Does anyone else get this? It's free and always has great recipes and tips that are very demo friendly! Some are very close to our recipes too. :eek:

Anyway, the issue that came today has a variation of the ice cream sandwich cake we made last year, a layered salad shown in a trifle bowl (not ours), a great pizza breadstick recipe made with cheese pizza, an angelfood and pineapple dessert that could easily be layered in the trifle bowl, a pizza on the grill, a chicken salad panini recipe, (well, that's on line at kraftfoods.com) and tons more! The website also has a recipe to make graduation "cap"cakes.

This magazine always has so many recipes that easily adapt to demos and lots of great tips!

You can get your own copies by going to www.kraftfoods.com/share

Tell them I sent you. :cool:
 
I've been getting that for a couple of years. Love it. They also have lots of great tips that I can pass along to my customers.

Yes. I have been getting it for several years too. I devour it every time and have used lots of things from it at my shows and in the training for my team.
 
I get it and love it!!
 
I LOVE this magazine! When I moved and forgot to update my mailing address, I was distraught when I realized that there was a new issue and I didn't have it!
 
I have gotten it for the past few years as well....such a great resource! I like how they show "normal" food...not fru-fru food like Martha Stewart can do too often!
 
I know 2 women who were former PC test kitchen employees and now work for Kraft...COINCIDENCE? I THINK NOT!

I'm dying to make that eclair cake...I just have to wait to go somewhere to make it, or else I'll eat it ALL by myself!
 
yep, i get it to.....

great recipes
 
Love it!!!!

The margarita dip idea is something I am going to use as a "welcome to the party" appetizer. In an effort to mingle with guests as they arrive, I pass around an appetizer. This will be great for a warm spring evening. Plus I can use my new banana trick!

Banana tip trick: to prevent bananas from browning, poke 2-3 holes in banana and microwave for 10-15 sec. Peel and enjoy.

Magic banana trick: (this will get their attention.. I use this during my demo when I need bananas) Poke a hole with a needle or straight pin about 1/4 of the way down the banana, and wiggle. Do the same 1/4 way up the banana. When you peel it, it is 4 pieces.
 
I just signed up - thanks!!
 
I just got my new issue today - love it!!
 
Off to sign up...I have been getting ideas off their website. Getting this would be great.

I just did the oreo frog cookies for church off the website and the lady bug ones.
 
Is there any way to get the current issue. I noticed it said I would receive the "next" one, but I guess since one just went out I will not get one until the next season.
 
I get this and I love it.
 
OH THANK YOU!!!
I moved almost a year ago, and I have been missing my mags! Dugh, I forgot to change my addy!
 
I get it and sometimes wish I didn't:rolleyes: "oh mom you can make this cake" says my daughter, " its perfect for my birthday/slumber party this Friday night" :D
 
THanks Beth, I just signed up:) Always love new ideas!

We just talked about this at Cluster last night. I can't wait to see what all the fuss is about. :D
 
I just signed up. Now I just hope DH doesn't throw it out when it comes (he likes to prescreen my mail by throwing out things he thinks I don't need, like catalogs).
 
lol... ouch! Looking through catalogs and dreaming about everything I want to buy is always a fun night! Make sure to tell him that it isn't actually a catalog, but a magazine full of fun recipes that you will make FOR HIM! :) Maybe that will work :)
 
Don't worry. It LOOKS like a magazine.
 
Yeah, but he tends to throw those out, too. Especially because he knows that we don't currently subscribe to any.
 
Do you need me to send The Furry Guy to give him a good talking to? He recognizes the importance of those magazines (for tips) and catalogs (for demonstrating how much more reasonable PC products are).

Just tell him that anything with food and family in the title must be PC related and important to you!

(BTW: I prescreen dh's mail - with his blessing!)
 
My DH used to work for Kraft, which is how I discovered this magazine. It does have many PC friendly recipes in it. But just an FYI for those of you who did not know: Marla is from originally from Kraft also!

I signed up as well---Thanks!!!!!
 
I also get the magazine and the Pineapple Lush Cake that they have in there is wonderful!! I have even made it in the trifle bowl and it is just as good!! Very light and summery!! Easy to demo for a show.
