Start a Healthy Winter Tradition – Host your 1st Annual Soup Swap Party!

Plan a Soup Swap Party

Soup Swap Party

Another who woulda thunk it moment! January 18th (the 3rd Saturday of January) is this year's National Annual Soup Swap Day. We originally read about this creative party idea in Sara McColl's Yahoo article entitled “The Only Party Invitation We Want This Time of Year” . I guess it should not surprise anyone that we were intrigued. A winter party theme that is easy to organize, allows you to keep your weight loss / get healthy resolutions, has very little cost associated with it. And best of all you get to go home with one of the best party favors ever –  6 quarts of delicious soups, enough for dinner for a week.

And even if you missed the official soup swap day, no worries. As far as we are concerned any day can be soup swap day.

Soup Swap Party Supplies

What else you and your 5 guests will need:

  • Six (6) Quarts of delicious homemade freezable soup
  • 6 Ball Wide Mouth Quart Jars with Lids and Bands
  • Each invitee should pour the soup into the individual mason jars.
  • Jars should be labeled with the chef's name, the name of the soup and the date prepared (you can even include the mason jar labels with your invitations)

The host should prepare an extra pot of soup to be served with a loaf of warm bread and a bottle or two of fabulous wine from one of our “go to” Wine merchants >> Gift Tree | The California Wine Club | Wine.com | Wine of the Month Club Continue Reading →

Celebrate & Support Women's Causes

Celebrate & Support Women's Causes >> PuravVida Bracelets

Celebrate & Support Women's Causes

This week Hillary Clinton made history. She became the first woman to accept a major national political party's nomination for President of the United States. Whether you agree with her politics, or not, this is a milestone in women's history and can and should be celebrated. How, you ask? We think the very best way to embrace the moment is to celebrate the women in your life and to support women's causes.

And yes, we are absolutely obsessed with Pura Vida Bracelets but not just because they are adorable and affordable, but because you can party pretty, all day and into the night, AND add meaning to your celebration. Part  of the proceeds from the sale of all of these bracelets go towards benefiting important women's causes. Additionally, every time you wear them, you help spread awareness of the issues affecting hundreds of thousands of women around the world.  In a small way, you become an ambassador for the cause.

These darling bracelets are so affordable you can buy one for yourself, and one for each of your friends and relatives.  Make them match!

BistroMD – Customizable Meal Plans To Reset Your Resolution!

BistroMD - Customizable Meal Plans To Reset Your Resolution!

Reset your weight loss resolution with BistroMD

If you're anything like us, you may need a reset on that weight loss resolution as we enter our third week of 2013.  Don't get down on yourselves and give up, we are considering those first three weeks practice anyway.  Reset your calendar and join us with our new bistroMD eating plan.

…

We get it, you're busy, and just like us chances are you don't have time to grocery shop for fresh and expensive ingredients to create yourself gourmet healthy meals at the end of a long day.  We're with you, and that's why we love bistroMD's new personalized meal plans.  Not only are they healthy and do not contain fillers or MSG like some other packaged meal plans, they are completely customizable with specifically designed programs for men and women.  Don't like fish? Then take fish completely out of your personal meal plan.  How great is that? No more choking down foods you don't enjoy just because they are part of the pre-set diet plan you signed up for.

..

This is plan is no powdered shake, dehydrated soup or boxed food either! We wont be starving ourselves to get back into bikini shape for Spring Break in Cabo or fit into that special occasion dress for summer weddings .  On bistroMD's new meal plan we will be enjoying dishes like buckwheat berry pancakes, chicken burrito bowls and broccoli and beef. YUM!  So join us this year and take the healthy and nutritious route to achieve your resolution!  bistroMD couldn't make this any easier, just choose your foods, order them customized to your taste, and wait for the delivery (which right now is free!)

…

Party Hearty! Party Pretty!
