Okay, im having a show with guests i have EVERY month, tomorrow im doing a no demo show...just having 2 recipes already made and letting everyone mingle...we'll play a game with the catalog to get to talk about favorites and stuff like that, since some will have friends attending...ANYWAY :) my host LOVES this idea.

I dont know which recipes to make, last month i did a torte pan one and a taco salad in the trifle...
I think I will make some sort of triffle? and some sort of app. I was thinking about touch down taco dip...

are the chicken squares cheap, easy?

OH and for those who give recipes printed out at the show, how big do you make them???
 
The touchdown taco dip always goes over well and is really easy. Chicken Clubhouse Squares? Not really cheap since you need chicken & bacon, etc. Prep time too if you are cooking the chicken and bacon yourself. They do go over well though. I always seem to go to the Touchdown Taco Dip for a 2nd recipe though. I do no demo shows too. I just talk about the new products, ask them for their faves and let them have at it, encouraging questions. They love it b/c they get to chat right away, but they still place great orders. If they know our products, seeing them in person is actually just as good as seeing it used. I also sometimes cook there if the setup is right and let them chat while I'm cooking. I have a few people come over to see what I'm doing and that sells the products to them while the others (who may not have paid much attention to what I was using) get to leaf through the catalog and chat without disrupting my mini-demo.As for recipes, I tend to give out the recipe cards we can buy and tell them to visit my website to get today/tonight's recipe or if they give me their email, I'll send it to them.
