What is food: Definition and 178 Discussions

Are the Everyday Food leads going out to just Directors & above or to everyone? They never stated anything about it in the info on CC.

Wow, I just got my Oct. Everyday Food yesterday and turned to the first page and what do I see ...... The Pampered Chef ad!! First of all I forgot they were going to do the ad, then I couldn't beleive it is on the very first two pages!! Very effective!! I wish I were a Director to get...

I'd like to help support our local food bank in the months of Nov. and Dec. Has anyone else thought about this? Guests bring canned food, at the end of the month, maybe the host with the most cans collected wins something? I thought of maybe even bring a scale and weighing the amounts...

I was looking to do a supply order and saw # FN78 and FN79 and the decspription says " Real Food Real Fast" recipe card and "Bites N Bevs" recipe cards. What recipes are these? TIA!

Ash saw an allergist this week and it was determined she isn't allergic to anything. But, since food allergies are harder to determine we are to take all corn products away for a week then make her binge then the following week peanuts and binge). I have been sick the past week with...

I just got asked to be part of a food committee for an upcoming church ladies function. It'll be a day of making Christmas crafts and gifts. They want the food to be more "elegant" this year. Last year, I think it was pretty much picked up veggie trays, deli trays, and hors de vours (sp?)...

I have a host who somehow managed to break the slider part of the food holder. On the replacement parts form it just has "Food Holder" and looking at the diagram in the use and care, it's a bit confusing. They have the whole sliding unit labeled as "Food Holder" and also just the oval part...

My husband is retiring:cry: I am planning a small (30-40) family/close friends/co-workers party (7 p.m.-?) and am looking for finger/munchie foods other than the standard veggie tray, etc. Everything I am coming up with in PC recipes need to be heated (oven or microwave) before serving. I...

A friend of mine called asking for recipies to make for her host this weekend. He: * Can't eat red pepper or anything spicy. Even salad dressings are off limits. * Can't eat deserts. * Can't eat salads because the dressing is off limits ... but tomatoes are OK. * Can't eat most cheeses...

My boyfriend wants Chinese for dinner tonight. In an effort to keep from going out to dinner & spending too much money, I thought I would make something at home. Problem is I have never made Chinese before, so I'm at a loss. What would you guys recommend as something quick & easy? (We have...

Has anyone ever done a "pre-packed" show? It was suggested at a cluster meeting -- Something like a cooking class where you preorder a package (pie plate, slice and serve, bakers roller, apple wedger and a cinnamon sprinkle), for a set price. Then we will make apple pie together and they can...

I wish we had a few more food products to offer. :) I really like the PC beer bread, but I wish PC had a few cake mixes or muffin mixes or whatever to sell along with the mini loaf pans and the muffin pans. Just a few easy items that people can prepare 1-2-3 without too much hassle. I...

How do you figure out the food tax for outside orders? (Is there a food tax in Cali?)

Tomorrow at 10am I am doing a Mary Kay thing at my house for my sister who sells it. I wanted to have some light refreshments, finger foods, fruit or something. I figured I would try to have something that could show off my PC stuff at the same time. My sister doesn't want me to have too...

I am having a tasteful treasure party tomorrow night, I have 15-20 who RSVP yes. Yah :) Can't wait for girls night because I have been working hard all week. In fact I have been working so hard I haven't put any thought it what to make for food. I was thinking about trying out some new...

I am having an Uppercase Living party on Friday night and I need some suggestions for food to make. I would prefer to make most of it the night or morning before so I won't be in there cooking when the guest arrive. I have a lot of pampered chef cookbooks but not a lot of time to look through them.

So... are we free to talk about last night's episode? It takes the pressure off the judges to make a call and puts the decision in the hands of the people. I gotta say, I'm just not all that sure I'll watch any of them for more than a couple of episodes...

I'd like to send a notice out to my previous hosts that I am becoming active again in my shows and am looking for new bookings for July and August. I'm struggling with the wording. Does anyone have a little blurb that they send out along those lines? I want it to be honest but don't want to...

I need to get my butt in gear and do the fundraiser for our local food bank, as I am the food bank coordinator for PEI. I was to do it in April, but with Mom and all, nothing has happened yet. My problem is I’m a little stumped on how to go about it. I’m not sure who I get to collect the...

How do you handle knowing how much or how big of a recipe to prepare for a show? When I'm doing a show at 6:30, the host thinks everyone is coming hungry so they want to do 2 recipes or double up on the one. If I steer them into just doing 1 recipe, they want to also offer additional foods...

Here is another flyer. I added a photo to this one. I am getting a little more creative. Hope this one is helpful too!

Here is another flyer I put together. Hope this one is helpful too!

My recruit & I are renting a space at our local farmers market this weekend. This is a new venture for us, as well as our community - usually the closest market is 18 miles from here. We would like to have some food samples to highlight some of the products. I'm thinking the triple citrus...

I recently received a salsa recipe from my PC newsletter provider and it states to chop the tomatoes in the food chopper. Has anyone done this? I'm thinking the tomatoes would be too juicy and make a mess. Any suggestions?

We hosted our monthly cluster meeting at our home last evening. Everyone was asked to make a dish to share & I had the luxury of using my own kitchen, so I decided to make a variation of a dish we saw on the Food Network Show, "Cooking For Real." Sunny Anderson made this recipe with shrimp...

So, it is employee appreciation month and our company's 25th anniversary so our owners had lunch catered in today. I'm enjoying the most wonderful salad, bread and spaghetti with HUGE delicious homemade meatballs... Sigh... Cheesecake and brownies for dessert...

I have a customer who has the old food chopper, the one that says ZLYSS on the side, and her collar has cracked. If possible, she would like to just replace the collar. Does anyone by chance have one they would be interested in selling, and for how much? Thanks!

I had a customer at my show, really shoot down the chopper. She said she had it and it doesn't work. She said it always "gums" up the food it in. Actually I had two sold until she started going on about it. There was only 3 people at the show including the host. Anyways, she said she...
