Save garden waste and loose weight

Throw all the veggies left over from your garden or your neighbor's garden into a crockpot with some garlic and onion and bouillon. Set the crockpot on low and 12-14 hours later take out one of those hand blenders and blend the veggies into oblivion. Soup should be green and slightly seedy. Add spike or salt to taste and pour into a cup. Drink that all day. At the end of day take the leftovers from the crockpot (or take crock out of warmer) and put into the fridge. Next morning, put back into crockpot, set on warm, and treat yourself to soup all day. I do this during the week when I work at home. I use all the veggies, I loose weight, eat my fair share of veggies, and feel great! Kim Power Stilson www.powerstrategies.TV

Ice Cream Sandwich Cake

Don't feel like cooking? Make an ice cream sandwich birthday cake. 9 ice cream sandwiches, 1 tub choc frosting, candles. Layer unwrapped sandwiches cross ways in stack of 3 with frosting between layers 3 layers high – 3 across. Cover with frosting put in freezer for 2o minutes, take out, add candle and serve!! See the video of this on Planetary Snack TV at www.planetarystreams.com. Love love love Kim Power Stilson

How I fell in Love

I am guest blogging for Kim today! Hope you enjoy - Debbie Cluff

I have to say that I have never really been impressed by dogs. Growing up, the oldest of 10, we have a fair share of animals running in and out of the house. Most of them came to their doom when my dad (Seeing that all 10 of his children were not responsible and/or selfish) would find some place for them to go (we still wonder if he really took the baby hamsters to the Chinese Restaurant down the street). So with this mentality I never bonded with dogs and thought they were just big mess makers (Especially when you tried to step in a backyard of a dog owners house. I remember last year when our neighbors got a dog and my 4 year old stepped in the dog poop, walked into our house, and then stepped on my expensive oriental area rug smearing the mess everywhere). So dogs just put a bad taste in my mouth...

That is until I met Sam, he is an Irish wolfhound and I have to confess, I think I have fallen in love. He is a giant dog, just huge, and I met him last week. He just came right up to me and bowed at my feet... then he started to lick my toes. He is SO tall that my Emma, who is 2, can walk right under him. He has such a good personality and I can see now how people can fall in love with their animals. I don't own him, just think about him and his long tongue and stingy hair. There are also these adorable Irish Wolfhound babies, that I think I am going to have to have. There is a runt with a way-ward eye, oh my, all my will was holding me back from scooping up that puppy and taking it home right away. I am such a sucker for adorable animals! We did eventually have to leave my new found loves, so I went home and looked everything I could up on the internet. I have already mapped areas out in my backyard to see if we could get one… and the odds are for us!

Now my entire aspect of dogs has changed. I think I have always secretly been a dog person waiting for the right dog to show me what I have been missing. So to all those anti-dog bloggers beware, if you every meet Sam or his nephews you are in trouble of falling in love.

Ice Cream Sandwich Birthday Cake

It was my friend Kerrie's birthday, well the celebration day anyway, and she was coming into town. I wanted to make her a gooey chocolate cake but it was tooooo hot to turn on the oven. I found ice cream sandwiches in the freezer, from a camping trip with Kristen and family, and thought AHA! I grabbed fudge frosting, frosted 3 across, then the other way three across for a total of 4 layers or 12 sandwiches in a square. Frosted the entire thing and then froze for twenty minutes, stuck a birthday candle in and wa la! Ice cream birthday cake! See my daughter and her friend doing the video on www.planetarystreams.com, Snack TV, HOW TO make a birthday cake in 2 minutes or less! Kim Power Stilson

Appreciate Knowing What You Don’t Know

Today, it is too hot for soup, but I have lots of appreciation. After a week of trauma, puppy deaths, kids out for summer, on and on, I accomplished something I am proud of. Many of my friends, my family, my clients needed to know something they didn't know, and I helped them with that. The news is below, but I am so happy to have accomplished something grand despite all the demands and tools life takes of us. I hope this Internet, Web and Online Social Communications Guide will help people successfully compete online. I know it helped me, and I know I needed to know what I did not!

 

The world is out there filled with people who like to define us as humans, I can only really attempt to define myself. I needed to know this and know I know what I know but there is more to learn, more to know, more to come. I hope someone out there agrees but you know it does not really matter. As long as I am happy and those I care about our happy.

