<br />
<span style="font-size: large;">10.</span> <span style="color: #3d85c6; font-size: large;"><b>Kits are on sale!</b></span><span style="color: #45818e;"> </span>Now until <span style="color: red;">September 14th</span> all the Shelf Reliance <a href="http://www.shelfreliance.com/starter-kit-sale">consultant kits are 20% off</a>. This is an amazing value of food and supplies to get started Today! in no other business have i ever seen a start up cost as low as this...with the benefits and the potential as HUGE as Shelf Reliance! <br />
<br />
<span style="font-size: large;"><span style="background-color: white;">9.</span> <span style="color: #3d85c6;"><b>Helping others get prepared</b><b>!</b></span></span> How fun it is for me to know that i can make money and get my family prepared. but that i can also, help others get their families prepared, and help them earn money is <i>so rewarding</i>. i love hearing others tell me a "weight has been lifted" and that it was so simple! it's true, it's simple! and we can help! <br />
<br />
<span style="font-size: large;">8. <span style="color: #3d85c6;"><b>No sales requirements or quotas!</b></span></span> You decide what your goals are, and how far you want to take <a href="http://www.shelfreliance.com/parties/index/becomeconsultant">your business</a>! You don't have to have any inventory, as every shipment is sent directly to the customer. So you can really work your business when and if you choose. <br />
<br />
<span style="font-size: large;">7. <span style="color: #3d85c6;"><b>Thriving Nations!</b></span></span> Shelf Reliance donates 5% of all profits to the charity, <a href="http://www.shelfreliance.com/give">Thriving Nations</a>. my husband and i always said that we wanted to "give back" in some way. but found it hard to do while raising a young family. after we traveled to Ghana Africa together, we felt an even stronger desire to help these countries become more self-reliant. when i found out that Shelf Reliance does this very thing...it sealed the deal for me! i love being a part of a company that understands the importance of giving back and does so consistently! <br />
<br />
<span style="font-size: large;">6. <span style="color: #3d85c6;"><b>The Quality!</b></span> </span>You get to share a <i>quality product</i> with others that is a need. we all need food, and will continue to need nutritional food as long as we live! helping others see the benefits to having food on hand in your home, cutting costs at the grocery store and creating a self reliant environment has been such a joy for me. You get to work with a <i>quality company</i>! Though you are your own business owner, <a href="http://www.shelfreliance.com/parties/index/companysupport">the company </a>is always there to lead support, advice, and guidance as you build your business! <br />
<br />
<span style="font-size: large;">5.</span> <span style="color: #3d85c6; font-size: large;"><b>Commission!</b> </span>You get paid just for helping others build their Home Store and emergency supplies! Your <a href="http://www.shelfreliance.com/parties/index/earningpotential">earning potential</a> is endless with the business. Shelf Reliance has made it possible to grow this into your personal idea of success. from $500 a month to a 3-5 year plan to retirement...it's ALL POSSIBLE!<br />
<br />
<span style="font-size: large;">4. <span style="color: #3d85c6;"><b>Thriving Lifestyle!</b></span></span> I have been so impressed at what this business has done for my family. we have more time, more adventures, and more opportunities in this last year than we ever thought possible! Our family feels secure, safe and prepared for whatever may lie ahead...and in the mean time we have a lot of FUN!<br />
<br />
<span style="font-size: large;">3.</span> <span style="color: #3d85c6; font-size: large;"><b>The Q!</b> </span>The Q sets us apart from any other food storage company. we have <i>high-quality, nutrient-rich</i> products...and now a way for families to get it in their home. The Q allows families to reallocate money from their personal food budget to an auto-ship program. It's creates a plan that is just right for your families dietary needs, and then ships the food to you each month! getting groceries to your door....Yes, Please!! I started this plan one year ago and have loved it ever since. how would i have even been able to get a one year supply of food before the Q??? it use to seem impossible. the Q makes it stress-free, simple, and efficient! i love <a href="http://www.shelfreliance.com/parties/index/thriveq">the Q</a>! So why is the Q so great for Consultants?? it creates <i>RESIDUAL INCOME!</i> that means you get paid continually for the same sale! How cool is that?! <br />
<br />
<span style="font-size: large;">2.</span> <span style="color: #3d85c6;"><b><span style="font-size: large;">Host Benefits!</span> </b></span>as a consultant you can earn all the same host benefits that we offer our Hosts too! that means aside from your commission, you'll get FREE and Half Off items TOO!! I have earned food, shelving, sleeping bags, 72 hour kits, first aid kits, emergency supplies, water filtration, and so much more with my <a href="http://www.shelfreliance.com/parties/index/hostbenefits">Host Benefits</a>...and it was ALL FREE!!! the generosity of Shelf Reliance with the Host Benefits alone, is worth being a consultant!<br />
<br />
<span style="font-size: large;">1.</span> <span style="color: #3d85c6; font-size: large;"><b>Getting our own family prepared!</b></span><span style="font-size: large;"> </span>My husband and I had heard it all before..."get your families prepared." and we knew that it would someday be something we would look into, and do. but lets be honest...first, i never really wanted to spend money of food that i didn't think tasted good. two, i had no idea what we would really need it for, and three, we figured we'd have to wait till we were done with school, done with raising a family, and had some extra cash floating around. Now i have seen that this is so much easier than i ever though...and just as vital as we had been told! our family has now taken the simple steps to work toward our emergency goals. we have felt tremendously blessed, and feel no fear in what may lie in our future. it is never to late or to early to start building a Home Store for your family!<br />
<br />
<span style="color: #3d85c6;"><span style="font-size: large;">oh...and one more...it's FUN! </span></span><br />

