Help!! I'm in a Rut Need Some New Ideas!!

[Morvin]

Hello everyone I am in a rut I always seem to stay in my comfort zone and cook the same recipes. I am looking for some suggestions of what everyone else usually fixes for their demos. Things that are tried and true and are successfull!!!

Thanks
Heather

I've had success with the Clubhouse Chicken Squares (All the Best). And that's a good no-cook Summer recipe, too.

Yesterday, I made the Turkey Panini with Onion Cranberry Marmalade from Cooking for Two. You can really show a lot of tools with that one (mandoline, APCS, cookware, knives, mini measuring cup, measuring spoons, etc.). In fact, I got 3 bookings (some interest in the cookware) with that demo.

Another good one is the Hot Pizza Dip (All the Best). You can make it in the Mini Baker or double it in the DDB. And it can be personalized with the toppings that the host or crowd like on their pizza.

The Harvest Chicken Salad is a good demo. If you can't find spinach yet, just do romaine or something. It shows a lot of tools & satisfies most taste buds!

If you have the small saute pan; have you tried the pull apart bread? Always a hit when I demo that...I do an Italian pull apart.
I second the harvest chicken salad....very popular. I've also been doing the chocolate chip cannoli dip as a second recipe to show off simple additions. It's been a hit too.
The taco ring has always been my tried & true recipe for new crowds.
