Fundraising with Epicure

FUNDRAISE with EPICURE SELECTIONS' Famous Cheese Dip 

Epicure's top-quality Extraordinary Cheese Dip Fundraiser offers your organization a unique fundraising opportunity.

Did you know that most Canadians consume fewer than the 5 recommended daily servings each of fruits and vegetables? Delicious dips are a great way to tempt adults and kids alike to get their fruit and veg!

Your group has the opportunity to sell a top-quality product and offer people something easy, healthy and different. So, dip in!

The Extraordinary Cheese Dip Fundraiser contains three delicious dip mixes, which when combined together make the Cheese Dip. They are attractively packaged in a Velcro® seal bag with a full-colour recipe booklet for ideas on how to use the dip mixes individually as well.

Epicure's Extraordinary Cheese Dip Fundraisers are sold for $20.00 each. The cost to your organization is $15.00 each. Your organization receives $5.00 for every Fundraiser sold! Here is a success story from a recent fundraiser:

"We had a Grade 8 class participate in the fundraiser and, in two-weeks, they sold 200 Fundraisers and made $1,000 for their class graduation party. The parents and teachers were pleased to have something to sell that was unique and healthy!? "

Please email me for more information on how to get started! I am located in Windsor, ON but serve all of Canada :)

Epicure Selections

A few weeks ago someone from Epicure Selections contacted me and asked if I'd like to join their team of consultant.   I jumped at the chance!   Epicure Selections is a Canadian, family owned and women run company based in my favourite city Victoria, BC!  They carry a wide variety of herb and dip mixes, spices, jellies, salts, baking stuff (chocolate, baking powder, dried fruit, etc), tea, cookware, etc. Definitely worth checking out!


They have so many different spice/herb blends.  I love adding them to pasta and vegetables. And their dip mixes are extremely addictive.  I've actually been using the Cheese Chives & Bacon Dip Mix in pasta and scrambled eggs too though (they use fake bacon) and some Red Garlic Sansel on roasted vegetables mmm.

My favourite thing about the Epicure Selections products is that they can instantly make an otherwise okay meal into something much yummier. It's so awesome to have these products on hand for when I'm feeling tired on a weeknight and want something easy but tasty. And a lot of their mixes don't contain salt (though some do so if this is something you're concerned about I'm sure you could contact them and ask). They also kindly sent me their cookbook but there are lots of recipes on their website too that give you ideas for how to use their products.

Extraordinary Cheese Dip

If you're Canadian, and you've ever been to an Epicure party, you've probably tried this hot dip. Since becoming an Epicure consultant myself, I've made this dip a lot... and it rarely leaves the house, hehe.  The blend of cheese and herbs in all it's melty goodness is irresistible.  Here's the smaller version that I make, that is only slightly different from the original.


 Extraordinary Cheese Dip


Extraordinary Cheese Dip
Adapted from Epicure Selections

1/2 block (1/2 cup) cream cheese - softened, regular or light
1/4 cup sour cream, regular or light
1/4 cup mayo, regular or light
1/4 cup grated sharp or old cheddar cheese
1/4 cup grated mozzarella
1/2 tsp Epicure's Seasoning for Cheese, Chives & Bacon Dip
1/2 tsp Epicure's Lemon Dilly Dip Mix
1/2 tsp Epicure's 3 Onion Dip Mix

Mix all ingredients together well, by hand or in a food processor.  Scrape into a small oven-proof dish like Epicure's mini baker, and bake in a preheated 350 degree oven for 20 minutes.

If you are outside of Canada, I'm sorry for the tease.  Perhaps a trip north this summer is in order?

Enjoy!  (and feel free to contact me any time if you have any questions about ordering Epicure products, hosting a tasting party or becoming a consultant yourself, I'd love to have you on my team!)
