I am doing a joint show with Homemade Gourmet soon. Has anyone ever done a joint show with them? What are some good recipes to make using our and their products? Thanks!
 
I did a combined show and I did ok. But the consultant refused to have me make any of the food since she wanted all her stuff displayed. It was also an open house type. What I really love is their cheesecake. Sorry not much help here.

We're friends and we really want to show how you can use PC products to make their wonderful recipes. I need to figure out how we'll both do our presentations.
 
When I do a joint show with Tastefully Simple, I make the Bananas Foster Stir Fry to be served over their Absolutely Almond Pound Cake. Maybe you can find a common ground with Homemade Gourmet? Serve something of ours over something of theirs?
 
The Mexican Casserole...not sure exactly what its called...works great in the square baker. You could make their apple crisp...yummy...in the square baker or oval baker. I absolutely love HomeMade Gourmet...my consultant is always trying to get me to sign so I can get a better discount...lol. I love their seasonings...the Grandma's Sunday Roast seasoning is awesome. I have cooked a roast in the rectangle baker using their seasoning. Their dips look great in our SA small square bowls and caddy. The sky's the limit!!
 
My mom & sister sells Homemade Gourmet. I love the taco soup. It would be great in one of our big stockpots!! Maybe to hot right now for soup but we also used the cheesecake mix and mixed it in with cool whip. Just those 2 ingredients then you could put that in Simple Additions and serve it with graham cracker sticks.
 
The pecan pie mini muffins are perfect in our mini muffin pan. Also the red velvet dressing in the mix and pour, and dips in the small bowl caddy. Love homemade gourmet
