Pampered Chef's New TasteBuds Subscription Helps With Mealtime Inspiration
Pampered Chef has launched TasteBuds, a monthly seasoning kit subscription offering. Deliveries begin Oct. 1 in the U.S. and Canada and include:
Three pre-portioned packets of Pampered Chef’s non-GMO and gluten-free, seasonings and blends.
Three exclusive recipes highlighting the month’s theme and seasonings; recipes are customizable with suggested “change-ups” to fit different family dietary needs and palates, such as vegetarian and gluten-free options.
Subscriber-only access to the TasteBuds online portal, which features additional recipe support, timesaving tips, video content and more to build even more confidence in the kitchen.
TasteBuds is available in three subscription types: month-to-month ($24/Can$34); three-month, pre-paid quarterly ($20/Can$28.50 per month); and six-month, prepaid semi-annually ($18/Can$25.50 per month). Shipping is free.
“We know that consumers are spending more time in their kitchen and endlessly scrolling through recipes just to end up serving the same chicken dinner they make every day; we designed TasteBuds with that struggle in mind,” says Terry Haley, chief marketing officer for Pampered Chef.
AARP and Wish of a Lifetime Join Forces
AARP, the national nonprofit headquartered in Washington, D.C., is joining forces with the Colorado-based charity Wish of a Lifetime to help older adults fulfill their lifelong dreams.
Since its founding in 2008, Wish of a Lifetime has made over 2,000 wishes come true for older residents of all 50 states and D.C. It has now rebranded as "Wish of a Lifetime from AARP," a change that took effect in August 2020.
"By bringing Wish of a Lifetime into the AARP family, AARP believes that its important work can reach more people – both those who want to give help and wish applicants – and ultimately combat the negative effects of isolation, strengthen social ties and intergenerational connections and help wish recipients achieve a lifelong dream," says Scott Frisch, AARP Executive Vice President and Chief Operating Officer.
Wish of a Lifetime from AARP continues to accept wish nominations online at www.wishofalifetime.org. During the coronavirus crisis, Wish of a lifetime has modified its wish-granting program to focus on virtual wishes and wishes that can happen safely within recipients' homes and communities.
