What is summer: Definition and 157 Discussions

Anyone have any good ideas for some summer appetizers? Would love to not use an oven but not a requirement. I keep thinking cool veggie pizza but I want something else. ANYONE, ANYONE? BUELLER? (lol)

I found 2 flyers for June and Summer from 2007 that I wanted to share. One is a great tracking chart and the other might be great for new leads to check out. Be sure to update info though!

I just got this from Darla Oelmann and thought it was great and wanted to share!! As we talked last week, we are all facing the pressures of rising prices at the gas pumps and other areas. But I strongly feel that we can have a business that is stronger in the end, but there is a huge...

Hello Fellow Chefs!!:chef: Could someone enlighten this consultant about the new summer catalogs?? What could be in them and do we really need them at this point?? I have a stock pile of 200+ catalogs and don't need more if I can help it!:eek: THANK YOU!!!:balloon:

Well, my garden is half-done. Yesterday, I went out to work on it, only to find that our wonderful roofing help had been dumping shingles on it. (and I thought that was what we rented the dumpster for?:cry: ) So, I spent yesterday afternoon cleaning up shingle pieces. Today, after church...

Hi! :) I'm in search of about 6 really yummy, simple cold pasta salad recipes for summer time. It would be great if I could get some that are made with meat (like chicken or tuna) and some that aren't. Cream based or vinegarette based sauces/dressing are fine with me... I'm just tired of my...

I have 3 festivals I am signed up for for this summer. One is in June and two are in July, one in July being a 4th of July festival. My question is what really works at your booths? I plan on having a drawing and of course displays and products to try. But what about food?? Yes, No? Any...

Has anyone tried this new recipe yet? How is it?

Remember the huge FR I did last summer? Looks like it won't be happening again. My great-uncle killed himself last week - and in his will it seems he left half a million dollars...to the group I did the fundraising for. So - they won't be needing my FR s anymore. Wah.

I'm a new consultant and wanted to order some of the new spring summer stuff and i saw in my P3 that there are combo packs....except....only the Pack A comes up....i know last week when i was on someone else's P3 i could see all the possible combos. It lists the combos in P3 but doesn't say...

I am doing Veg Ribbon Salad for some of my summer shows (I know...OLD recipe...) and would like to do a quick and ez recipe using stoneware to go with it. Crostini w/ the olive salad topping was reccommended...would the flavors go well together? Any other suggestions? (As little work as...

My director has aske me to help at our meeting. She would like me to do a fun game/ exercise with the team to help them learn the new products. Any one have any suggestions? TIA!! :chef:

So it seems that after about 6 people seeing the spring/summer products, I have actual orders for 4 grill baskets, 3 large sheet pans, 1 medium sheet pan & 2 plate caddy. There's more, but it's great to know that the grill basket & sheet pans are a hit so far. Now that most of us have seen at...

I just made the Summer Berry Shortcakes. My two boys, my dh, and I really liked them. I didn't have a lemon so I used a clementine. The crescents were a little under done, so next time I'd make sure they look over done because they looked golden brown after baking for the maximum time on the...

Besides the items you earned during the SAT has anyone received samples from an order they placed yet? We ordered the rest of our items on Saturday 1/26 and they're still showing a status of Received! Bummer.....we want to get the rest of our products!:(

I don't know if this is the right place to put this, but I know someone on here will have an answer for me. When can we start placing supply orders for the Spring/ Summer paperwork? I would like to order mini catalogs to use at my Feb. shows to get March bookings. :chef:

ok if i understand this right, if not correct me if i am wrong....... does home office send us new paper work and stuff like that for free or do we have to pay for it?

I have a show first weekend in August. it is an afternoon show, and hostess wants appetizers. I do not want to heat up the house, so I am going to offer Spicy Shrimp Ceviche Cups. I would like to send her a couple recipes to chose form. Any other ideas? I want to show lots of products.

This month I recently signed 2. I was going to let them know about the FREE trivet. Can they still get it? If so, does anyone have the number. Thanks.

What is everyone doing for summer recipes? I don't want to do anything that will heat up the kitchen. I have a show tonight and have gone back and forth on what to do - so I thought I'd ask for some advice :) Thanks!!! Jen <><

Enjoy, Ladies and Gents :)

Hello fellow Cheffers! I need some help! My director asked me to make/bring a good summer recipe that would also be a good show recipe. She wants me to bring it to share, then explain how I made it and what tools I used. So, here are some things I DON'T want (for various reasons): *trifle...

Beach Ball Host Blitz Just received this in an e-mail, and thought I'd share.

I wanted to start a new thread as a challenge - I would love to see all of us fill our schedules for the summer. Report in each day on how you are doing. This is not a 24 thread but a 4 day thread. Everyone has different schedules. Let's book strong! If you have contacted everyone I...
