My host for Jan 13 wants to do the "healthy eating" theme since she thinks a lot of the guests will be dieting after the holidays.

Has anyone done any good "light" recipes for shows that they can share? I have been trying to keep my demo simple with just one recipe - but if there are two easy ones I could do that too...

Thanks for any input - I know you are are a great resource!

Val

And good luck to everyone for reaching their PC goals in 2007!
 
I am doing a Chicken Caesar Pizza and the Choc Chip Cannoli Dip for most of my Jan shows. Both are light recipes.
 
Greek Chicken Rice soup from It's good For You is a tasty light recipe. And it shows cookware. You can add stoneware by heating up some pita bread to go with it.
 
I'm doing the Smashed Potato Soup from It's Good For You and a microwave cake in the stoneware fluted pan. If you want to cut out the oil, use applesauce instead. I make my own, so there's no extra sugar in it!
 
I am doing the Harvest Chicken salad substituting Baby Greens for the spinach
 
I do the Chicken Ceasar Salad Pizza for "light" shows. If you have the crust baked ahead of time it's really quick and easy, and everyone loves it.
 
Antipasto PizzaThis is the first recipe I made with my new kitchen tools. It is really good, not heavy with red sauce, and vegetarian. but I forgot the pine nuts in the microwave.:rolleyes: Oh well next time. Hope this helps.
 
Heavenly Lemon Angel Cake in All The Best is awesome!
 
I just made Quick Curried Chicken from It's Good for You for my family last night. It was super easy and SO good!

I don't know how it would be as a show recipe, though.
 
Try the Quick Tortilla Soup posted by lacychef up a few posts... i think it is almost fat free too, until you would garnish w/ cheese and sour cream.. (guess you could use the "light" versions.. but .. why bother?? :) mmm...fat!)
 
Just call it a "Low Fat" show, have everyone sit on the floor and call it a day!
 
The Berries 'n Cream Wonton Cups from the It's Good For You cookbook are yummy!

The Fudgy Glazed Brownies from the It's Good for You cookbook are AMAZING!!! The taste fantastic ; you use the large Bar Pan (it actually fills it up) so you could promote next month's host specials or the new SS kit.

Use one box of chocolate cake mix and a can of diet soda. YOu will never go back to the eggs and oil. I promise! And it is low fat. Serve with fat free cool whip!
 
Great and SHOWY Low Cal option...Here's a veggie "martini" that is striking and very very healthy. Good Luck; God Bless You!

Frequently Asked Questions

What are some healthy appetizer ideas for my January Pampered Chef shows?

Consider serving fresh vegetable platters with homemade hummus or yogurt-based dips. You can also prepare stuffed mini peppers or cucumber bites filled with low-fat cream cheese and herbs. These options are not only healthy but also visually appealing!

Can you suggest a healthy main dish for a January show?

A great option is a quinoa and black bean salad. It's packed with protein and fiber, and you can customize it with seasonal vegetables. Another idea is to prepare grilled chicken or fish with a side of roasted vegetables, which can be easily made using Pampered Chef tools.

What healthy dessert recipes can I showcase at my January shows?

Try making a fruit salad with a variety of seasonal fruits, drizzled with a bit of honey and lime juice for added flavor. You could also prepare baked apples with cinnamon and a sprinkle of oats for a warm, healthy treat that’s easy to make.

How can I incorporate Pampered Chef products into healthy cooking demonstrations?

Utilize tools like the Food Chopper for quick vegetable prep, the Microplane for zesting citrus, and the Deep Covered Baker for healthy one-pot meals. Showcasing these products while preparing healthy recipes can highlight their versatility and ease of use.

Are there any healthy meal prep ideas I can share with my guests?

Absolutely! Encourage guests to prepare healthy meals in advance by using the Pampered Chef Freezer Meal Workshop. You can demonstrate how to assemble freezer-friendly meals, such as turkey chili or vegetable stir-fry, which can be easily cooked later in the week for quick and nutritious dinners.