 

To the ten friends so far who have learned something, and love it, thank you! This is a landmark day for me, one I hope my kids, my dogs, birds, cats, siblings and friends will smile about. Join with me in celebrating the news below! It is about time, don't you think? Kim Power Stilson

"Life online is easier! I'm positive they invented the Internet and World Wide Web for busy women," says Kim. "Everything I need to do, purchase, sell and find is all online! How convenient is that? I wanted everyone to know how to use the offerings and tool available online!"

 

According to Debbie Cluff, mother of three and master educator, founder of Links for Learning, having an online tutoring business inspired her to help women and parents find a comfortable way to use online tools to their advantage. She sees that working, playing and learning online brings convenience and success and most moms, parents and people need that benefit.

 

"We could totally see us on the Ellen Show helping all the women in the world learn how to blog, ping, pod, etc., and we loved the idea of women using this knowledge to get better jobs, work from home, and succeed online," said Debbie. "As an educator I thought it would be fun to teach something everyone wants and needs to learn!"

No Soup Tonight!

I released the new book, see below, and . . . and . . . I made chicken stir fry. Seemed like a night to celebrate!

 

FOR IMMEDIATE RELEASE

 

Kim Power Stilson Launches 24 Hours to Zero Down Marketing Strategy Guide for Companies Who Want to Succeed!

 

June 13, 2008, 2008—Salt Lake City, UT & Dunmore East, Ireland – Kim Power Stilson, announced today, the release of her new marketing strategy training guide and workbook, 24 Hours to Zero Down Marketing Strategy Guide and Workbook. This guide is available online and in a social media education training package on www.powerstratgies.TV.

 

As soon as they found out she had her own marketing company, people would ask Kim for suggestions on how to spread the word about their product/services. Based on a success-proven strategy, Make, Bake, Shake, Rake & Fresh, created with 17 years of marketing success, Kim would suggest first creating a strategy or plan based on goals and then applying regular efforts to achieve name awareness and sales success.

 

Most small companies could not afford her or other marketing professionals consultation fees ($30,000 strategy creation fee and monthly service fee $5 -10,000 per month) but they still needed the help and she wanted to assist them because she believes that marketing or not marketing a product/service makes the difference between success and failure. She was inspired to write this step-by-step guide and which gave the power back to the company owners with marketing knowledge at a budget-

worthy cost.

 

"Once you have a plan, a strategy and you know what you need to do then you run out of excuses to not take the time to market and sell," said Kim Power Stilson. "With each marketing effort company owners gain a little more success. With consistent efforts like even 24 hours a month focused on marketing, they will see real results in the areas of increased name awareness and sales."

 

According to Kim Power Stilson, this is a great strategy guide for business owners and employees who want to impress their boss by helping their company increase their chances for sales. "You may have a great product but if consumers don't know about it they can't buy it," said Power Stilson. "Online and traditional Marketing is an essential component to business success. Entrepreneurs and small business sometimes overlook marketing because they don't have the resources to hire someone and most don't have the time to do it themselves. Now they can be doing effective marketing in just 24 Hours for a fraction of the cost."

 

To make marketing affordable, Power Strategies offers a "Monthly Marketing Service – 24 Hours" style to help companies keep marketing once they have a strategy. The service includes Live chat, Social Media, Internet, PR 2.0 and Web 3.0 & Marketing instruction, tips, templates & advice from Social Media & Marketing Strategist Kim Power Stilson. (Prices range from $240 per month to a discounted cost for women, small-business owners and single parents of $24 per month.)

 

24 Hours to Zero Down Marketing Strategy Guide & Workbook is offered in an online PDF version, as well as, a robust video, audio, Internet, Web, Social Media & Marketing certified education course. (Prices range from $240 - $2400 with certification.) For Free Media trial contact: Jack Brian or Anne Roberts Jack@powerstrategies.TV or anne@powerstrategies.com or 801-473-9174.

