Tupperware Rally: Alley Oop!

PictureMom getting her recognition
I know, I know. Here I go again. Another business I'm getting riled up about and who knows how long this will last, right? 

After this past recognition meeting and rally, I have a feeling this won't be a passing thing. I had the opportunity to cross paths with women who have been with Tupperware for up to 49 years. Can you believe it?! I sure couldn't. Until I met them. In one room, there had to have been over 1000+ combined years of experience all sitting shoulder to shoulder. It was inspiring to say the least.  In this room of people, there were MORE guests than consultants. That was refreshing. To know that so many other people out there, like me, want to seize an opportunity. 

When my mom and I arrived at this meeting place, we had no idea what was in store. When they called my moms name to come up for having one of the top sales for January-February, I screamed. My mom is pictured in the far right in the group photo. She went home with a full set of those square containers. I apologize for not knowing the name. It's not in the catalog.  We were so excited! All she did was share the opportunity with her friends and co workers and people came flocking to her to place orders. WHY?! Because everyone LOVES Tupperware and as soon as they found out she signed up as a consultant, they went running to her.

We all grew up eating from a tupperware plastic spoon at one time or playing with that round red and blue octagon shape sorting toy. Those rounded scoopers and small melon ballers remind us of grandma in the kitchen. There's so much nostalgia in Tupperware yet so much innovation and forward thinking in their products. 

I joined because I wanted the pressure cooker. THAT WAS IT! When I saw how many free things my upline earned, I wanted free stuff too. So, I shared the catalog. I shared the specials and I offer my services to those around me. I'm not here to sell you anything. I'm sure you've got a container missing a seal (cover) or a container that is so old that it got sticky, cracked, or peeled. Contact me for a replacement! Tupperware is lifetime guaranteed.  

I cannot begin to tell you how many free things I have received not only from Tupperware corporate but from my upline just for being a part of their team. It's amazing. And all I paid was $30 (plus s/h and tax). Thirty bucks and I scored over $300 worth of products in my kit. I'm all about the deals baby!

Tupperware is the ONLY company I have seen (so far) that offers SAMPLES at super low prices to their consultants and still give them FULL volume on sales. Yep, I let it out of the bag. So, as a consultant, I'm getting those cute little midget salt and pepper shakers for $3.50! Sample items for dirt cheap. How can ANYONE say no to a deal like that?! And they recognize that sale at a higher sales volume figure. I can't? How? LOL. Who cares! Just take the deal and run with it! It's black friday every day when you're a TW consultant.

I'm not one to push people to do anything nor push people to buy anything. But when it's a deal that you shouldn't pass up, I will shout it from the mountain tops. Cause it's crazy to let something like this just pass you by. 

Ever since I joined and have received so many free items, my family packs lunch every day. We no longer have leftovers, we have "planovers" (Thanks Susan Okoga from Team Special Friends for that term). We always make enough at dinner to pack lunch for the next day. Is it bad that we pack our lunches before we even START dinner? LOL! We no longer have leaked lunches, spilled food, or melted containers. We use crystal wave or vent and serve containers for all our hot lunches. My husband never complains about not having money anymore. HAHA! 

On top of that, cooking has been simpler than ever since Tupperware entered my life. Our electric bill is under $200 every month. For Hawaii that's virtually impossible for family of four in a three bedroom house . I cook with my microwave and use my stove and convection oven sparingly.  

I can't say enough about what Tupperware has done to my life. And all for $30. What are you waiting for?

More Microwave Cooking with Tupperware

3/17/2015

PictureCooked rice in a crystalwave bowl for reheating later.
After attending the last rally at the Oahu Veterans Center on Thursday, I decided to get my tupperware back out. It's been a while since I cooked in the microwave because my daughter has been doing the cooking. Since no one was home, I thought I'd get back in the saddle.

I made hapa rice (half white and half brown rice) in 25 minutes in the stack cooker. I was truly amazed at how well it made rice. No more making rice every day in a metal pot on the countertop. I can store my rice cooker now and allow for more space in our small kitchen. I put 3 cups of rice in the stack cooker (deep bowl) and rinsed it a few times and put 3-1/2 cups of water. Swirl the pot around to level the grains at the bottom of the pot. Put the stack cooker in the microwave WITHOUT the lid and cooked for 25 minutes. Be sure to cook without the cover or it will boil over and you will have a big mess to clean up.

Our microwave is a 1250 watt machine and I cooked it at full power. It cooked the rice just right. Remove the container from the microwave and place the lid on and allow the heat and steam to continue cooking the rice. It cam out PERFECT!  I like knowing we can cook rice daily without the fuss of a big ole pot and its a quick wash. After cooking, I moved the finished rice into a microwavable crystal wave bowl for storage and future reheating if necessary.

After making the rice, I made some quinoa for myself. My family doesn't care for it but I love it and its better for you. I put 1/2 cup of quinoa in the smaller stack cooker bowl and 1/2 of cold water after a quick rinse. I placed the stack cooker (no lid) in the microwave for 8 minutes at full power. It was still a little undercooked so I put it in for another 2 minutes. I then removed the bowl from the microwave and placed the cover on top to allow the steam to continue cooking the quinoa. After a few minutes of "steaming", I fluffed it with a fork and it once again Tupperware amazed me. It was perfectly done and not overcooked or mushy. 

After it was done, I transferred the completed quinoa into a small crystal wave bowl for lunch tomorrow. Now, to make tonights entree.

I quickly washed the large stack cooker bowl to prep for the cubed steak. I thought one steak would be enough so I actually made two batches. When I tasted the first batch, I knew it wouldn't be enough for my husband and daughter. Here's what I used:
1 chuck steak (about 12-16 oz ), cubed into small bite sized pieces
1 whole white onion, thickly sliced
4 cloves of garlic, coarsely chopped
1/4 cup of lite soy sauce
2 Tablespoons of worcestershire sauce
1/4 - 1/2 cup of water
Black pepper to taste

Cube the steaks and place on the bottom of the large stack cooker bowl. Cover with onions, garlic and all liquids. Top with a sprinkling of black pepper. Cover and place in the microwave. I cooked mine for 20-25 minutes in my 1250 watt microwave. I stopped at 20 minutes to check how well the  meat was done. I could've stopped there, but wanted to make sure it was cooked thoroughly so I put it back in for another 2 minutes and let it stand in the microwave for about 10 minutes to let it continue cooking in its own steam. 

The results were fantastic. Mind you, my husband asked me what I was making and I had NO CLUE. I just threw the ingredients in the pot and hoped it would come out ok. LOL. The onions were perfectly done and the meat, though just a LITTLE tough (thus cube into smaller bite sized pieces), it tasted great! I must mention that while this was cooking my house smelled so good that waiting 20 minutes felt like forever.

Lastly, I made chicken breast for my lunch tomorrow. I overcooked it a little. But it still came out ok. I used Pampered Chef's southwestern seasoning only and nothing else. I cut the chicken into strips and forgot my microwave is 1250 and should have cooked it for maybe 4 minutes but did the traditional 6 minutes (intended for a 900 watt microwave). The chicken came out with a nice flavor but just a little dry. My fault. Still edible :)

I really wanted to make it lemon pepper but we were out of lemons. So, I kept it simple and it turned out ok.

Below are pictures of my stack cooker. It comes with a steamer insert so you can steam veggies EVEN FISH! It also comes with an insert that fits in the large deep bowl for making cakes.  Yes, you can make cakes in the microwave using the stack cooker. I haven't tried it yet, but will very soon! You can click on each image to enlarge.  Thanks for reading!
