I'm trying to promote the DCB and Family Skillet and would like to list appetizers in addition to main meals and desserts.

Any suggestions? Thanks!
 
For the DCB- did you check the DCB Recipe collection that was put together by someone on here? I know there are a huge list of recipes in there...including desserts (not sure about appetizers).
 
DCB- glazed teriyaki meatballs, chili lime meatballs
Skillet- steamed wonton purses
 
When I do the Jerk Chicken Nachos, I cook the chicken in the DCB.

And the Steamed Wontons are AWESOME! for the 12" skillet.
 
Most dips that are made in the deep dish baker fit nicely in the dcb. Hot Pizza Dip, Touchdown Taco Dip, etc. You can also heat these up in the microwave.