Snowing Again and it’s June

Most of my blogs this year have been all about recipes for snowy cold days, so I find it odd that I am still writing about snow in JUNE! Last night I had my 11 year old put frozen burritos in a cake pan with enchilada sauce and green beans and bake for 45 minutes on 375. That was dinner all warm yummy and in the same pan! Today I think I will make soup! Watch my How to Make Dinner in 2 minutes Planetary Streams Snack TV on www.planetarystreams.com for your soup recipe! And, let the sun in please! Kim Power Stilson

8 Irish Wolfhound Puppies

Daisy had 8 Irish Wolfhound Puppies this weekend! Yay! I helped whelp them all and am exhausted. I could blame being an overwhelmed hard-working mother of 4 dogs, (now 12) 3 kids, 2 birds and a cat for one of the reasons I wasn't up on terms like Social Media, Live Web, and Widgets but there are a few women with the same description above perhaps with a few less pets who make millions of dollars every year knowing all the above. That's right millions.

The Internet and the World Wide Web are not some deep dark mysterious secret that you need a key or a brilliant brain to unlock, though some of the articles you have seen may seem to be written in another language, it's simply a lot of new information and new information when you already have a lot on your plate can be overwhelming.

If you secretly wonder what a blog is then you are not alone. My good friend Kristen Lamb, co-founder of Planetary Streams International, a Social Media and Marketing company likes to say, "You don't know what you don't know!" Like my grandma and the microwave, her grandma and the TV and me and my iPod, we won't know until we ask for help. People brave enough to admit they have no idea what a blog or ping or any of the above in the title are the ones who get to reap the rewards.

I wanted the answers and needed the resources so I started asking questions. I discovered that some people understood it all and some understood it very little. The ones who knew it all often lacked the patience or the time to explain in a way I could understand. Overall, I gave and got more blank stares than an entire class room of Algebra students before I finally just decided to figure it out myself. That's when I decided to talk to the best teacher I know, Debbie Cluff. She is truly a "zany" little lady and a master educator, born and raised in Pasadena, California, who seems to have a knack for turning the complex into an elementary

No Soup for You!

I know no one likes people to post press releases in blogs, yet these guys are my friends and I am more than happy to share the good news because I appreciate them. Besides you didn't feel like soup today anyway did you? So, slurp this up! Love Kim Power Stilson

I’m sick of Soup!

It snowed again! It is May for Pete's sake! I do love my family. I love Chad, Maddy, McKall, Merrick, Daisy, Sam, Dublin, Little Anne and Oliver. I love my mom and dad and all my sisters and brothers and their kids. I appreciate all of them and all my friends. I love love love you all! How is that for Appreciation soup? www.kpowerstrategies.TV and www.planetarystreams.com

I thought it was over!

Unbelievable. I put my winter clothes away for the third time and "ta do" like magic it snows. I woke up to see my fresh green leave and budding lilacs drooping over with almost an inch of heavy white icey frosting. SNOW! I checked my calendar? It's May! To get my kids off to school I had to dig through the storage boxes for the usual boots and gloves. Nice! Will I ever get to enjoy the Iris or the Lilacs I usually see in April – will they skip blooming all together and shrivel in summer's heat? Okay, I know I am complaining but really! Snow?!?!?!?

Today I am throwing a can of spiced tomatoes, cilantro and a can of kidney beans in the Crockpot. Yummy tomato soup with a little protein! Really so thankful for the moisture but soup needed to fight off the winter cold in MAY???!

Soup to Smoothie

Good Morning! Finally spring has sprung! I love saying that and even better writing it. Today on Planetary Streams I have a new soup recipe for you and a little "How To" PV Snack TV spot that shows you. In the meantime, how about a morning smoothie recipe? 1 cup frozen fruit, 2 big spoons of yogurt, ice, juice, water and swirl! Sometimes I through in some protein shake mix for thickness! Yum! So glad it is finally smoothie weather! Meaning the ice is only inside my glass instead of plastering my garden!

No soup for you

I watched that on Seinfeld the other night! Wasn't that hilarious! I feel like being the soup guy to my kids sometimes. Yikes. So, snow is melting and I put huge buckets under the roof eaves in honor of Green Day week and my good friend Kerrie Goodell!

Snowing Again get the Crockpot out!

Seriously after putting my winter clothes away this weekend – for the third or fourth time – I had to find winter snow shows and sweater this morning when I woke up over and inch of snow and white stuff raining down like a sheet! Yes. So get out your crock pots girl! Today's soup is veggie. We need to eat more right! Just get out chicken broth, a couple of bags of frozen veggies, a can of diced tomatoes and seasoning salt, throw them all in and set for low! Before you serve stir in something creamy like yogurt or milk and blend so the veggies are unrecognizable! Serve with sea salt and grilled something sandwiches! For more ideas please watch my "How to Make Dinner in 2 minutes or less" on Planetary Vision Snack TV at www.planetarystreams.com. Sometimes watching someone do it visually is easier!

