Tastefully Simple began on a dream and a shoestring when Founder & CEO Jill Blashack Strahan had an "aha!" moment. 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. She decided to offer the same products at fun, easygoing gatherings in the comfort of people's homes. From humble beginnings, Tastefully Simple has grown into a multi-million dollar company. now ...
