OUR

history

When Founder & CEO Jill Blashack Strahan had an “aha!” moment, it was the beginning of something magical for thousands of women and men across the country. As the owner of a gift basket business, she realized that her clients were more interested in the food products in her baskets than in the baskets themselves. The pre-measured mixes and seasoning blends Jill included in her baskets were both delicious and simple to prepare. It sparked a brilliant new business idea: Tastefully Simple.

Like most of us, Jill wanted to eat incredible meals, yet didn’t want to spend hours in the kitchen with complicated recipes. She knew the perfect spokesperson for the new business: herself!

Soon, the friends and foodies who attended her fun, easygoing gatherings were selling the foods too. From packing orders on a pool table in a modest shed to our current state-of-the-art facility in Alexandria, Tastefully Simple quickly grew into a multi-million dollar company nourished by thousands of independent consultants nationwide. PS: Want to enjoy a fun, relaxing get-together with friends? Host a Tastefully Simple tasting party with the potential to earn free products!

The idea that started it all hasn’t changed one bit: let’s eat incredible meals that are simple to prepare, and help others do the same.
