I need some quick help. I need an easy recipe to demo for a group where there is no oven/stove and only a mini fridge. Anyone have a good non-cook suggestion. I will be doing it during the evening so daylight is also limited. This is a last minute show opp and I am at a lost on what to suggest. Thanks so much!!!:)
 
Clubhouse chicken squares....and just bake the crescent rolls in the rect baker ahead of time!
 
Or 7 layer salad squares...same as above about baking the crust ahead of time!

Or 7 layer salad in the trifle bowl

Or a chocolate or Strawberry Cheesecake Trifle
 
Do you have the recipe for the 7 layer salad squares?I am doing a demo and it is going o be HOT tomorrow! 90 degrees and 15 people in a small apt. I was thinking about doing the Chicken Ceaser Salad Pizza and I saw this post. I also have the 9x13 cranberry baker i have not used yet! Any help would be appreciated!
 
Here you go:

Seven Layer Salad Squares
(Season’s Best Spring 2005)
2 packages (8 ounces each) refrigerated crescent rolls
1 package (8 ounces) cream cheese, softened
1/2 cup spoonable salad dressing (see Cook's Tip)
1 garlic clove, pressed
6 slices bacon, crisply cooked, drained and crumbled, divided
1 cup frozen peas, thawed, divided
3 plum tomatoes, sliced
2 cups thinly sliced iceberg lettuce
1/2 cup (2 ounces) shredded cheddar cheese
1/2 cup coarsely chopped red onion

1. Preheat oven to 375°F. Unroll one package of crescent dough across one end of Stoneware Bar Pan with longest sides of dough across width of pan. Repeat with remaining package of dough, filling pan. Using Baker's Roller®, roll dough to seal seams and press up sides to form crust. Bake 12-15 minutes or until golden brown. Remove from oven to Stackable Cooling Rack; cool completely.
2. In Classic Batter Bowl, combine cream cheese, salad dressing and garlic pressed with Garlic Press; whisk until smooth using Stainless Steel Whisk. Add half of the bacon and half of the peas; mix well. Spread cream cheese mixture evenly over crust using Large Spreader.
3. Using Ultimate Slice & Grate fitted with v-shaped blade, slice tomatoes; arrange over cream cheese mixture. Thinly slice lettuce using Chef's Knife. Grate cheddar cheese using Deluxe Cheese Grater. Coarsely chop red onion using Food Chopper. Sprinkle remaining bacon, remaining peas, lettuce, cheddar cheese and onion evenly over tomatoes. Cut into squares using Utility Knife; serve using Mini-Serving Spatula.

P.S. You can do this in the 9x13 baker, just use one pkg. of crescent rolls.
