Hello everyone, I'm making one of the Apple Crisp variations from the Magic Pot cookbook for a show tomorrow. The recipe isn't clear regarding covering or not covering it while microwaving. I've done it with the cover on and it turns out OK, but not very crisp. I don't have the time or...

I had a lovely woman purchase a selection of pantry items for a welcome home/birthday party for her boyfriend who was deployed. I placed the order for her on Monday (Labor Day) and it didn't ship until today (Sigh!). Obviously they won't be here in time! The shipment is scheduled to arrive on...

Has anyone actually tried it yet? I plan on making it tomorrow. Just curious if there are any tips or suggestions.

Great idea! Thanks Wendy!

I have a show coming up in the next month for a Chiropractor that wants to teach her clients and friends healthy eating habits (ie gluten free). She wants to do the show at her office, but doesn't have a microwave or oven available. I'm thinking the mango salsa, pantry dips and perhaps the...

I made this tasty recipe last night and used the DCB to cook the chicken. I followed the rest of the recipe as written, but it made me think that most of the steps could be duplicated using the DCB for the entire meal. Has anyone tried this? :confused:

I did Bobbi ... and "liked" it! Thank you!

Stop by Michaels or Hobby Lobby! They have tons of eye catching 4th of July stuff that I picked up for my booth this weekend (thought it would go nicely with the patriotic table cloth!) Super cheep too! I think the most I spent on an item was $3!

Hello All! I am manning my first booth this weekend. I am planning on doing a drawing, but am unsure as to what I should give away. I've seen others suggest giving away a free cooking show (where everyone wins), which I think is a great idea, but I have a question; do you post what the prize...

Great advice Ladies! Thank you both. The booth will be "manned" by at least one of the consultants from my cluster every Sunday, so I definitely can arrange to have my customers pick up their items at a later date. Fantastic idea Jeanine! I agree. I thought not having to carry inventory is...

I just started a couple months ago and have signed up to be part of one of the local Farmer's Markets this weekend. I'm a little flustered and frustrated trying to decide what to do. It seems everyone has several products on hand to sell. I, however, being new just have my start up kit and a...

I make my own. Its very simple and easy to do. The recipe below makes two crusts. I divide them and then freeze them. I then defrost one before a show and take it with me in a thermal tote just in case the host purchased the wrong kind. Ingredients 3 cups all-purpose flour 1...
