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 :)

Bolognese Sauce - Epicure Selections

Bolognese Sauce - Epicure Selections


Tonight's Supper was a thick, rich Bolognese Sauce made with spices that I received from Epicure Selections.  I was so excited when I received a box of their products.  It was like Christmas in June.

Epicure Selections is a company based in Victoria on Vancouver Island.  I love buying and supporting Canadian products.  The Founder & President, Sylvie Rochette, is originally from Québec.  This working mother started creating her own spice blends to offer Canadian families a way to prepare quick, healthy, delicious meals after a long day at work. Soon her products where in high demand and she did founded Epicure Selections.  The company was recently awarded Business of the Year by the Victoria Chamber of Commerce.  This shows that when you have dedication, commitment and work hard you can fulfill your dreams.  What an example to follow.  I love stories of successful woman.

Epicure Selections offers not only spices but also dip, salsa, salad dressing mixes, peppers, jellies, chocolate, popcorn seasonings, cookware, recipe books just to name a few.  You can go to their website and browse their beautiful catalogue.

They even have a great section when you have access to a ton of recipes that featured their products.

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.
