Newsletter - April 2009

NOTE FROM STACY

It's an exciting month here at Stacy McBride Collections as we get ready to gather our consultants together for our 2009 Annual Celebration in beautiful Portland, Oregon! This will be the first time many of us will have the chance to meet each other in person. It will be a time of sharing stories, celebrating successes and brainstorming. We have a wonderful weekend planned with our very own Stacy McBride Party, A world-class training agenda, activities, awards dinner and the unveiling of two brand new collections that will be unlike anything we have offered before.

This year's theme is "The Star Within You" and I think it is such an appropriate title, not only for our Stacy McBride Consultant Team, but to all of us as women and what we can do. We are amazing creatures! We are Wives, Mothers, Daughters, CEOs of our businesses and households, engineers, event planners and so much more! We can truly make things happen when we put our mind to it, focusing on the goals for each day. So ladies, take the time to acknowledge yourself for all that you do, and what you are capable of.

You have much to be proud of! Each of you is a star, so shine on and enjoy all of the great things life brings your way! My best to you, Stacy

RECIPE

Pesto, Cheese and Sundried Tomatoe Palmiers
Submitted by Stacy Ryan

1 pkg. (17.3 oz) Frozen puff pastry sheets
1/4 cup prepared pesto
1/2 cup crumbled feta or goat cheese
1/4 cup finely chopped sun-dried tomatoes
1/4 cup walnuts, chopped (optional)

1. Thaw pastry sheets at room temperature for 40 minutes. Line 2 baking sheets with parchment paper.

2. Unfold 1 pastry sheet on a lightly floured surface. Spread 1/2 of the pesto over pastry. Top with 1/2 of the cheese, 1/2 of the tomatoes and 1/2 of the walnuts (if desired). Starting on one long side of the pastry sheet, fold towards center, leaving 1/4" space in center. Fold the other side towards center, then fold one side over the other to make a 4-layer rectangle. Repeat with remaining pastry sheet, pesto, cheese and nuts. Cover pastry rectangles with plastic wrap and refrigerate for 45 minutes.

3. Heat oven to 4oo degrees. Cut each rectangle into 15 (1/4") slices. Place cut-side down, 2" apart on a prepared baking sheets.

4. Bake for 14 minutes or until gold, turning over halfway through baking. Remove and cool slightly on wire racks.
