Recipes for Meals-in-a-Jar Packs--Black Friday Sale!


Black Friday means awesome savings!!  And it's a great time to order supplies for jar meals, whether you're making them for yourself so you can have quick meals during this busy holiday time OR making them to give as gifts this holiday season!

PC=pantry can
#10=#10 size can/family size
FD=freeze dried

You can easily use half of a recipe for a pint jar, which is perfect for those only needing to cook for 1 or 2.  Each quart jar meal serves about 4 people, depending on serving size.  You can layer the ingredients in canning jars (they look really great that way and are the best way to gift them).  Or you can put them in ziploc bags!

CLICK HERE to purchase these items during the Black Friday sale (Nov 22-28) OR you can contact me with what you want to order and I will place the order for you.

All of the recipes below are very popular with my customers and are favorites among my fellow Thrive consultants!  There are a few non-Thrive ingredients in each recipe, but you likely have those in your pantry already!


TACO SOUP by Melissa Coombs

Put in quart jar in this order:
3 Tbsp. taco seasoning
½ tsp. salt
¼ tsp. black pepper
3 Tbsp. THRIVE Tomato Powder
¼ cup THRIVE FD Chopped Onions
¾ cup THRIVE FD Ground Beef
¾ cup THRIVE Instant Pinto Beans
¾ cup THRIVE Instant Black Beans
¾ cup THRIVE FD Sweet Corn
2 Tbsp. THRIVE FD Green Chilies

To prepare:
Dump all into a pot with 8 cups of water (more or less can be used depending on your preference). Bring to a boil, reduce heat and simmer for 10-15 minutes or until beans are cooked through. Serve with sour cream, shredded cheese, tortilla chips, etc.

BEEF STROGANOFF by Shelli Rasmussen

Put in a quart jar in this order:
 1 cup FD Beef Dices or Ground Beef
2 cups Egg Noodles (you can also buy curly egg noodles at your grocery store)
1/3 cup Espagnole (Savory Beef Gravy)
1/4 cup FD Chopped Onions
1/4 cup Sour Cream Powder
1 tsp Chef's Choice Seasoning Blend
1 tsp Garlic Powder
1 1/4 TBSP Salad Seasoning Blend

To prepare:
Bring 5 cups of water to a boil. Pour contents of jar in the water. Let return to full boil. Reduce to medium heat and simmer for 12-15 minutes or until noodles are done. You may need to add in a little more water as it is cooking- it will depend on what kind of noodles you used and how many you crammed in to your 2 cups! : ) Cover and let sit for 8-10 minutes before serving.

CHICKEN FAJITAS

Put in a quart jar in this order:
 1 1/4 cups FD Seasoned Chicken Slices
3/4 cup FD Onion Slices
1/3 cup FD Green Chili Peppers
1/2 cup FD Green Bell Peppers
1/2 cup FD Red Green Peppers
1/2 tsp Chicken Bouillon
1 tsp FD Cilantro
1/2 tsp Chef's Choice Seasoning
1 tsp Chili Powder
1/2 tsp Cumin
1/4 tsp Garlic Powder
1/2 tsp Salt (or less if you prefer)
A Pinch of Thrive Limeade Powder (or squeeze some fresh lime over chicken fajitas before serving.) 

To prepare:
In a bowl, add contents of jar to 2 cups of hot water and let sit for 10 minutes, stirring occasionally. You want to make sure the chicken peices have absorbed the water. There may be a little water in the bottom of the bowl after the 10 minutes and that's ok. Add 1 TBSP of olive oil to a skillet and get it hot. Pour in chicken mixture and stir to lightly brown the chicken and heat completely. Serve on flour tortillas (or in romaine lettuce leaves) with your favorite toppings, like cheese, sour cream, salsa, guacamole, etc.

FRANCESCA'S UNSTUFFED PEPPER SOUP by Francesca Hutchinson

Put in quart jar in this order:
(photo used with permission)

¼ tsp Pepper
½ cup Tomato Powder
1 tsp Freeze Dried Garlic (can use ½ tsp garlic powder instead)

1 ½ TBSP Beef Bouillon
¼ cup Freeze Dried Onions
1 cup Instant White Rice or Instant Brown Rice
1 cup Freeze Dried Ground Beef
½ cup Freeze Dried Red Peppers
½ cup Freeze Dried Green Peppers

To prepare:
 Dump all ingredients from this jar into a pot. Add 8 cups water (you might like more or less water). Bring to a boil, turn down to medium heat and let simmer for 10-12 minutes. Add more salt or seasonings if you like. Serve topped with your favorite cheese.

