The rings in All the Best are always a hit & super easy to make! The Taco Ring shows cookware too.

If you are wanting a Main Dish Salad - the easiest one I do (that also shows alot of products) is the 7 Layer Southwestern Salad - and you can even do the 30 minute chicken as part of the demo!

I now have 3 favorite new recipes for main dishes:

Jerk Chicken Salad (pasta variation)
Enchalada Casserole
Asian Pork and Noodle Skillet

oh, and...

Quick Chicken Primavera Risotto (from SB - I think last year)

Have you tried the Mascarpone Potatoes?? They are a side dish in the 29 minutes or less cookbook. YUM!

The Mascarpone Potatoes are part of the recipe on page 79 "Gremolata Steak with Marscarpone Potatoes". (2 servings)

4 small red potatoes
1 1/2 cup water
2 Tbsp marscapone cheese (can subsititue with cream cheese)
1/2 tsp. salt

Cut potatoes into quarters. Cook potatoes in water until tender (recipe calls for using small microcooker to cook potatoes, I used cookware on stovetop), drain. Add cheese and salt. Mash with mix 'n masher (I used mix 'n chop - misread that but it worked great!).

I've made this twice already for my family and they are loving it! I had cream cheese in the house so that's what I used. Enjoy!

She's decided on the jerk chicken salad. Does anyone have the recipe? I don't have my SB with me at work.

Also does anyone have the warm nutty brownie recipe? Thanks!

Both of those are on CC, with the SBRC listings. You can download them and even email them to hosts.

Warm Nutty Caramel Brownies
Recipe

1 teaspoon vegetable oil
1 package (12 ounces) semi-sweet chocolate morsels, divided

3/4 cup packed brown sugar, divided
1 cup salted mixed nuts, divided
5 rolls (1.7 ounces each) milk chocolate-covered chewy caramels, divided (40 pieces total)
Vanilla ice cream (optional)

Preheat oven to 375°F. Lightly brush Large Bar Pan with oil using Chef's Silicone Basting Brush. Chop 1 1/2 cups of the chocolate morsels using Food Chopper. In Classic Batter Bowl, combine brownie mix, water, oil, eggs and 1/4 cup of the brown sugar; mix well.

Chop nuts using Food Chopper. Combine half of the nuts and remaining 1/2 cup brown sugar; sprinkle evenly over brownie batter. Bake 20-22 minutes or until wooden pick inserted in center comes out clean.


Meanwhile, using Utility Knife, cut 16 caramels into quarters. Place remaining 1/2 cup chocolate morsels in Prep Bowl; microwave on HIGH 1 minute or until melted, stirring after each 20-second interval. Spoon melted chocolate into resealable plastic bag; set aside.


Remove bar pan from oven to Stackable Cooling Rack. Immediately press remaining 24 caramels evenly into brownie in four rows of six caramels each.

Recipe

1 tablespoon Garlic Oil or olive oil
1 tablespoon Jamaican Jerk Rub
1 pound chicken tenders
1 medium pineapple
1 red bell pepper
3 green onions (white and light green parts only)
2 heads romaine lettuce
1 can (15 ounces) black beans, drained
6 slices bacon, cooked, drained and crumbled

Dressing

2 limes
1/3 cup reduced-fat mayonnaise
2 tablespoons pineapple preserves

In Classic Batter Bowl, whisk together oil and jerk rub with Stainless Whisk. Add chicken tenders; mix well to coat and set aside.

For dressing, zest one lime using Microplane® Adjustable Grater. Juice both limes into Small Batter Bowl using Citrus Press. Add lime zest, mayonnaise and pineapple preserves to batter bowl; mix well.

Cook's Tip: If desired, 1 pound of boneless, skinless chicken breast halves, cut into strips, can be substituted for the chicken tenders. To microwave bacon, line Medium Bar Pan with sheet of Parchment Paper. Arrange bacon slices in a single layer on bar pan; cover with another sheet of Parchment Paper. Microwave on HIGH 4-6 minutes, checking after each 30-second interval and turning once with Bamboo Tongs. Remove bacon to paper towel-lined plate to drain. For a kid-friendly version of this recipe, prepare recipe as directed, omitting lettuce. Cook 1 pound rotini pasta according to package directions. Drain pasta and toss with 2 tablespoons vegetable oil. Add remaining ingredients; drizzle with dressing and toss gently.

Thanks Ann! What is pineapple preserves? Is that just the pineapple juice?

 

[chefann]

Pineapple preserves is like pineapple jam. It'll be near the jams and jellies. If you can't find pineapple, you can use apricot preserves.

Or you can take a few slices of the fresh pineapple and crush it and add sugar. That's what I did the first time I made that recipe and it was perfect. (canned pineapple would work for that as well)

I think this is what we are having for dinner.

The Jerk chicken Salad (lettuce version) is delish! The dressing seemed a littel strange to me but put it on the salad and it was great!
