Anyone have any ideas on what kind of recipes we could do in this baker at our shows? I was thinking of hot dips in the microwave or a round bread recipe. Any ideas. I was surprised there were not any recipes for it in the new Season's Best. And there were not any pizza recipes in the new Grilling Cookbook. Really?? I guess we have to wait until summer for grilled pizza recipe in that marketing guide.

Thanks,

Karen
 
Have you noticed that the new Grilling cookbook has the sauces that were brought out last fall? It seems like they are a season behind.
 
touchdown taco dip
 
Buffalo Chicken Wing dip, Hot Pizza dip, chicken breasts to cut up and try our new sauces with. Lot of possibilities!
 
I'm going to try chicken breasts in it tonight...just a thought--for the smaller crowd (no not little people, smaller families)..a cornish game hen instead of a chicken? I know many senior couples that eat those all the time--they split them. Do you think it is deep enough?
 
I was thinking Touchdown Taco Dip too! LOLBut definitely show the DCB & then brag how the RCB can be used with 1/2 the recipe for smaller sized meals.I wonder if it's big enough for a cake?
 
I'm making Mashed Potato Casserole in mine tonight.
 
Post your address & what time dinner will be being served, please Becky!

Cheesy Mashed Potato Casserole
Green Beans sauteed with a little bacon fat & balsamic vinegar However - I did make enough for leftovers! :)Oh - and the Baby Baker is AWESOME!
 
Yeah, well I'm sitting here eating nachos. The munchkins abandoned me and are off playing, so I have my laptop at the table eating alone. LOL

That's what I'd be eating if my hubby was gone. :) I find it very hard to cook real meals when it's just me and the little guy.
 
Mmmmm nachos. It was just a simple beef, broccoli & carrot stir-fry here. DD likes it and likes to help stir on the stove. Ginger Wasabi Sauce for me and DH, Thai Peanut for her.

Becky, careful about calling it the Baby Baker. Next thing you know, you'll be on the national news for cooking babies. I was thinking about calling it the Little Buddy to the DCB but was thinking that would make it sound too small. Got it today and it seems smaller than I remember from Launch. Looking forward to the creative minds coming up with lots of uses for it.
 
Well I heard you could cut a DCB recipe in half and decided to do Mac N Cheese in mine (we love it in the DCB). Guess I should have thought more about this one before I tried it. 6 minutes into it, it was boiling over in the microwave - what a MESS! Glad I didn't try that at a show lol
 
Can't go off when hubby's away Becky, or my kids would be eating junk food 95% of the year! LOLAnd how 'bout calling it the "Small Miracle Pot" or "Mini-Miracle Pot" or the "Miracle Pot Jr."? LOL
