Thanks so much for all of the help! I bought really expensive cookies today, but the cookies weren't large - just the package!:( I was disappointed about it, but I knew you guys would have the answer. Thanks again!

Does anyone know of a brand of store-bought cookies that are large enough to fill the ice cream sandwich maker or do I have to make them from scratch?

I thought of another: the adjustable scoop! I recommend that they buy a couple and leave them in their cannisters (flour, sugar, rice, etc.) so they don't have to wash as often.

I also push multiples of the flour/sugar shaker. Another one I do is the Spritzer. I have one for olive oil, but olive oil breaks down at higher temperatures and has a lower smoking point. If you cook at high heat, you also need one for canola or peanut oil!

When people ask, "What do you do?" I say, "Oh, I love my job! I do cooking shows in people's kitchens for them and their friends! I teach people how the right tools can get them in and out of the kitchen in a hurry with delicious results! I'm a Pampered Chef consultant!"

Beauty Salon IdeaI've really been hurting for bookings and I heard this on a "Move It, You Won't Lose it" CD (an older version). It can be so hard to get bookings outside of a show. She suggested that you take a bag of your stuff (mini-catalogs, flyers, whatever you want) to a local hair...

Thanks so much! It's my first turn at my David's Bridal this Saturday. Just trying to get ready. I appreciate you posting that for me so quickly!

I'm looking for that cute little poem that you can stick on the front of old catalogs to let people know that it's old, but they can contact me for a new one. I know I have seen this poem around here - but I simply cannot find it! Anyone know where I can look?

If you are looking for recruits (who isn't?) you can just set up your Starter Kit and let people know that everything you see her (plus paperwork and supplies = $350 worth of stuff) is what you get for a very minimal investment. I really liked the idea of making a skirt out of clearance...

What a mess! I tried the caramel pecan pull apart bread TWICE the other night and it kept bubbling over in my oven (I had a pan underneath to catch it, but still...) and there was caramel all down the sides of my saute pan. The second time I halved the butter and left out two of the...

Calling is easier than it sounds I waited on the line until I got to speak to a real person and then I asked to speak to someone in their marketing department. When he came on the line I just said, "Hi, my name is Ranae Jones, and I'm a consultant with the Pampered Chef...." He interrupted...

So Sorry!Thanks so much Amanda for converting that letter for me! I am so sorry it took so long to get back to all of you -- I've been away from my office. :o I was not ignoring y'all. I hope it helps.

9 of us are sharing a DB in South Austin. We've only been at it about a month, but things are going well. I have been mailing an intro letter to all leads (I have about 20 or so for a 2 week period), and then I follow up within 2-4 days with a phone call. I'll post that letter for anyone who...

Thanks to All!Thanks to all of you who took the time to post a reply. I thought you had such great ideas! I'm having my second kitchen show tomorrow night and I am grateful that I am now a little more familiar with the cookware (thanks to you guys and a lot of reading). I plan to use n8vtxn's...
