What is a good recipe to send to my husband's company turkey-day potluck. The company provides the meat and I don't think they want desserts. Anything you can think of to feature our products? Thanks....
 
Why wouldn't they want desserts? Any of our desserts in the trifle bowl would be great...then again you could layer fruit in it as well with maybe angel food cake between layers...
 
Greek Cheese Torta served in the collapsible bowl
Club House Chicken Squares
 
Potatoes Au Gratin using the Ultimate Mandoline and Rotary Grater. Or, you can make a batch of Sweet Potato Chips.
 
What about the Apple Sausage Stuffing recipe in the DCB? It was in the Fall/Winter 2007 catalog. I have a customer who says she tried it and EVERYONE in her family loved it. And it shows off the DCB...not a bad product to show off! :)
