mini carrot cakes (my new fav dessert recipe)
you could have a contest who can chop the fastest! with the food chopper, wheter it be something you need for a recipe or just as a game.
i seen on here something about a poker game with couples i can't remember exactly how that went, but im assuming poker with men would be a big hit.
you could also do a grilling theme let the men grill and the ladies do something inside with the skillet or DCB.

Here are also the games I think we will play (which I borrowed from here:
--Lemon squeezing: one guy use his hands, one use our citrus press-do it into a prep bowl and measure to see who got more out.
--Chopping: using knife, chopper, salad choppers, etc. see who got the most uniform pieces.
--The Apple Peeler/Slicer/Corer: who can make the longest "peel"
--Tool Mania: Select tools and see if people can decide what they are used for (one guy said the Hold N Slice was a comb for a bald guy)

The two also made the Mock Baked Alaskan. I pre-baked the cake and they decorated. I had several very creative types at the party!
Everyone had a blast!
