My host for Thursday has the DCB and I suggested that we use it at her show...but she left me a message last night that her microwave is too small. So I'm looking for recipe suggestions for the oven? I'm thinking about the apple-cherry crisp, but would love to make something that has a shorter...

Okay guys, I'm torn... I so want to do a fully, and I mean fully interactive show. But by the time I reach the host's home and greet the guests I chicken out. I will do the demo and ask people to try out the tools, or I've called on people, or I've done the tickets for participation thing...

Does anyone have a dessert recipe for my show? Here is what the host says: "I wonder if you have a recipe for a good WW dessert. My sister, Susie, is celebrating her birthday the next day and I would like to have a "celebratory" dessert. Many of us are on Weight Watchers"

The "Girlfriends!" group at church is doing "Munchies & a Movie," featuring a "live cooking demo". That would be me. :chef: I will not have easy access to a microwave, stove, or refrigerator. Besides a Trifle, what type of recipe demo could I do? TIA

Anyone have the info?

I'm looking for some ideas for a gluten-free demo in October. If I do chicken your way, does anyone know if there is any sort of gluten in the rubs? I usually make a dessert for my demos--looking for some other suggestions.

Hi everyone, I'm very new (signed up 9/7) and am doing my first two shows this coming weekend (eek!). They are for family and friends, but I'm still very nervous. I've decided to make the Elegant Artichoke Cups as my recipe, and I've practiced it once already at home. However, I felt like a...

Do you give your hosts a list of recipes to choose from? If so could you share your good demo recipe list - especially now since I'd rather not use the DCB at every show. I'm looking for quick & easy, showcasing lots of tools and has that WOW effect!

My hostess this weekend has requested a salad demo and I want to give her a couple of options. I've done the warm lemon pepper and the southwestern chicken ones at shows she's been at already. Would like to do something different.

The women's nite at my church is doing a Pampering nite and has a few other demonstrations and pampering such as manicures, make-up, jewelry cleaning, crafts, etc. They really don't like the idea of selling any product that night. What would be an easy demo that would be pampering and doesn't...

I am finally closing shop - I'll keep my PWS until I am inactivated, but no more shows. So, I have a bagful of duplicate and other products for sale. These items served me well in my show bag, and are very gently used. As most are current products, please PM me for the list. I have marked...

I received an email today from a contact on my newsletter list. I had originally met her at an event I participated in at work, but I was never able to get her to book a show, or recruit her. It's been quite a while since the event, and I've kept in touch with her with occasional calls. She's...

I'm contemplating trying something slightly different at an upcoming booth. I was thinking of either (A) doing mini-demos at my booth or (B) setting up 2 or 3 "Try me" Stations where people could try a few products themselves. When you go to Home Shows, you always see crowds gathered...
