Scallops in a Lemon Vinaigrette

Sometimes I see recipes that I would love to make, but are afraid that I will "screw them up" because I think they are too "delicate" for me to make.
If you are like me (ok like I use to be) you need to pick up a Tupperware Smart Steamer. You could be the star of the next seafood dinner at your house ... 
yes at YOUR HOUSE.  
Look at these scallops.  Perfection.

Ingredients:

• 1 lb./455 g medium sea scallops
• ¼ tsp. coarse kosher salt
• ¼ tsp. black pepper
• 1 lb./455 g fresh asparagus
• 1 lemon, zested and juiced 
•        using Zest ’N Press® Gadget
• 2 tbsp. extra virgin olive oil
• 2 tsp. fresh dill, chopped
• 1 tbsp. fresh chives, chopped

Instructions:

Place scallops in the Colander Tray and sprinkle with half the salt and pepper.

Place asparagus in the Steamer Base. 
Fill the Water Tray with 1¾ cups/400 mL water. 
Place Colander Tray on top of Steamer Base, Steamer Base on top of Water Tray and cover. 
Microwave on high power for 8 minutes.

Meanwhile, in a small bowl, whisk the remaining ingredients together.  

Serve scallops and asparagus drizzled with Vinaigrette. 

Serve with white or brown rice.

Stand out from the crowd

I have always told my children that they need to be their own individual.  
Sometimes that can mean that you are just like everyone else, and that can be ok.  
But then there are many times it means that you will stand out because you are different. Yes that can be very very scary.

But THAT can be even better.

YOU can be the influence for good or greatness in the world.  
But you need to be yourself and shine.

What do you think?
Are you willing to be an influencer?

Just be Incredible

This one just fits in with some of the things that I've "discovered" about myself since I joined Tupperware.  
No this isn't a plug for my Tupperware business, although it is a wonderful business to be in with awesome products and people. 

It is something that just mirrors the teachings/information that has come from our USA/Canada president.

This is just how we feel.

Sometimes I think that people will not reach their full potential, will be looking back on their life and think I should have, I would have ... if only.  

Stop worrying about what others think.  
Stop worrying about what others will judge as "the" thing to do.

Do what you love.
And everything else will fall into place

Because you ARE possible,
You ARE incredible!

Thank you Stein Ove Fenne,
President USA/Canada, Tupperware Brands 

Flip Flop Cake

Its almost Summer Time.  

*YES* those cold winter days 

will be but a memory. 

What says summer and the return of warmer weather better than Flip Flops!
I LOVE my Flip Flops and know I would live in them all year round if I could.

Now if you had the Tupperware Breakfast Maker, you could be making this cake for a party or even just because today.

I bet kids and kids at heart would love to have this for a Summer Party in your yard or deck. I know I would.

Don't have one?
Check out my Tupperware Site or Jump onto my current online party and pick yours up today.  

While you are there, see what else we have that is may be new to you. 
Remember we are so much more than your Mama's Tupperware.

The Every Year Calendar

 I received a copy of the Every Year Calendar to facilitate my review.  I received no further compensation for my honest review.

I seem to have a problem with calendars.  
I use them for all kinds of things; birthdays, anniversaries, appointments.

But always seem to have lots of "blanks".  

It is in those blanks that I wish I had room to write my feelings about what is going on, kind of like a journal.  

But of course most calendars have tiny spaces to write so thoughts and feelings are out the window.

That is until now.  One of the reasons I think that The Every Year Calendar is great is because it doesn't have a preset date on its pages.  AND has enough room to actually write something.

I am thinking that this would be perfect for all kinds of people.  Yes it would be great for an adult or an entrepreneur - to keep track of all your appointments but to also keep track of your notes about those meetings.  You could use a different page for each appointment.

There are inspirational quotes and questions to get you started making each day special.  

Or to help you bring out your thoughts and feelings on a days happenings.

Or start setting your goals and helping to get them accomplished through organizing your thoughts on the page.


Another great idea is to have a book for each stage of your life. 
What a great place to record their feelings as they go from middle school to high school.  
Or high school to college.  
Or college to that first job.

You could even use this as a writing tool. They have goal setting worksheets that would be great to "get the ball rolling".

I can see this as a great gift to give for every milestone, especially since each book is delivered to you wrapped to make it special right from the opening of the box.

Oh and if what you want is something to "test drive" this with, they have a "teaser" size that is 4 months instead of 12 using the Inspire theme.  Since its not dated, you can use it now or next week or next month because YOU set the dates on the page.  
YOU get to decide how you use this calendar.

Check out The Every Year Calendar and get yours today.  You can start right away - a great start to the summer.  

You won't be disappointed.

Now if you will excuse me, I'm going to go record how I did with my daily intentions and note how things have gone recently with my goals.
