Tasty Tuesday: Slow Cooker Boneless Turkey Breast

I have been looking for some new basic recipes.  Since being on the Wahl’s Program I am eating more fruits, veggies and meat (organic, grass fed) and I am bored with the basics.  LOL.  With hubby working swing shift, I only cook twice a week so I want to make things I can freeze for him but I can also have for me during the week.  Having things I can add to my salad is a big help.  This recipe makes having lots of meals quick and easy.  I found it on Facebook and can’t remember who shared it but thank you!

Prep:  10 minutes     Cook:  8 hours

 

Ingredients

• 1 (10 pound) boneless turkey breast
• 2 (1 ounce) packages dry onion soup mix
• 3/4 cup water
• 2 tablespoons garlic powder
• 2 tablespoons onion powder
• 1 tablespoon dried parsley
• 1 tablespoon seasoned salt 
• 1 tablespoon dried basil
• 1 tablespoon dried oregano

Directions

1. Place turkey breast into a large slow cooker. Whisk onion soup mix and water in a bowl and pour the mixture over the turkey breast, spreading it out to evenly cover the meat.
2. Stir garlic powder, onion powder, parsley, seasoned salt, basil, and oregano in a bowl until thoroughly combined; sprinkle the seasonings over the turkey breast.
3. Cook on Low until turkey is very tender and the seasonings have flavored the meat, 8 to 9 hours. An instant-read meat thermometer inserted into the thickest part of the breast should read at least 165 degrees F (75 degrees C).

Tip:  Try using a Reynolds® slow cooker liner in your slow cooker for easier cleanup.

Lots of leftovers?  Isn’t that the reason we cook in the crockpot when there is only two people?  LOL.  Thirty One’s Lunch Buddy Thermal is a perfect size for the light luncher or the kids.  This roomy, insulated cooler bag is perfectly sized and styled for packing lunch and snacks for you or the kids, with a water-resistant thermal lining, zipper closure, large front pocket and mesh side bottle pocket. Personalize your lunch bag with an embroidered name, monogram or Icon-It design for school, work or travel. Just a heads up too…. this is on the retirement list which means it will be gone at the end of August.  Be sure to grab yours now!

Have a blessed day!

Tis the Season of Catalog Changes

I can’t believe we had Thirty One’s Fall Reveal already.  It was AMAZING!  No this is not about all of the newness coming our way which will tickle you PINK.  It is to shed some light on how to make a catalog change an AWESOME experience for the consultant and her customers.

For those in direct sales, you know the introduction of NEWNESS creates a lot of excitement.  You are eager to share the catalog with friends, family and customers. You want everyone to be excited so YOU can fill your calendar for the next few months.  But unfortunately, there are still a few weeks left in July.  I don’t know about you but I would like to get a paycheck in August, so sharing needs to be done in a way to NOT lose business in July.  Yes, it can be tricky BUT it can be done!

As a hobbyist, I was one of those people who wrote off the current season and eagerly shared the new catalog.  I didn’t have a plan nor was I thinking about what it could do to my current month end.  I was just pushing for the Fall – the busiest selling season of the year.  I figured my customers had the same catalog for the last six months so they were ready for something fresh.  I know I was.  As soon as I shared the new, sales for the current month dropped or sometimes stopped.  Could I have expected anything more?

Here are some tips and tricks to keep the excitement building for the new catalog while grabbing those last sales in the current catalog.  So, whether you are a new consultant or a seasoned one, let’s all make the most of the next few weeks as we get ready to launch a NEW catalog season.

Here are some of the tips to finish off the season strong:

• Use Customer Care Card or Door Prize Slips to secure bookings and leads at events. Those who book with a date, get a sneak peak at the new catalog.  Let them be the first to receive it in the mail.  Follow-up is important.
• Use Hostess Stacking and booking games at parties.
• Keep the party fun to keep your calendar full. To keep your business growing, your goal should be at least 2 bookings from every party or event.  Ask yourself, would you have fun at your parties?  If not, time for a change!
• Build strong relationships with customers and hostesses. Communication before, during and after the party is the key to building trust and begins building a solid relationship.  They will trust you and people buy from who they trust!
• Think outside the box for a home party.  Everyone is on the go, so, why not take your party on the go? From a backyard barbeque, an afternoon at the park with your girlfriends and the kiddos, a pool party, the beach, a night out with girls, an ice cream social and traveling with friends and family.
• This is tricky time – products and prints will be selling out. Know what is available, and be ready to offer options.  Have an idea about what is coming to encourage conversations with potential hostesses. It allows you to have a one on one conversations,  making them feel special because you are providing them with a sneak peek of the upcoming hostess and customer specials.
• Offer a fun enticing way to get their hands on a book!  A Last Chance, First Glance party. Give your July hostesses the opportunity to get a sneak peek of the new fall catalog at their party.
• Reach out customers who liked a certain print to help them finish their collection if it is leaving.  Encourage your hostesses or customers to plan parties or purchase early in the month (or as soon as the list comes out), as items begin to sell out closer to the end of the month.

So, what is YOUR best tip for keeping momentum during a catalog change? Share your tips with us.

Have ThirtyOne-derful day!

Going Going GONE!!!!

It is the time of year that I have a love hate relationship with – catalog change. Don’t get me wrong, I LOVE all of the NEWESS. I can’t wait to weed out my inventory and get new product.
