There were many vendors at the First Annual Gift Bazaar at Paschal High School Dec. 10th but one stood out among many.
Tastefully Simple Gourmet Food, which had samples among some other sellers.

I don't know what I tasted but I know it melted in my mouth and I wanted more.

So I got more.

The company's motto is "The food you love, the time you deserve" and they are based in Minnesota but their independent contractors live all over the country.

The company sells their items through food-tasting parties and in a fun, social setting guests have the chance to try appetizers, sample main courses, and desserts.

An 83-year-old grandma who got in to the business through her daughter and who had doubts about whether she could make the simple dishes was easily able to whip up dips, bread, soup, and desserts with little effort.

One of the more popular items is Bountiful Banana Bread. That kind of bread is one of my mom's specialties.

Another favorite is Watermelon Bread.

People from all walks of life and age groups have been very successful, according to the company's website.

When the company was founded in 1995 a catalog of privately labeled spices, soups, mixes, and sauces was established.

Simple recipes such as Honey Teriyaki Mandarin Orange Chicken can be found among the company's offerings.

Founder Jill Blashack says, "We started out in a shed with no running water."

The company also does community giving by preserving the environment and fostering the arts. Even the kids get involved.

In 2004 Tastefully Simple donated over $675,000 in cash donations to non-profits.

Some of the charities they have helped include Habitat for Humanity, Listening Ear Crisis Center, Douglas County Hospice, Heart of Lakes United Way, Alexandria Jaycees/Jingle Bells, and others.

Women Using Book To Help People and Animals

By Terri Rimmer Donations from the profits of a new book are going to help people with AIDS (Acquired Immune Deficiency Syndrome) and their pets. Following last year’s election, Cathy Conheim and her partner Dr. Donna Brooks were driving to their home, feeling discouraged about current events. There were “dog people” but when they arrived home they discovered a three-month-old kitten living on their property that had been injured badly. Off to the vet they sped with their young charge. An amputation was necessary to save the kitten’s life and they were told that he could no longer be an outdoor cat. They ended up adopting “Henry” and there ensued an incredible journey. Conheim started writing about the cat’s adventures as much for her own healing regarding some bad news politically as for anything else. She sent them to 20 people who sent them on, and today, Henry The Cat has 2,300 emails in ”his” letterbox in the sky. “My cat, Rhett Butler became one of Henry’s teachers and correspond...

Nature Organization Helps With Katrina Effort

By Terri Rimmer Recently 14 Nature Conservancy staff and two volunteers helped out in Mississippi with Hurricane Katrina relief. The country’s wildland fire management resources were mobilized to help with the government’s response. Although their hurricane-related duties didn’t have anything to do with flames their training lent itself well. During the stay in Hattiesburg, MS the team from the Nature Conservancy was able to have housing, transportation, meals, and other needs met. Within the organization the help was orchestrated by Paula Seamon and Sam Lindblom of the agency’s Global Fire Initiative. The team was involved in a variety of activities from clearing timber to helping evacuees. The Initiative helps teach people how fire can be useful and how it can be destructive. According to a press release from nature.org, the Conservancy’s website, the agency and partners have proposed renewed coastal conservation in the wake of Hurricane Katrina. A September release also stated that ...

Making Subsidies Accountable

By Terri Rimmer An award winner and author founded Good Jobs First back in 1998. Greg LeRoy, who wrote No More Candy Store: States and Cities Making Jobs Subsidies Accountable and winner of the 1998 Public Interest Pioneer Award of the Stern Family Fund, has made his organization a national leader. Good Jobs First frequently testifies before state legislatures, conducts workshops and training, and appears in the press. Good Jobs first says that the failure of large companies such as Wal-Mart to provide affordable and comprehensive health coverage to many of their employees has been a subject of growing controversy – all the more so because large numbers of those workers not insured on the job are turning instead to government programs such as Medicaid and the State Children’s Health Insurance Program (CHIP). According to their website, goodjobsfirst.org, Wal-Mart has received more than $1 billion in economic development subsidies from state and local governments across the country. The...
