Special Christmas Treat from Shelf Reliance

When I think of Christmas I think of loved ones, goodie plates, and refreshing flavors and smells.  Shelf Reliance has come up with the perfect way to touch upon all three of these things -

Fudge Brownies available only through a consultant or a home party.

FUDGE BROWNIE BITES DIPPED IN WHITE CHOCOLATE AND ROLLED IN CRUSHED PEPPERMINT CANDIES!

Just stick a candy cane in the brownie bite, stand them up on Christmas themed plates and watch your loved ones smile as you give it to them!

Along with this great idea comes a special price!!  You can now order one of the pantry-sized cans for 20% off the retail price - $5.59.  Order a case of 10 and the price gets even lower when you save 25%!!  You will want that many when you think of all of the teachers, neighbors, mailmen, hairstylists, and more to whom you would like to give a unique Christmas gift.

Give the can or make the treats using the brownie bites.  You will NOT BE DISAPPOINTED!!!  Just modify the recipe below by using white almond bark, a touch of min extract and crushed peppermint candies.  If you want to make the recipe as is with yogurt bites then contact me and we can get those ordered for you along with the Christmas Fudge Brownies cans.

November Q pon

Over the river and through the woods, to grandmother's house we go . . . .

OK, so it's not yet Christmas and just because the song mentions "grandmother" that doesn't mean that she has granny apples.  However - this month's Shelf Reliance Q pon is for freeze dried granny smith apple slices.  Oddly enough, it made me think of that Christmas song.  Now, if grandmother happens to like granny smith apples, she should definitely stock up on this THRIVE fruit so that, when the snow comes down, she can still enjoy these delicious apples.

She can use them to make apple crisp, apple tart with caramel sauce, or Chef Todd's apple pie recipe featured on this month's November Q pon flyer.  A more simple and delicious use of these granny smith apple slices is to just add them to a bowl of basic granola cereal.


Take advantage of this great opportunity to add a healthy, delicious, and versatile fruit to your food storage or pantry with this month's Q price.  Don't have a Q?  Contact me for more details and, if it works for you, we will get you started!

November Monthly Specials

November is here and Shelf Reliance has chosen to showcase some of their fantastic gluten-free products in this month's specials. The timing couldn't be better as we approach the holiday season and plates of baked goods are shared between friends and family.

quad chocolate chip cookies

Use rice flour or millet to make delicious cookies, creative cakes, or even trendy cupcakes.  Use both rice flour and millet when you try this recipe for Gluten Free Chocolate Cupcakes recipe found allrecipes.com.  Impress the imagination and taste buds by blending fruity freeze dried pears into this cupcake.  Get really creative by removing the cocoa powder, adding freeze dried fuji apple slices and an oatmeal crumble topping accentuated with a caramel drizzle.

The hectic pace of the holiday season is also the perfect time to take advantage of the quick-prepare THRIVE Express products.  Add water, boil for 15 minutes, and dinner is ready.  This month's specials feature the Southwest Style Chicken and Rice as well as the Creamy Garden Vegetable Chowder.  Better yet, stick a bow on the pouch and give it as a gift.

water filtration straw

Shelf Reliance also helps you in giving unique yet practical emergency preparedness products for Christmas gifts.  Who couldn't use a Sparkie Fire Starter and/or a convenient Water Filtration Straw.  I LOVE THESE TWO PRODUCTS.  As seen by the devastation of Sandy, water and warmth become a priceless commodity when left to fend for oneself for a while.  They can easily fit into a kit, a glove compartment, or a trailer.
