kit.

well from may 29th to june 11, if you host an average-sized party and have two people book their own parties, you can get the Quick Chef for $12.50!! i'm floored, personally. if you've loved this product at past parties you've attended or hosted but never gotten it, NOW is the time! rebeccashulba@gmail.com

freezer organization

2010-05-21T09:30:00.000-07:00

my freezer - a before and after picture all in one. i used to think, why would i pour my bags of peas or frozen strawberries into a container? and then one day my freezer was so packed full of bags that when i opened the door, a bag of peas fell out and spilled all over my floor. now they're in a freezermate.

what's amazing to me how small some of the containers are in the freezermate collection yet they hold way more than you'd expect. if you know your modular mates, you know that tupperware gives each height a number ranging from shortest (1) to tallest (5). freezermates are also modular which is why they are the best for organizing your freezer.

in the starter set, there are two small 1s and two small 2s. they're tiny. but if you're living on your own or as a couple, they're a good size. the small 2s can hold a little over a pound of ground beef! the small 1s are the perfect size for two pieces of chicken. buy a package of 6 breasts and divide them into meal-sized portions in your freezer mates!

in the family set, there are two medium 1s and two medium 2s. in the above picture, there are 4 medium 2s in there but you can just see the fronts. these are a great size for most small bags of frozen fruit or veggies. I love these 1s (like i talked about above) for chicken or pork chops (or whatever kind of meat). I bought a costco sized pack of fresh chicken breasts the other day and divided them into 4s in my medium 1s. then i poured salad dressing on them. when they are thawing for dinner one day in the near future, they'll sit in their dressing and taste great!

obviously, the best value is the complete set. SO many freezermates AND this is the only way to get the large 2. (i often use this container to store baking on the counter and not in the freezer) i just need to splurge and finish off my freezer. i'm so sick of the mess in there. how's your freezer looking?

if you feel the same way but are thinking, "i can't afford that complete set", having a party is the way to go. why not get the set for free? hosting a party can be having some people over for coffee one morning (and getting your mom in winnipeg to join your party through TupperConnect) and you'll benefit from free host credit based on the amount purchased.

the serving center is ON SALE!

2010-05-17T15:11:00.001-07:00

the serving center definitely comes up at every tupperware party i've had as a favourite piece of tupperware. it's so portable when you are asked to bring the veggie platter or fruit plate to a party. if you're just using it at your own house, why not use the lid as a platter as well - it could hold your chips or bread for a spinach dip. at a recent ice cream party, the serving center held all the sundae toppings! nice.

when the new spring/summer catalog came out, the serving center can only be purchased as a set. (which is a really great set, by the way - awesome for picnics and camping) so for all those customers who were upset by this, the lone serving center is HERE for one month only! if you buy $60 of Tupperware, you can get the serving center for only $24!! a steal since full price it's $42.50! book your party now until june 11th for this deal among others. AND get a mini serving center (such a great size) as one of your free gifts! you'll be all ready for summer potlucks, bbqs, and family reunions.

TupperConnect

2010-05-05T16:43:00.001-07:00

here's the latest and coolest feature of a Tupperware party that i have just discovered: TupperConnect. how many of you have friends and family that live across Canada and therefore cannot make it to your Tupperware party? yes. all of us. well, Tupperware gets it and they want you to be able to invite those people to your party ONLINE. when you book a date for your party, i set up your date online and then send you an email. you customize that email and forward that invitation to anyone you want. all those people can log into Tupperware and order whatever they like. the order will get added to your party and the tupperware will get mailed to THEM! how cool is that? what a great way to offer tupperware to friends and family who don't have a consultant AND get you some more host credit...aka. free stuff!

if you want to book a Tupperware birthday party in May, i have an early bird special on for anyone choosing a date before May 14th! an extra $25 worth of free tupperware ON TOP of all the great specials we have on for May! use TupperConnect and bump up your party sales! email me for available dates! rebeccashulba@gmail.com

in time for summer!