WOW! I just won an ALL INCLUSIVE trip to Costa Rica!! This is just how cool this business is! I will be celebrating my 1 year anniversary as a Shelf Reliance consultant. can you believe it? after only <i>one year</i> (October 1st) of working this business from home, I have earned a spot in the top 25 of this <b>International company</b>. I'm #23 to be exact. My husband and I will be going on this trip together...FREE airfaire, free hotel, free food, free excursions, free transportation!! This will be the BEST TRIP EVER!! (can you tell how excited I am?) </div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
That is what I love about Shelf Reliance! While this contest was running, I didn't really do anything different. and just by simply running my business...i won! I still got paid <i>commission</i> during this, I even earned a LOT of <i>free product</i>! (cause that just comes with the job) I guess they just decided to be <b>extra generous and give a HUGE gift too!</b> I am so dang thankful for this job. We feel so blessed to have found it, and that we jumped in for this opportunity!!</div>

<b>THRIVE MONTEREY CHICKEN</b><br />
<br />
4 boneless, skinless chicken breasts<br />
1/4 c. bar-b-que sauce ( I use Bull's Eye)<br />
1/4 c. THRIVE bacon tvp<br />
1 c. THRIVE shredded cheddar cheese (reconstituted)<br />
1 14 oz. can Rotel tomatoes, drained (canned with green chilies added)<br />
sliced green onions (or THRIVE onions)<br />
pepper<br />
<br />
Preheat oven to 400 degrees. Pound out chicken breasts to flatten.
Season with pepper. Grill chicken until no long pink (we used our George
Foreman grill) and place on baking sheet covered with foil. Top each
chicken breast with one tablespoon bar-b-que sauce, 1/4 c. cheese, 1/4
c. tomatoes, green onions and one tablespoon of bacon bits. Place in
oven and bake until cheese is melted (about 5 minutes).<br />
<br />
***This is the first time we marinated the chicken breasts before
cooking and they were great. You don't have to though. Marinade: 1/4 c.
olive oil, 2 T. soy sauce, 2 tsp. McCormick Montreal Steak Seasoning.
(We only marinade about a half hour or the meat gets too salty for us.)<br />
<br />

According to scientific research, freeze-dried green and berry extracts can contribute to optimum health and free radical oxidation in ways that traditionally stored and prepared fruits and vegetables cannot.

