I am doing an interactive show in a couple of weeks....I am so lost of what do as the recipe. The host wants each guest to beable to make their own individual thing for the main dish. Please send some ideas my way!
 
Do the Cheeseburger Salad but leave out the onions, and cheese and let them top it the way they like....???

Thanks Lindsay for the idea....but I did a fundraiser for this group and that is what I demo'd. But another type of salad would work.
 
Do the 15 minute Fajitas in the DCB in the microwave. Everyone can help prepare it for the microwave, and then they can help make the salsa, and get the condiments ready for a Fajita Bar.....and make their own fajita with whatever toppings they'd like.

I love the Cheeseburger Salad as an Interactive Demo - but this one has more of a "do it yourself" feel to it.

Hi there! I love the idea of an interactive show where each guest can make their own individual main dish. Here are a few ideas that I think would be perfect for this type of event:1. Build-Your-Own Taco Bar: Set up a variety of toppings and fillings such as seasoned ground beef, shredded chicken, black beans, cheese, lettuce, tomatoes, salsa, and sour cream. Each guest can create their own unique taco combination.2. Personalized Flatbread Pizzas: Provide a variety of toppings such as sliced vegetables, cooked meats, and different types of cheese. Guests can assemble their own flatbread pizzas and then you can cook them in the oven for a quick and delicious meal.3. DIY Pasta Station: Cook up a big batch of pasta and have a variety of sauces and toppings for guests to choose from. This way, everyone can create their own personalized pasta dish.4. Individual Quiches: Prepare a variety of quiche fillings, such as spinach and feta, ham and cheese, and mushroom and onion. Each guest can choose their preferred filling and then you can bake them in individual ramekins for a cute and tasty main dish.5. Make-Your-Own Buddha Bowls: Set out a variety of grains, proteins, vegetables, and sauces for guests to mix and match and create their own healthy and colorful buddha bowls.I hope these ideas help inspire your main dish for the interactive show. Have fun and enjoy the process of creating your own personalized meal!
