Testimonial Time

One of the many reasons why my family is a THRIVE family is because of its value.  I have already said how nutritious it is and how practical it is for emergency food storage, but it is the value that we get from using THRIVE that makes it such a great product.

Recent Customer Testimonial that I was just texted:  "I'm excited for dinner tonight but also a little nervous...it's a very small box for 100 bucks!" So what happened after they tried it for dinner??!? "So after last nights dinner using thrive for the first time we are hooked. We were both impressed with how much food is actually in there and how good the scrambled eggs were...I couldn't stop raving about it last night!"

THRIVE is such a great value because it allows you to RETAIN all of the food that you purchase.  Most people can buy groceries on sale, but if they don't use it before the expiration date or let it go bad in the fridge they are just throwing their hard earned money away.

THRIVE freeze dried foods last 25 years unopened!!  25 years!  and even after you open it most foods last anywhere from 1 - 1 1/2 years OPENED!!  Yup that's right, that means you can have onions, celery, carrots, red peppers, mangos, peaches, apples, milk, cheese....and the list goes ON and ON...ready to use for anywhere from 1 - 25 years from now!!

Missionaries love Stromboli's!!

We had the missionaries over for dinner last night and made THRIVE Chicken-Spinach Stromboli.  They said it was the most delicious Stromboli they had ever tasted...that might be partly because they are missionaries and have to say nice things...

What was kind of funny is that one of the missionaries used to work at the corporate office/warehouse for THRIVE.  So we started talking about what he did and the company and then we revealed that the Stromboli they just ate was from freeze dried food.  They couldn't believe it!

The recipe for the Stromboli

THRIVE food is delicious, nutritious and an incredible time saver!!

Martha's Garlic-Three Cheese Pizza

I had a recipe swimming in my head for the past couple of days that i really wanted to try out.  THRIVE has a new SAUCE line (a creamy white sauce, rich chicken gravy, a savory beef gravy and a tomato sauce)  so i really wanted to try out the white sauce.

Since I am lazy we bought a refrigerator section pizza crust.  We then re-hydrated some mozzarella and cheddar cheese and mixed that with THRIVE cheese sauce.

the sauce was the hardest part (it took about 3 1/2 minutes) the hardest part was not eating all of the sauce before i put it on the pizza.

Then I threw all the ingredients on the pizza dough, cooked it for 10 mins and voila!!!  An extremely delicious homemade pizza!

The Recipe for those who would like to try out the deliciousness:

SAUCE:
1/2 cup Béchamel (THRIVE Creamy White Sauce)
1 cup water
1/8 cup THRIVE Spinach
1/8 cup onions
Italian seasoning
1 T THRIVE Chives
pinch of garlic salt

- mix   (you can simmer it on the stove top to prep it for the pizza or not...)

CHEESE topping:
1/2 cup THRIVE Cheese powder
1/2 cup THRIVE mozzarella cheese
1/2 cup THRIVE cheddar cheese

Add sauce to pizza dough...then cheese topping...cook @ 450 for 10 mins.

This meal was SOOOOOO Delicious that it received a THUMBS UP from Austin!!!

Holy Scrambled Eggs Batman!!

THRIVE has recently come out with a scrambled egg powder...I was extremely skeptical to try it at first, however we just had the most amazing Breakfast Burritos!!

We simply mixed up the egg powder, and then re-hydrated some THRIVE red peppers, sausage, onions, green chilis and then added some hot sauce.

I was worried to see how they would cook, if it would plump up and cook like regular scrambled eggs and i was pleasantly surprised!

The egg mixture was amazingly delicious!  Another hit for THRIVE!!  I am going to be making these at my party tomorrow morning, so if you would like a free sample call me for the location information.

Party: Saturday April 13th @ 10am, call me 970-405-3785 or email me (coxthrivelife@gmail.com)

Our 30 day THRIVE food challenge

We have been taught that if we are prepared we shall not fear.  This is one of the main principles of why we are trying to increase our emergency preparedness.  However if you do not know HOW TO USE your emergency materials than they are of little use to you.  So I decided that I need to make sure that i KNOW how to use my food storage in case there is an emergency.

My family has been using THRIVE for a long time now, but we have only ever done one or two THRIVE meals a week.  So I came up with a 30 day THRIVE dinner challenge.  Sounds simple enough, and honestly the hardest part so far has been making the decision to do it.

I complied a list of 30 delicious and easy to make THRIVE dinner recipes.  (recipes are found here...http://www.thrivelife.com/c/kitchen/home)  Each night we have something new and delicious.  

I was honestly a little afraid that the kids would not eat and we would have too many leftovers.  I am happy to report that the kids find the food "delicious", "best thing you have made" and "can I have thirds please?"  Even with the kids eating as much as they do, I have had to put some of my recipes on hold, simply because we have too many leftovers!  THRIVE is not only delicious but it goes A LONG WAY TOO!!!

Stop by my website to schedule a party for FREE FOOD!!!  and also to purchase any of the delicious and nutritious THRIVE foods at the lowest price possible!!

Tuscan Chicken Dinner

Another day over and another THRIVE dinner!  Total time making it = 30 mins...but I had to chop my own peppers and cook my own chicken...

Usually we have THRIVE freeze dried red and green bell peppers and I don't have to wash, seed and chop the peppers but we are waiting on our monthly Q to come tomorrow.  AND our freeze dried chicken slices are on order as well, so I had to cut and cook the chicken tonight as well.  

Total Prep time = 30 mins...

Total Prep time with THRIVE ingredients = 15 mins!!  every little bit of time helps!!

Recipe found here: THRIVE Tuscan Chicken

Finished product with freeze dried Mozzarella cheese on top!!

THRIVE Life

Welcome to my new blog for information about THRIVE Life!  The name has recently been changed from Shelf Reliance to THRIVE Life, but the nutritious and delicious food remains the same!!  I wanted to inform everyone about some of the new and amazing products that have come out recently.

First off THRIVE now produces FREEZE DRIED HERBS!!!!  This is soooo cool because you get the taste and the flavor of herbs straight from your garden all year round!!  They have a 25 year unopened shelf life and a 1 year shelf life after you open them!!  Who'd a thunk that you can have fresh herbs in your cabinet for a whole year!!!

Ryan LOVES these...he makes his breakfast eggs and simply puts store bought eggs, freeze dried onions, chives, green chilis and cilantro and lets it all cook together and he has never been happier!!

There is much MUCH more to come...stay tuned!!
