:) Hello all,
I have been asked to do a demo for Breast Cancer patients. This is a group through the Breast Cancer Colailation of Delaware. I have found some receipes to use but how should I do this? Like a show or what I'm new to the non-party, party so what do you all think????? THANKS FOR THE HELP in advance...
 
What about doing the new Harvest Chicken Salad, it's healthy and shows lots of tools. Talk about how our products make life easier in the kitchen.

ask co-ordinator if it's ok to talk about HWC Campaign, I can't imagine it wouldn't be and if you need any HWC products, send the call out, I'm sure we can all dig a few things up.

I've got a friend doing a fundraiser for our local ACS walk which is for BC and she asked me back in May as she knew that's when we did the products if I could "buy" some to donate to her to raffle off. I'm letting her have all my samples.

HTH,

Lisa
 
What about a recipe from the It's good for you cookbook?
 
You could also try contacting a local care center or hospital for ideas. Ask for their nutritionist.
 


Hi there! First of all, I think it's wonderful that you have been asked to do a demo for Breast Cancer patients. It's such a great opportunity to share the benefits of healthy cooking and eating with those who are going through a tough time. As for how to do the demo, I would suggest treating it like a mini cooking show. You can demonstrate the recipes while also explaining the health benefits of the ingredients and how they can help with recovery and prevention. You could also provide handouts with the recipes and any additional information you want to share. It's important to keep the atmosphere positive and uplifting, so don't be afraid to inject some fun and humor into the demo. Most importantly, just be yourself and have a great time sharing your passion for healthy cooking with these patients. Best of luck!
