February Mystery Hostess

FEBRUARY MYSTERY HOST FUN!!

I am looking for 10 people to participate in a Homemade Gourmet Mystery Host Catalog Party
for the month of February.

This is how it works:

Every participant will need to obtain $100 worth of orders from friends, family, yourself and/or coworkers.  At the end of the sale there will be $1000 worth of orders. The 10 individuals' names will be placed in a hat to draw for the host rewards. (If you collect over the $100 worth of orders, you will get an additional prize of 10% in free products for everything you collect above the $100 minimum -- for example, if you collect $400 worth of orders, you will be entered into the drawing below AND receive your choice of $30 in FREE products! If you fall short of the $100 minimum, you will just receive the regular host 10% in free products for the total collected).

Check out the prizes: 

•1st Prize - $100 in FREE Products!

•2nd prize - A FREE February Bundle

•3rd Prize - a 40% discount off any two Pantry Staples

•4th prize - a 20% discount on anything and everything in the catalog - plus tax/shipping

•5th through 10th prize - a 10% discount on anything and everything in the catalog - plus tax/shipping

The odds are awesome!  10 out of 10 of you walk away with a prize.

It only takes a handful of orders to get there, so how about it? 

I will provide you with the HG catalogs.  To view the catalog on line, you can also send your guests to:   www.homemadegourmet.com/lesliestrange Click on “Buy Our Products” (Just be sure that they give the order to you NOT order directly through the website so that you will get credit for it).

I will be sending you order forms - you will need to add 10% for combined tax and shipping on each order. 

What a great way to party! You don't even need to clean your house. 

The Mystery Host Catalog Party will begin Monday, February 7nd and ends Saturday, February 26th. 

You will need to mail or email me your orders on or before February 26th.  The drawing will be Sunday, February 27th at 2 pm.  All participants will be notified by email. 

What do you have to lose?  Email me and get a spot. This is going to be fun!

J.A.M.

J.A.M.

Just. Add. Meat.

What's for dinner? Do you ask yourself that question all the time? Do you get frustrated when you don't know what you're going to fix or you don't have all the ingredients you need?

If so, you're in luck! J.A.M. is your answer! I will provide all you need to make 5 wonderful meals you can keep in your freezer until the next time you ask, "What's for dinner?" - all you have to do is Just Add Meat! Each meal calls for 1 ½ lbs of meat. 

February’s JAM’s are:
Stroganoff Made Easy

Picante Chicken

Soft Fajita Tacos

Italian Chicken

Mediterranean Pork Chops

Each meal is $6.  You choose which ones you want and how many of each you want.  Please fill out a card if you are interested in J.A.M.’s. If you can't make it, but would like the meals, I can put them together for you and deliver them to you for an additional $5.  Then all you have to do is add your meat, then freeze until ready to prepare.  Meals can be prepared in the crock-pot or oven, and sometimes on the grill.

Upcoming J.A.M. session:

February 1 @ 7:00

Pantry Staple Changes

The Pantry Staple Container and all Pantry Staple Combos are going away permanently as
of Feb. 22, 2011. Pantry Staple packaging will be improved from a topper to a full-color box
with recipes and a reference to Key to the Kitchen beginning Feb. 23. The box will include a
bag clip so the seasoning can be stored long-term in the bag inside the box. It is possible you
may receive Pantry Staples in the new packaging prior to Feb. 22, depending on the supplies
of our old packaging. The new packaging requires some changes to volume and pricing of
Pantry Staples; those changes will be communicated with the introduction of the new
