I have tried a lot of different granola recipes, in varying levels of healthiness. I finally found what I believe to be the perfect granola recipe in the GreenSmoothieGirl.com‘s 12-steps to whole foods book which I’ve been working though this year. I make a big batch of this and store it in a tupperware on […]

Missionary Meals in Bags
If you have been around the Internet at all this Christmas season you may have seen the #LIGHTtheWORLD campaign being promoted by our church (The Church of Jesus Christ of Latter Day Saints). We blogged about how we are participating specifically at this blog post. This campaign hit close to home for me because my […]
Thrive TRICK – OR -TREAT?
THIS just went out to our newsletter subscribers. Halloween is coming up and we have 2 TREATS for you. The first is a great meal-in-jar Hearty Chili recipe that can be thrown together ahead of time and cooked on a busy fall evening (like Halloween). The second is FREE SHIPPING on consultant kits until Oct […]
Kale Brownies
These Kale brownies are an easy and delicious treat. Kale was launched at convention and we are already LOVING it in our daily cooking. It is such a healthy food and easy to “sneak” some extra veggie power into almost any dish. This is a great way to use it even in a DESSERT! Ingredients: […]
Pullled Pork Stuffed Crepes
Back from convention and still dreaming about some of the recipes we got to try. Chef Todd is literally a master at what he does. This recipe features 2 of the new products released at convention. Pulled Pork and Kale! Yay! I’ll admit though, I’m a little lazy and may not stuff crepes with these […]
Coconut Chocolate Chip Brownies
My family does weekly Sunday dinners at my mom’s house and each of us brings an item to go along with the main dish that she will be cooking. Some weeks I just DO NOT feel like going to the grocery store and this was one of those weeks. I volunteered to make the dessert […]
Patriotic Jello with Freeze-Dried Fruits
We originally posted this on our Food Storage Made Easy blog but thought it would be fun to share it here too since it uses Thrive freeze-dried fruits. This patriotic jello is completely a “shelf stable” recipe if you use freeze-dried fruits in it. It also works perfectly fine with regular fruit and cool-whip. It’s […]
BRAND NEW FOOD STORAGE CALCULATOR
While we LOVE using Thrive foods in our everyday cooking we joined Thrive because of the foods they offered for Food Storage. We were used to storing grains, legumes, and sugar from the typical food storage calculator you’ve probably all seen. With those types of foods in our food storage we always felt like certain foods […]
Cauliflower and Mac and Cheese
My 3rd son has broken me. Up until him I could get my kids to eat vegetables. My first ate them easily. My second ate them with some negotiating. But my 3rd just HATES them. As he has gotten older we’ve been able to work with him to eat more and more but he still […]
Baking with Powdered Milk
Who doesn’t love a sinfully delicious Sunday dessert? A few weeks ago we were assigned to bring the dessert for family dinner. I had eaten this dessert a few years ago and thought it would be a great one to bring. One thing I LOVE about having Thrive on hand is it makes last minute […]