Hearty for the soul and Lovely to taste

Thank you thank you! I'm so grateful to the mix of people who have helped me succeed! New yet somehow old friend (in the youngest looking sense of the word) Kristen & Rob Lamb, Kerrie Goodell, Debbie & Tyler Cluff! Old friends like John Jacob and Mark Crockett Brent Sims and Dina Olsen! And my forever friend, my husband Chad Stilson and our kids! This soup is definitely lovely to taste and hearty for the soul. See below!

Almost finished with my "24 Hours to Zero Down Marketing" strategy guide. Imagine I finished the last of it with kids in the house during spring break! I have sent it by a few people and the love it! I really hope it helps small businesses and entrepreneurs quickly put together a viable strategy that allows them the focus on marketing that every business needs. I threw in a little about getting TV and Radio for their website of course from Planetary Streams. KPower Strategies is my company, Planetary Streams is my best "friendeses" company – my best girlfriend and her husband and my best husband own it and well it provides as awesome resource for website communication!-Happy Day for me! Love checking major items off of my "To Do" list. This has been on that list quite a while. People have been asking for it for years. Well here you go . . . look for it to be up on ready on the May 1

No Snow Soup

It's spring break, my kid's are all running around, my advice for today? Open a can of Campbell's and take a nap or read a book! Love you Bluebird Sisters!

More Snow, More Soup

April 15^th Tax day and snow. How unfair is that? Okay, I know you feel broke and cold but things will get better. Try this lovely, yummy and warm basil tomato soup recipe with grilled cheese for you family tonight!

 

2-4 cans condensed tomato soup cans

Fresh basil or spice jar

Tsp Olive Oil

1 can diced chilies

1 splash of cooking sherry

Sea salt and seasoning salt

Cook to boil then simmer, add cheese and cream, serve! YUM

Not spring yet soup!

Not only do I work full-time, my family expects me to feed them too. Whenever I make this I get tons of compliments and the teenage boys seem to stop by for a snack. Well, yes I do have a 14 year old daughter, could be that or could be my cooking – they sure eat more that they talk!

Okay, this is the most cost-effective and nutritious way to feed teenage boys! I promise Kim Power Stilson

You need a crockpot . . .

1 can of each . . .

Baked beans

Kidney beans

Garbanzo beans

Black Beans

White beans

Enchilada sauce

Green diced chilies (if you want less spicy skip or do half can)

Cream corn

Green beans

Diced tomatoes

 

Throw all of the above into Crockpot and then set for low or high depending on how long you will be gone. Serve with sour cream, low fat yogurt, and /or shredded cheese and diced green onion and cilantro. If you have the time try corn bread – watch for that recipe next – mine is easiest and better than Aunt Maries! You can see me do this in a Two Minute Snack TV video on www.planetarystreams.com

No soup today!

Man with all the snow we have we have eaten through our year's supply of soup and fast food has become a thing of the past. I think I will have a sandwich today, or better yet a nice crisp salad. How's that for celebrating spring?

St Paddy’s Potato Soup in two minutes or less

A little more snow means a little more soup. I make this for St. Patrick's Day and add a little green food coloring to make the kid's happy!

2 bags frozen Potato O'Brien hash browns. A can or two of chicken broth depending on the size of your crockpot. One can cream of mushroom soup and one can cream of chicken or celery. Add some onion flakes and salt. Turn your crockpot on low or high depending on how long you will be away and then before you serve add some green food coloring (go for bright emerald) add cream or milk, cheese, chopped onions and serve the yummiest potato soup around to celebrate the wearin o the green. Your tongue will be green too! Like I said all kids will love this. To see my video of how to do this in two minutes or less get Planetary Vision and watch at www.planetarystreams.com. It is in one of the PV Snack TV "How To's"

Soup and Snow that is always white

I know we appreciate the moisture, and are grateful for it once the floods of spring have turned to lush green fields and vibrant wild flowers yet there is a lot of it and it is always white. Sometimes to be sure it is sparkling and dazzling like diamonds and sometimes it captures the grey blue reflection of the winter sky and once in a while it is stained yellow from a passing dog -- still it is white, white, white, white!

