EPICURE SELECTIONS INTRODUCTION

I am really excited about this new adventure I'm undertaking.... I have started my own business as an Independent Epicure Consultant. I've loved their products for years and have finally decided that this is my time to spread my love! It's amazing how much I've learned about these products in the last couple of weeks and I really am excited to expand my tasting even further!!

Some Interesting Facts:

• 100% nut-free
• 100% gluten-free
• No MSG added
• A large selection of low- or no- sodium options (see below)
• Enrolled in the No-GMO Project
• Inexpensive. I found this the most surprising. Almost all of the seasonings are between $7-11. That is comparable to what you would find on a grocery shelf with the added bonus of being healthy and delicious. 
• There are a TON of recipes online to help guide you when using your new products. 
• Company was first started by a woman looking to provide her family with meals that not only taste good but are also healthy. The company is still a family-run business (nice that it hasn't been taken over by a large corporation)
• It is easy to become an Independent Consultant as well, and enjoy the benefits of such a great line of seasonings, cookware, and more! 

Epicure has many products that are low in sodium as well as a few that have zero sodium. When I first starting selling Epicure, this was one of the things that I was extremely excited about. Here are a few examples:

• Taco Seasoning: 2 tsp prepared has 20mg sodium vs. store-bought product of 260mg 
• Fajita Seasoning: 2 tsp prepared has 10mg sodium vs. store-bought product of 370mg 
• Nacho Cheese Dip: 2 tbsp prepared has 85mg sodium vs. store-bought product of 290mg 
• Marinara Sauce Mix: 1/2 cup prepared has 2mg sodium vs. store-bought product of 500mg
• Beef Bouillon Base: 1 cup prepared has 60mg sodium vs. store-bought product of 1,300mg
• Vegetable Bouillon Base: 1 cup prepared has 40mg sodium vs. store-bought product of 970mg
• Chicken Bouillon Base:1 cup prepared has 100mg sodium vs. store-bought product of 1,130mg

WOW. Those numbers are HUGE. People who are requiring to be on a low- sodium diet (let's be  honest, we all could use less sodium in our diets) have so many great options to still eat great-tasting meals. I think this is what I am the most excited about. 

So... On this note. As I start cooking with these products even more and trying them out, I will post my recipes and results on here as well. (When I initially started this Recipe Blog, I didn't think I would start on this adventure of selling Epicure Selections; however, the two sort of jive nicely together!)

Disclaimer: As a pharmacist it is engrained in me to tell the truth and to provide facts that are as unbiased as possible. So I will continue to hold true to myself and to you about what is delicious and what is not!!
