My 4th show is next Friday! I'm doing a fundraiser for a Montessori Infant Center and need some ideas for recipes that would interest the parents. The kids won't be there but I want to do something that would get the parents into the kitchen with the kids at home. I have the old starter kit products plus the cut-n-seal and rice cooker plus. I don't have the "Let's Eat!" recipe book for kids. If someone has it, I'd appreciate some insight into that as well. Thanks!

What about brownies in the mini muffin pan? The kids can help and use the small scoop to fill the pan. 325 degrees for 14 minutes!

I'm having a hard time figuring out a recipe with the products I have. I don't have the muffin pan. That's a good idea though. I think I'll make turnovers with the cut n seal for dessert. I'm looking for a lunch/dinner recipe.
 
It may be too late for this show but on the supply order you can get the mini muffin pan at a reduced price for the future. I have 2 and they both fit side by side in the oven--love it! Saves time! In fact I just took out the pans out of the oven a few minutes ago can't wait to take a brownie!
 
What about a ring on the large round stone?
 
Maybe really show off the rice cooker. Make a micro cake in it (I am sure that if you did a search on the files here you could find one for the rice cooker or even the batter bowl) These will give the parents an alternative use and a quick and easy recipe to prepare to fit into their busy lives
