Hope I'm not late - I did the apple berry salsa at ours (made chips at home). I didn't have an oven. 6 people spent about $150 each, 1 booking and 1 recruit!!!! Big time crowd pleaser!
Good luck!
I'm having a SLAH brunch on the 29th (want to attend by online??? I'll buy from your next show) and plan to have the oat & fruit scones, pumpkin bread and maybe some fruit there.
