Zucchini Bread with Tastefully Simple Beer Bread Mix

I decided to make some zucchini bread today since I have been having problems getting my 6 year old little girl to eat green vegetables.  I used Tastefully Simple's beer bread mix and added 12 oz of 7up and 1 1/2 cups of shredded zucchini.  I baked it at 375 for 55-60 min.  It was delicious! Everyone loved it, including little Ava, AND she got her veggies!!

Winner of the Very Cherry Cheeseball!

Congratulations to Jennifer Snyder!  She won the Very Cherry Cheeseball with her entry asking me about my business!

Jennifer's question was:  "How do you get people to buy in such a bad economy?"  The answer is:

In my four years of selling, I have never felt the need to persuade people to purchase Tastefully Simple's products.  Our product is food, which is not a luxury item; therefore, an economic downturn usually does not affect the sale of our product.   Being that our product is consumable, the rate of reorders is much higher so that helps with repeat sales as well :-)  

Thanks for the question, Jennifer and enjoy your win!!
