What's new with Tastefully Simple? September 2017

September is here and fall weather has seemed to come along with it.  Here in Massachusetts it's been relatively cool after a hot summer, and it's getting me in the mood for fall and winter cooking!  Fall is time for tailgating food, breaking out the slow cooker, soups, casseroles for church events, and of course, apples and pumpkins!

Fall-Winter Product Spotlight: Tastefully Simple Everything Topper

Now that the Fall-Winter products are out, I can't wait to get into trying out our new offerings and experimenting with recipes.  I'm starting off my reviews with a product I knew I wanted to try as soon as I heard about it: Everything Topper!

So, if you love everything bagels, you'll love this versatile blend.  It's a combination of dehydrated onion, sesame seed, poppy seed, dehydrated garlic, and salt. So the obvious use is to mix it into cream cheese to spread on a bagel, but what else can you do?

One awesome use for this is to bake it into some Bountiful Beer Bread. Prepare the bread mix as usual, then sprinkle a tablespoon of Everything Topper over the butter. Bake as directed, and try not to drool too much while its baking.  (Seriously, it smells wicked good. )

Oh so good.  I dipped pieces into Onion Onion dip. But there's so much more you can do with it!  Check out some Everything Topper recipes on the TS site.

Tastefully Slim Recipe: Ginger Beef Wraps

I've had many people tell me that they "can't eat that stuff" when talking about Tastefully Simple products and whatever diet they are on. However, I know that our products can be used to make a lot of delicious, healthy meals!  I'm going to be sharing recipes under the Tastefully Slim tag to show that healthy can also be simple and delicious.

Tonight I took a Weight Watcher recipe (Gingery Beef and Mushroom Lettuce Wraps) and modified it a bit to meet my family's tastes and to use one of my favorite Tastefully Simple sauces: Honey Teriyaki Sauce. It was a huge hit with my family, even my picky eater son who said "How can this be healthy?  It tastes good!"

Ginger Beef Wraps

Serves 4-6, depending on appetites

Ingredients:

• 1 lb 93% lean ground beef
• 1 thinly sliced small white or yellow onion
• 2 Tbsp minced fresh ginger
• 2 small heads of baby bok choy, thinly sliced
• 2 cups of thinly sliced white mushrooms
• 1 red bell pepper, thinly sliced
• 1/4 cup of Honey Teriyaki Sauce

1. Spray a large skillet with cooking spray.  Set over medium-high heat.
2. Add ground beef, onion, ginger, and garlic.  Break apart the beef with a spoon and mix frequently to brown for about 5 minutes until no longer pink.
3. Add bok choy, mushrooms, bell pepper, and Honey Teriyaki Sauce.  Stir to combine, and then stir occasionally until bok choy is wilted.  This should take 3-4 minutes.
4. Serve in leaves of bibb lettuce if you want to keep the points down, or use flour tortillas.  Or do some of both, it's up to you!

According to the Weight Watchers calculator, 1/6 of the mixture is only 4 points!  And it is so delicious. If you eat it wrapped up in bibb lettuce leaves, you won't add any points. A flour tortilla adds 3 points, while a corn tortilla adds 2 points. Depending on your tastes and your family, you could serve it with rice, but we just used the tortillas and everyone was happy! Also, this is a quick dinner, it was on the table in about 20 minutes, so its perfect for weeknights.

For those of you who prefer macros, 1/6 of the mixture is 165 calories, 10 carbs, 6 grams of fat, 18 grams of protein, 278 mg of sodium, and 8 grams of sugar. (calculated with My Fitness Pal)

I'd love to hear what you think of this recipe!  Try it at home and share your results on my Facebook page.
