Director What's Everyone Making for November?

[DebPC]

Are you doing holiday shows? I am still doing Harvest/Thanksgiving themed shows- at least for another week. I'm making Hot Pizza Dip and Apple Crisp.

fajitas and salsa--Dec ???? Maybe snowballs?

Still making fajitas and salsa here too....everyone loves them!

Last night I brought the Cherry Cordial Torte (from the new holiday cookbook). Delicious! and very easy. I also sold several cokbooks.

I am doing wither the fajitas or the Turkey/Cranberry Ring. Depends on which the hostess prefers. I have been doing the fajitas from early Summer, and I am hesitant to give it up, because I have had AMAZING results with it. In December, I am doing easy appetizers (brie, etc) because I want to focus on gift giving ideas, I do not want to be tied up in a recipe.

I am still focusing on fast and easy budget friendly meals. I have moved from the fajitas to the white chicken chili. I am also offering Homemade for the Holidays. I had a lot of fun with that one last year.

 

[Chef Kearns]

This is what I'm offering. So far, everyone is choosing the Chipotle Chicken Cornbread Cups (can these names be any longer?), or the Peanut Butter torte.

Thanks for the review on the Cherry Cordial Torte- I was just looking at that one this morning.

 

[BethCooks4U]

I'm offering either the fajitas and salsa or the apple spice cake in the dcb and fruit salsa in November.

December: I'm offering cookie and candy making shows (home for the holidays) or the black forest trifle.

January: Power or Comfort Cooking.

Has anyone tried the coconut snowballs yet????
I just watched the video on CC.....this would be a great recipe to have done ahead & just show them the glove part @ the show.

Warning on the Brownie pops for homemade for the holidays.
They are NOT easy to make. I tried them and what a pain. The brownies tend to fall apart, they are very time consuming.
Something that needs a lot of practice.

 

[pamperedlinda]

Thanks Melissa - I was wondering about those.

I made the brownie pops with the small scoop and lollipop sticks. Was easy and fun! And a better size.

 

[DebPC]

I tried the brownie pops to make ahead for a meeting and struggled. This was in early Oct.- no peppermint candy canes etc. around. So I used part of a pretzal rod and then rolled the coated pops in orange. The lollipop sticks sounds like a great idea. I had to work so hard to mold it around the pretzel stick. I also wasn't able to find dipping chocolate and ended up using melted choc chips- too thick. Live and learn. I might try them again with the sticks.