Is there a reason that our world must turn white in the winter? Have you seen the shades of green God has given us? (My heart is in Ireland and I can assure you part of the reason is the million shades of green.) Why is white, white? I don't mean off white or cream variances -- I mean white is just that white. But then through the clouds and snow the sun shows itself and hands out a ray of sun, showing us the rainbow of color reflected in the white. Then though the world still looks mostly white I see a bit of why white is white because it is all colors taking the rest of winter offered by the season. Soon the white will melt spreading itself across the cold dark ground soak into roots and produce a rainbow of colors includeing the green of growth. i get it and can't wait . . . til then white white white! to hear more of this mindless prattle visit www.planetarystreams.com to hear our radio show weekdays at 2 pm EST!

I am so glad God gave us Sunday's to rejoice and relax! How I appreciate that! Yesterday we relaxed after working all weekend on the launch of our new Internet Communications Company, Planetary Streams. I was so tired after working that I threw a yummy dinner in the crockpot and crawled back into bed!
Crawl Back into Bed Sunday Dinner
1/2 - 1 lbs. lean meat
1 can green beans
1 can enchilada auce
1 can spiced beans
1 bag of carrot sticks (needed to be used from by refrigerator drawer)
1 bag frozen mixed veggies
1 can stewed tomtoes
Diced garlic (from oversized jar in fridge)
Start the crock pot on low and go back to bed!!!!!!!!!!!
How much snow do you think we have now? Total left almost 6 feet and that is not accumulative or we would be over 10 feet I am sure! See these photos! You would think we would be tired of watching TV & Radio by Sunday but the snain, what I call snow and rain, joined with the winds and was pummeling our home, so we watched the Oscars. It was cold, dark, nasty and none of us wanted to leave the house. We curled up in blankets and listened to all of the thank yous and critiqued the dresses. My favorite Academy Award Dress was Helen Mirrens and Nicole Kidman’s necklace. We love John Travolta dancing in and we wondered what was wrong with Owen Wilson. All and all a fairly entertaining evening though really we are partial to Home Makeover which has enough human compassion and love in it that you don’t feel quite so bad about the world when you are done watching it!

Well today marks the day before the big launch of the Planetary Vision powered by Planetary Streams at www.planetarystreams.com. It’s an internet communications company specializing in Talk TV & Radio for website and we have a lot of FREE offerings any website owner will love!

Thanks to this wonderful company who is hosting the Bluebird Sisterhood!

Forgotten day with icicles, bluebirds, monkeys and peanutbutter banana

Yesterday I kind of thought it was Monday, a typical President's Holiday mistake. I missed all kinds of Tuesday appointments and even forgot to make dinner -- Monday's we get take out! It was a beautiful day though as my kids were home for Winterim I got them off the computer and away from video games to sit on the front porch in the sun.

We watched the snow icicles dripping from our 5+ feet of snow in our front garden. Drip drip drip and then we got hot in the sun -- something that hasn't happened since October. I broke out the water colors and we painted -- me of course the blue birds and my son a self-portrait. His looked like a monkey so surprizingly accurate really.

I made them peanut butter and honey banana sandwiches and well it was like a pre-spring break. My Maddy (13) said, "We are soaking up the Vitamin D, we will all be less grumpy now." And indeed she was right, we were cheerier til later when of course I found out it hadn't been Monday after all. Still I wouldn't trade that day for the world! Please join our Healthy Wealthy Wow What Women Want Radio Show every day at NOON mst and share you grand forgotten day experiences on the Grapevine Talk Radio Network byt logging on to www.planetarystreams.com. I like this blogging this . . . it is fun!

It's actually a recipie not just a premise!

Hey there! My name is Kim Power Stilson and I host a daily talk radio show and wanted to write a blog . . . so here I go. On the Heatlthy Wealthy Wow What Women Want Talk Radio Show, on the Grapevine Talk Radio Network powered by Planetary Streams on www.planetarystreams.com. The other day we talked about not knowing what to make for dinner and we came up with the yummiest recipie -kind of like Thanksgiving in a crockpot -- it is so easy. Canned pumpkin, canned green beans, canned corn, chicken boullion, a can of water, sliced potatoes, carrots an wa la. Crockpot for 8-10 hours! It was so good. So, if you don't have time to listen to my talk radio show (been doing it for 7 years) then just check my blog for great news, a mix of interest, a kind of Appreciation Soup!