Stir in cheese, allow to melt, and serve.<br /></pre></span></div><div style="text-align: center;"><span class="Apple-style-span" style="-webkit-text-decorations-in-effect: underline; ">(using THRIVE will decrease the cooking time as well....best way to make this...taste test often)</span></div><div><span class="Apple-style-span" style="color: rgb(0, 0, 238); -webkit-text-decorations-in-effect: underline; "><br /></span></div><div><span class="Apple-style-span" style=" ;font-family:Tahoma, Verdana, Arial, sans-serif;"><pre style="color: rgb(42, 42, 42); font-size: 13px; text-align: center; line-height: 17px; white-space: normal; ">If you like a bit thicker soup, I take a ladle of just broth at the end and mix with -2 tablespoons of cornstarch, whisk it together and then add back to the soup, let it heat up and soup will thicken.<br /></pre><pre style="color: rgb(42, 42, 42); font-size: 13px; text-align: center; line-height: 17px; white-space: normal; "></pre><pre style="text-align: center; line-height: 17px; white-space: normal; "><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-size:180%;">Happy Cooking!!</span></pre><pre style="color: rgb(42, 42, 42); font-size: 13px; text-align: center; line-height: 17px; white-space: normal; "></pre></span></div>marcihttp://www.blogger.com/profile/02213390700852191688noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1728331876270091836.post-37337146595815020892012-01-26T14:39:00.000-08:002012-01-26T14:40:20.438-08:00GO Convention!<span class="Apple-style-span" style="color: rgb(34, 34, 34); font-family: Arial, Tahoma, Helvetica, FreeSans, sans-serif; font-size: 13px; line-height: 18px; ">Countdown to convetion: 77 days!</span><div><span class="Apple-style-span" style="color: rgb(34, 34, 34); font-family: Arial, Tahoma, Helvetica, FreeSans, sans-serif; font-size: 12px; line-height: 16px; "></span><span class="Apple-style-span" style="color: rgb(34, 34, 34); font-family: Arial, Tahoma, Helvetica, FreeSans, sans-serif; font-size: 13px; line-height: 18px; ">Coundown to last day of early bird registration: 6 days</span><div class="post-body entry-content" id="post-body-7359087515700042924" style="width: 540px; position: relative; "><div style="text-align: left;"><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family:Arial, Tahoma, Helvetica, FreeSans, sans-serif;font-size:85%;color:#222222;"><span class="Apple-style-span" style="line-height: 18px;"><br /></span></span></div><span class="Apple-style-span" style="color: rgb(34, 34, 34); font-family: Arial, Tahoma, Helvetica, FreeSans, sans-serif; line-height: 18px; font-size: small; ">Make sure to register for convention now!

<div style="text-align: center;">
we love smoothies at our house.</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
who doesn't?</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
so every time i make them i have these </div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
great intentions of pouring them in one of our finest glasses,</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
making sure the light is just right, </div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
perhaps adding a garnish,</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
and snapping a great photo for ya'll.</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<i>however,</i></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
we just eat it <span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-size: 180%;">way</span> to fast!</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
and it never happens.</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
this time, while i could hear the family going after seconds and thirds</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
i called down...</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
"hey babe, i wanted to take a picture before you drink it all"</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
and heard......"don't worry, i will."</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span class="Apple-style-span" style="color: #0000ee;"><img alt="" border="0" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5696192294784045762" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEieVF41-ctlThzQ4BiM8cUYN5hvJ2VKp859f50SXOZWuu1DFYzAnhJ3DalEUFSDs2Up_1GO-Mw75lFzC_S9WTR49oiS2Pecfo8SxATPWzPYb4LfVW-peEt1EHhgeTOCwFcoD7pKA1vYyKY/s400/IMG_0049.jpg" style="cursor: pointer; display: block; height: 400px; margin-bottom: 10px; margin-left: auto; margin-right: auto; margin-top: 0px; text-align: center; width: 300px;" /></span></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
and now that the blender has practically been licked clean,</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
this is all i have to show for our wonderful dessert tonight.</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
i guess it just goes to show how yummy it really is.</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
the recipe.....well it's truly whatever you want to make it.</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
this time is was </div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
THRIVE strawberries</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
THRIVE banana slices</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
THRIVE instant milk (prepared)</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
ice,</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
and a smoothie packet i found at the grocery store for 57 cents. </div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-size: 85%;">(of course, we've made plenty without the packet and they're just as good!)</span></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
more variations:</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
try THRIVE mangos,</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
THRIVE berries (any of them)</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
oh, and THRIVE yogurt is de-lish in these!</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-size: 85%;">*you don't have to rehydrate any of these items, the milk and ice do it for you! </span></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
quickest dessert you'll ever make. </div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
