What made you want to become involved in Pampered Chef?
I have been a Pampered Chef user for years, attending many parties. I am a firm believer in the product and I love all of the products I have. The last party I was involved in I started to wonder if this was something I would be able to do. So I called the person running the party and asked a bunch of questions, and liked what I heard. I still pondered it for a few days, and kept coming back to “I know I can do this.” My personality is one that seconds guesses myself if left too long to think. However, I called her right away and said YES I WILL DO IT! Signed up and I am so happy I did.
Also I found that I was becoming more of a recluse, wanting to stay home rather than socialize! Doing some soul searching I knew I needed to connect with people again. I thought this would be a perfect way to reacquaint myself with old friends while creating new friendships!

What is the one Pampered Chef product you can’t live without?
Hmmm….. that is a difficult one for me! I love everything I use! I would have to say it would be my garlic press! Best tool out there if you cook a lot with garlic. The Garlic Press lets you enjoy the flavor of fresh garlic without the hard work of mincing (your hands don’t smell like garlic for days either). It lets you press fresh cloves of garlic—even the really big ones—without peeling them first. It even comes with a handy little cleaning brush to remove all the minced bits, so you never have to touch it. Some other things you can use it for is to mince ginger and horseradish, so you get fantastic flavour in every bite.
