Chicken salad

One of the things that I love about my Thrive parties is the chicken salad! I, personally, LOVE chicken salad. My husband spoils me, by cooking the chicken with seasoning salt, and pepper. Then he mixes it with avocado, and fresh cilantro. I. Love. Chicken. Salad. Before going gluten-free, I'd put it on a torta roll from Costco, and I'd broil it, and it would be just right!! But even without the roll, this is still one of my favorite things to eat. But it is also time consuming, as you can imagine (defrosting chicken, cutting, cooking...). Thrive has worked it all out so I can have it at least once a week. Heaven I tell you. Pure heaven!

I recently discovered this wonderful stuff at Costco. I highly recommend it, especially for those who have food allergies! I now make my salads with this, and my jar has gone pretty quick! But it's great stuff! The best part of chicken salad, is that you can make your own creation. With Thrive's Seasoned chicken, it's easy, quick and good for you!

Ingredients:
1 cup Thrive seasoned chicken rehydrated - lightly cooked with seasoning salt (use a little oil to keep from sticking, we use cast iron and it doesn't stick) found here
2 T Thrive onion, not rehydrated Found here
mayo, mustard to taste
2 T fresh cilantro
1 avocado cut into pieces
Salt and pepper to taste

Mix well. Allow to sit in fridge until cooled off. Serve with crackers, on green salad, roll, or all by itself!

Ziplock bag omelets

My husband's Uncle Dean had come up with this idea of cooking omelets in a Ziplock bag. A few years ago while camping with my own family, we did this as our turn for breakfast one morning. We bought 5 dozen eggs, and we used all but a dozen! Mark and I spent almost an hour cutting and cooking bacon, onions, sausage, and cheese. But it was a hit! And everyone over estimated how much they had put in their bag, so really we only needed about 2 dozen eggs (2 per person, 3 or 4 for the big guys).

 When I had hosted my first Thrive party, someone asked me about the scrambled eggs. I hadn't tried them, nor given much thought to them. But here we are, Labor day approaching, and we are getting ready for a family campout. The thought came to me, I wonder if I could do the same thing, but using all Thrive products... I LOVED IT!! It took me about 5 minutes, from start to end, and I had an amazing omelet!! No time cooking and cutting everything to go in it. So needless to say, we are taking these babies with us camping (and my husband will love being able to make such an awesome breakfast for himself in less than 10 minutes in the morning).

 Ingredients:
4 T Thrive scrambled Egg powder - equals 2 eggs
7 T water
1 T Thrive sausage
1 teas Thrive onion
Salt and pepper to taste
Optional:
Thrive mushrooms
Thrive tomato's
Thrive bacon
Thrive cheese

Directions:

1. Bring to boil a 2 quart pan (or bigger). Have enough water in pan to full submerge bag. Be careful to not let the bag touch the sides of the pan, as it can melt it.
2. Mix Thrive egg powder and water in Ziplock back and mix well.
3. Add additional ingredients (if using optional items, add an extra  teaspoon of water). Mix
4. Seal bag and add to boiling water for 3-5 minutes. Pull out of water and it will slide right out!

My 3 year old approved! This is going to be a favorite at our house!