This is also amazing as a casserole. Francesca's original recipe said to dump contents of jar into a bowl and add 3 cups of water. Let sit for 20 minutes to rehydrate. Pour into a casserole dish and top with cheese. Bake at 350 degrees for 20-25 minutes.

Ideas for Black Friday--GIFTS!!!!

Every year you do it.  Try to figure out what on earth to get for:
  • your kids' teachers
  • your neighbors
  • your friends
  • your coworkers
  • surprise visitors bearing gifts

We have SO many things.  Why get someone yet another trinket?  Why give yet another plate of goodies that will just go bad in a week or so?

Why not give something that they can actually use....and use up?!?!

I have a few good ideas for gifts that you can give.  Our pantry can sizes are the PERFECT size for gift giving.  And when you order these items by the case, you'll save even more money during the Black Friday sale!  The sale goes live for the public on Wednesday November 23, but you can preorder through me on Tuesday (contact me at gimmethrive (at) gmail (dot) com).


My family LOVES to make all sorts of cookies out of our Classic Cookie Dough Mix.  Just add butter and water and whatever else you want:  chocolate chips, toffee bits, nuts, etc.  And I love making quick sugar cookies out of our Vanilla Sugar Cookie Mix!  (I also like to frost them with homemade buttercream that I've flavored with powdered Thrive strawberries...so good!).  The brownies and the macaroons are JUST ADD WATER MIXES!!!  And the macaroons are gluten free!!!  

The point is, these are great to give because then people can decide when THEY want to have them!


Our bread dough mixes come out perfect EVERY time!  I love them.  I can make them into rolls, loaf bread, pizza crust, cinnamon rolls!  They're very versatile.  They are just add water and yeast mixes.  Our cornbread mix is a tasty way to add cornbread slices or muffins to a hearty meal.  And it's a JUST ADD WATER mix!!!


If there's any beverage synonymous with the holiday season, it's cocoa!!!  
So many people absolutely LOVE these yogurt bites--they are addictive!!!  We have so many flavors to choose from but my personal favorites are Pomegranate and Vanilla....and they are AMAZING sprinkled in our cocoa!!!


Now if you're a parent of adult kids and grandkids, maybe you're looking to give the gift of preparation!  I know of several parents and grandparents who have given long-term food storage to their families for a Christmas gift.  It can often be hard for young families to budget for long term food storage so this is a FANTASTIC idea for a meaningful gift!

And, BONUS, order some of these big packages and you could earn some serious FREE and HALF OFF food when we order it as a "party" with YOU as the host!

Follow the link to my Black Friday shopping page to get more details about exactly what is in each package.  And there are more packages than what are pictured below, so browse around and see what you like best!

Black Friday Sale....look at all these great deals!

I'm so excited for the big Black Friday sale!  And they're starting it earlier this year!

Why?

So you don't have to worry about ordering while you're trying to do your "out and about" Black Friday shopping or while you're wanting to spend time with family.

But heck, I can make it even easier than that!  I'm taking preorders now so that you don't have to worry about remembering to place your order!  All you have to do is send me your wish list and billing info and it's all taken care of!

Who can benefit from ordering Thrive?

  • people who want to have supplies on hand for meals and snacks
  • people who want to work on long-term food storage
  • people who throw away food that's gone bad before they can use it
  • people who need to cook for a big family
  • people who need to cook for 1 or 2 people
  • PEOPLE WHO EAT
So, if you are a people who eats, then order!  

You can begin perusing all the pricing by visiting my Easy Order page (which doesn't go live until the sale starts!).  But shown below are some of our biggest deals offered during the sale.

I'll be stocking up on strawberries, broccoli, spinach, cheeses, cookie dough mix (my kids love those mixes!), beef, chicken, and pork!!!  So many great deals this month, not to mention the November specials, which are under the last Black Friday image below (they are already at Black Friday pricing!).  I'll stock up on sausage and scrambled egg mix (our egg mix is SOOOOOO good!).

And our shelving?  Such great deals during the sale...plus they have a sleek new design!!!!





I'm also offering a special prize package!  For every $100 in product that you purchase from me during the Black Friday sale, you will get 1 entry into the drawing.  I'll draw the winning name on Tuesday, November 29!!  Look at this amazing package...hey, this could be yours!


And it's not too late to get in on this sale AS A CONSULTANT!!!  You can make some serious commission during this sale just by sharing your website link and the Black Friday information with friends and family.  Heck, even if you just wanna keep it all to yourself, why would you not also want to make commission from your own purchases?!?!  That's one of the reasons I signed up!


So what are you waiting for?  Contact me for more info or if you have questions....and let's get your order ready for the biggest sale of the year!!!!