2010-05-02T07:00:00.000-07:00

what summer doesn't need a pitcher of lemonade? in the mid-april to mid-may flyer, there are THREE of them for sale! these are the classic button top lids that let you shake the pitcher without spilling and also strains the ice cubes. the largest of the pitchers on sale this month is our 1 gallon (like a milk jug) pitcher. it comes with a set of 12 different sized cups (that all come with their own seal) perfect of drinking out of on the deck. or what if all your kids want different beverages on your picnic? pour each drink into their own cup, seal, and throw in your picnic basket - no fear of spills! check out the link to see more details on this set.

also in the flyer this month is a set of 2 pitchers. one is 1 litre and the other is 2 litres. because this button top seal keeps your beverage from leaking, they're perfect for bringing along on a roadtrip in the backseat. a recent customer suggested this at one of my parties - you can fill these up with ice and juice and keep it nearby. whenever you're thirsty, stop for a fill-up and your drink will still be cold. what a great idea instead of buying those $2 - $3 drinks at the gas station! these pitchers are on sale for $21.50 if you spend $60.

when life gives you lemons...

2010-04-30T07:11:00.000-07:00

the new lemon lime press. it came out with the new catalog in march and it is fantastic. it's plastic, but you'd think it wasn't when you use it. it's such a heavy duty plastic and works so well. if you are a squeezer of lemons and limes - this is a must-have for you. $24.50.

diaper bag containers

2010-04-25T22:30:00.000-07:00

i posted about all my tupperware diaper bag containers before but today i as i was cleaning out the bag, i had to laugh at how many snack cups i was using in there. i had 4 in there! as my assistant is getting bigger, i need more containers for his food, especially when we're gone from home for a whole day. today there was rice cereal, cottage cheese, yogurt, and rice & black beans. these snack cups are the most versatile pieces of tupperware! a must have - even if you don't have an assistant.

earth day!

2010-04-22T13:42:00.000-07:00

Some Tupperware Tips on being Green with Tupperware:

1. Instead of a paper coffee cup, use our Commuter Mug. (i love mine - i'm a big fan of turquoise!)

2. Instead of buying bottled water, use one of our drinking solutions such as the Eco Tumblers, Insulated Tumbler, or Large Sports Bottle.

3. Instead of using plastic wrap at home, use any of our Tupperware® refrigerator products or the Sandwich Keeper.

4. Instead of paper towels, use one of the Microfiber Towels. (they're so much better and mopping up spills than paper! i speak from personal experience)

5. Instead of using disposable bags, store produce directly in FridgeSmart® Containers. Not only will you protect the environment, but you will be sure to keep your produce fresher longer.

6. Instead of using plastic bags for bulk purchases at the Deli, bring the Fridge Stackables™ Set. The store will weigh it for you to get the weight of the empty container.

Here are a few homemade green cleaner recipes as well:

1. Dishwasher Rinse: add 1 1/2 Tbsp of white vinegar to the rinse compartment of your dishwasher.

2. Glass Cleaner: 8oz of water, 8oz. of rubbing alcohol, and 8 oz. of white vinegar. The best cloths to clean your glass and mirrors with? Our Tupperware Mirror and Glass cloths.

3. Microwave cleaner: Mix 2 Tbsp of baking soda OR lemon juice to 1 cup of water. Microwave it for 5 minutes (or until liquid boils and leaves moisture on the inside of your microwave). Wipe clean.

Happy Earth Day!

i got home from Ontario after being away for a week and the next day, had my dad and brother over for dinner. i hadn't thought to check my vegetables BEFORE i went to the store but had planned on making a salad. i opened my large fridgesmart and the head of romaine that i had put there at least a week and half ago was crisp and fresh - no rust. also in the fridgesmarts, red peppers. i had bought a bag of 4 but only had room in a fridgesmart for 2. the two in the container were as good as the day i bought them. the other two who were left for dead in the crisper are pretty soft and looking sad. man, i love these things. and a fantastic salad we had.
