Just got this email from one of my new consultants, and thought I would try get some ideas from some of you. Keep in mind she is a new consultant, so doesn't have a big selection of products yet. She doesn't have the trifle bowl, I know for sure...and she can't borrow mine, because one of my other consultants is already borrowing it for this Sat!


OK, I have my kids party Saturday, and I'll have about 40 people there. I just
found out that there is a get together for Alec's hockey team that evening, and
everyone has to bring a dish to pass. Rick is taking Alec for a little while,
I'm staying with the family. What would be an easy, quick to assemble dish to
showcase PC that I could send with him?
 
What about brownies or pizza in the large bar pan....it would show of stoneware for Nov. sales and they are so easy to make...
 
does it need to be a side dish or a dessert? Could she make Taffy Apple Tartlets?

Oh! That is a good one!
 
Does she or you have the kids cookbook? I think since it is a kid's hockey gathering something for kids would be good. And the parents could see the PC will help serve their kids.
 
I was playing around over the weekend and came up with a sheet apple pie. Very easy and yummy. For the large bar pan I used 1 1/2 boxes (3 dough rounds) of Pillsbury Pie Crust. Rolled 1 1/2 for top and 1 1/2 for the bottom. Used my APCS for the apples. Mixed apples with 1 3/4 cup sugar, 4 T flour & cinnamon to taste. Baked at 400 for 40 minutes. While it was baking I combined powdered sugar, melted butter and vanilla for a glaze. Put the glaze in a zip loc bag, clipped with twix it clip, snipped corner. About 5-10 minutes after pie came out of the oven I glazed with powdered sugar mix. Really awesome with vanilla ice cream still warm.

I forgot one thing....put a few slits in the top crust before you put it in the oven. Enjoy!
