Yummy Eggs!

WOW! What a wonderful group of women I met at the 'What Women Want Expo' in St. George! You are an amazing, fun bunch! I really loved meeting every one. It was brought to my attention that I have ommitted a way to order from this blog. I am researching right now to find the best way to do that because I want to be sure you get the discount pricing! For now, the best thing to do is email me at ThriveWithAmy@gmail.com and let me know you want to order and I will contact you to work everything out. Simple! As soon as I figure out a better way I will get it posted.
I am excited to do all the parties and meet your friends and families! This really is a wonderful product which you can attest to if you tasted it at the expo! New foods are coming out soon and I will post what they are as soon as I hear. I can't wait!
As for cooking:
I made my husband eggs this morning. I used powdered eggs, mixed peppers, and the freeze dried shredded cheese.
I reconstituted the eggs and added a small amount of garlic salt, onion salt, Lowry"s season salt and pepper right into the egg mixture.
I then added my reconstituted peppers and threw it all into the pan. Just as they finished cooking I topped them with the freeze dry shredded cheese. Very Easy!
Taste? Yes, it was a little different differrent than fresh eggs, but honestly it tasted pretty good. We love salsa on our eggs and so we topped it with Pace and had toast. It was yummy!

Newbies

Ok...I am a food storage owner. Yes, I know. There are many of us out there. We have it yet we wonder, could we really survive on it? That old line from Crockadile Dundee comes to mind, "you can live on it but tastes like @%*$ !"


Well, that's how my food storage is. I can live on it but...do I want to? So in search of an answer I found a company that I really like and thay have such a good reputation - Shelf Reliance. They have started a new branch which features food storage items and emergency supplies. YEAH!!! It's about time. They offer a party plan which means I can be a consultant...so I signed up. Even before it really started. It is called 'THRIVE'.

So far so good! I have tasted some of the food - the fruit, the corn, bits and pieces. I LOVE it! Really. I am very excited about it. Now I can add some yummy stuff to my food storage that I WANT to eat! I will actually be excited to to live off my storage!

But Shelf Reliance takes it a step further. They don't want you live off it just in emergencies (which our house had lately, how about yours?), but they want you to cook with it every day - to ROTATE it. To actually use it before it expires instead os throwing it away or assuming it will be good when we need it. OK, I have learned from experience (oh yeah, last week) that white flour does not store for 20 years! Hahaha!

Anyway, I am taking their challenge. I am actually going to use this stuff in my everyday cooking. I will be blogging about the results here and sharing recipes and such. I will tell you if we liked them or not and what worked and didn't work (those of you that know me know my cooking skills may make it a little challenging for me to figure out why it didn't work! :).

So there you go. I am an average (ok, maybe that's a stretch!) cook so I will be honest. I do not have a degree in cooking so I will be figuring it out on my own with some help from Shelf Reliance. I really hate it when a book or company claim they can do something and then you find out the reason it worked so well for them is because they all have gargantuan degrees with P's and D's in them and the average person just can't make it work! So here goes....

Join me! I would love your feedback and ideas as well. I will also show you how to use some of the really cool stuff on their site! So here goes! I am expecting my first order any day now...
