You could even add a grocery store gift card to help fill the containers! (They'd be very heavy if you bought the flour, sugar...) •Tumblers and Water Bottles make great stocking stuffers! And you can even put some personalized silly gifts inside them, like bandages and polysporin for the accident-prone member of the family! •For the teacher, fill a CounterScaping Dry Container or CrystalWave Soup Mug with all the ingredients needed to make hot chocolate. A tasty treat that can be used over and over again! |

Burger Making!
Build a better burger by making it yourself. Using the Fusion Master Mincer, grind your choice of meat: beef, chicken, fish. |
Get Organized!
An organized cupboard makes preparing meals and baking treats so much easier. Divide your cupboards/cabinets/pantry into stations. •Baking Station: Flour, sugar, brown sugar, baking soda etc. Everything you use for baking is kept in the same section. •Pasta and Beans Station: Rectangles and SuperOvals are great for organizing the foods that make daily means. •Breakfast Station: Move the cereal from the boxes into SuperCereal Storers, SuperOvals with Pour-All seals, or Squares--you'll know when you're almost out of a box of cereal because the containers are clear--no more pulling out the box only to find it's empty! •Snack Station: Even though we all want a healthier diet, it's still nice to treat oneself everyone once in awhile. Besides, crackers will go stale quickly if not kept airtight. So keep the marshmallows soft and the homemade cookies fresh in Modular Mate Square containers. •Beverage Station: Hot chocolate, tea, coffee--These all need to be kept in airtight containers to maximize flavour. Don't know where to get started? Host a party and we'll focus on Cupboard Organization. Or book a Custom Kitchen Planning session with me--I'll work with you to organize your cupboards, selecting the right shapes and sizes to fit your needs. I'll even come back and help you put them in the cupboards when your order arrives! |

Back To School
The start of the new school year is quickly approaching. Plan now for litterless lunches for school and work.Using Tupperware containers everyday saves you money and reduces the amount of wrappers, etc. going to waste. |
Freeze-It!
•Flash-freeze strawberries & raspberries and other bite-size fruit pieces on a cookie sheet in your freezer. Once frozen, transfer to a Freeze-It or FreezerMate Container. •Blueberries can go directly into your Freeze-It or FreezeSmart Container--no flash-freezing required. •Blanch most vegetables, especially leafy greens, before freezing. If not blanched first, some vegetables, while still safe to eat, will have colours, textures, and flavours that are a bit off. After blanching, immediately put the vegetables into ice water--you want to cool the food down as quickly as possible to stop the cooking process. Next, drain the vegetables and dry off as best as possible, then store in Freeze-It or FreezerMate Containers. Below are blanching times. (All approximate.) Artichoke(Hearts) 6 minutes |
Hosting Tips
Keep it simple! •We're making something for guests to try at the party, so only put out one or two other things to eat.Personally invite guests •A phone call to friends is the best way to invite them. Social media is great for reminders, but the personal touch let's you know who can make it. Over invite. •Things come up and people can't make it last minute, so invite twice as many people as you expect. Bring a friend! •When inviting guests, tell them to bring a friend/relative/coworker with them that you don't know--they'll receive a gift from me for doing so. Have fun! –It's a Tuppeware party! I'll be showering you with gifts so relax and enjoy it. |
