Hi everyone......I need your help! Our exec director gave us the idea of using samples of seasonings in a small zip loc bag with a recipe on it to use it as door prizes. My notes from her email WILL NOT OPEN!!!!!!!!!! :cry:

Does anyone know what I am talking about? Does anyone have any recipes that you can use 2-3 tsp of seasonings for?? This is supposed to create re-orders...I think it's a great idea, but I have no recipes. Can anyone help?

TIA!! :thumbup:

Awesome!!! Thanks!!!

I looked for the files here, but typed in the wrong words!!
 
Chris - there are also some for folded packets on card stock that someone posted and I edited later...I will look for those in a few minutes for you.
 
How much seasoning is in each "sample"? The instructions for the dips just say "contents" of package.

#9713 All-Purpose Dill Mix
DIP: Mix contents with 1 cup each
Sour Cream & Mayonnaise.
Refrigerate until time to use.

#9714 Southwestern Seasoning
DIP: Mix contents with 1 cup each
Sour Cream & Mayonnaise.
Refrigerate until time to use.

(Obviously I have never used the spices to make the dips!!)
Thanks!
 
2-3 tablespoons, for each of those recipes. They're based on the dip recipes that are on the sides of the bottles.
 
Thanks (again) Ann!!

If I could have been patient (never) and waited until I got home I may have had half a chance at figuring it out (maybe!!):)

But I saw those labels for the first time this morning and thought this would be a nice bring a friend gift. And, of course, couldn't wait to get started on getting the labels together!

Side note: I have to admit that previously I only used to order the Cinn, Cinn+ and Ital Seasonings. When I signed in Sept I bought one of each pantry item. We have been using the rubs a lot lately and I haven't paid much attention to the Seasonings (except for the Asian). Now I will have to try some of these with dips!
 
How many teaspoons/tablespoons come in the sample packets that we can order each month/season?

Trying to decide if I should get some of those to do these packets and have with me as a cruise around!

Thanks!
 
When ordering seasoning on the supply order we get the same packaging that is sold in the catalog just at a lower price.
 
The BBQ, Southwest and Dill all make great dip! Super with pretzels as a quick "add-on" to a show. In fact, I know consultants who offer a free bonus recipe when the host has more than X confirmed (usually 10 or 12), and that's what they make. They get mayo and sour cream in the big containers at Costco or Sam's Club, and a big bag of pretzels. Most make a half batch - 1/2 cup each sour cream and mayo, so they don't have as much waste at the end of the evening. The dip shows a surprising number of products for such a simple recipe (batter bowl or SS mixing bowl, measure all cup, scrapers, measuring spoons, SA - for serving, Twixit Clips - on the bag of pretzels...) and gets people thinking about the seasonings.
 
Oh my gosh - this is why this board is so great!!!

I needed a little something extra for Sat's show and was debating on the garlic bites - but that seemed like too much. So the dip with the pretzels will be great. I can whip it up right in front of them! Which is better with the pretzels, Southwest or Dill??

Thanks!

Thanks Ann...I never thought to use the BBQ to make a dip.

I like them both. If you have both, let the guests vote on which one they want to try. That's what I did last night with 30 minute chicken (I gave them the choice of the Jerk seasoning or BBQ).
