I did the elegant artichoke hearts at my MIL's house Thursday night and they were sooo good. You would never know they were artichoke recipes for those who think they'd hate them.
I love the strawberry Amaretto pastries at my shows- they are a big hit.
I am about to venture back into the pizzas- the veggie pizza- and possibly the aloha.
I am using the trifle bowl recipes now- ideas from the cheapest trifle bowl recipes thread.
30 minute chicken is a hit in the covered dish baker.
Plus I have a gallon quick-stir pitcher and we always mix lemonade. I usually sell a few of those.

I did the Strawberry Amaretto Pastries and Antipasto Vegetable Pizza at the majority of show the first 4 or 5 months.
Another good one is the Chocolate Silk Mousse - don't have the recipe in front of me, but you can get it on CC from the "Chocolate Chocolate Chocolate" show. BUT, I substitute pre-baked phyllo dough SHELLS for the crepes. You can find them in the freezer section of the store next to the phyllo dough - but make sure to get the shells, NOT pastry sheets. By using the pre-baked shells, you only need the microwave to melt the chocolate and don't need the oven at all! Great summer recipe to pair with the Harvest Chicken Salad.
One tip for the mousse - when you open the box of shells DON'T destroy the box. In the unlikely event that there are leftovers, you can fill the shells with the mousse, slide the tray of shells back into the box and put in the freezer. Once frozen, they are PERFECT bite-size snacks to satisfy a sweet tooth. My freezer is very rarely without them!
