What an awesome demo idea! I can't believe you didn't sell ONE sauce! That's crazy!

Yes, I believe the whole group was crazy because it was also a fundraiser and the average sales from each guest was $30.

Morning, I was asked to prepare a demo at our team meeting tonight. Can the Chili Cornbread Bake be made successfully with ground turkey rather than ground beef? Let me know what you guys think?

Yes. It works better with ground turkey IMHO!
 
Old School...I love the new bacon, linguini and tomato toss! Had it last night for dinner for my practice shoot for my show on Sunday and YUM!! :love:

I am old school though, I don't paticularly like microwave cake or meat... :yuck: Also anything with mushrooms.. :yuck:

I prefer to bake in oven, however... Carmel Apple Bread Pudding in DCB, yum...! I start in microwave and move to oven for 1/3 of the baking time and then also get the crunchy browned top to it. One recipe I do like tho is the Chicken Fajitas posted on website here. A lot quicker and easier that what I have done in past. On the flip side 2nd day heat up, I make in to Quesadilla's on stove top... yum!

I also like my All the Best. Love my crescent roll recipes. Yeah not the best for you but sure comfort food to me! I also always get WOW's at my shows when recipe comes out of oven...

Sweetness?? Strawberry Cheesecake Trifle. I do a different spin on things though. I also sell Tastefully Simple and get the Almond Pound Cake for the Cake part in trifle and instead of all Strawberries, I use a frozen mixture of blueberries, raspberries, and blackberries with the strawberries. Always a yum factor at shows.

I also have made and they always dissapear at parties in minutes is the Avacado Salsa Cups. These are soooo good! I make my guac differently though with cream cheese so this could be why they fly off the pan at a party!
Also add cilantro to my salsa and picky on my salsa, has to be Salsa Lisa.

Ok enough, have to go pre pack for my show...
I am sure I have more, but these are at the top of my head so they must stick in my head as my favorites and dislikes.
 
Thanks for the responses, I made the Chipolte Cornbread Chili with ground turkey and it was terrific. I poured off some of the extra juice, not all; since it wasn't greasy. New question: Mexican Cheese Lasagna - how long to bake in the oven rather than the microwave?

Thanks,

Kim

I have only found one recipe I truely dislike - The Mexican Lasagna in the DCB! Strange - I know! Everyone else seems to like it on the board.

For loves - My family loves the Strawberry Cheesecake Trifle. (I think its ok)

I love the brie recipes!

I haven't really tried out the other recipes mentioned, so I need to get a move on! =)

Did you use red sauce or green sauce?? I personally think that the red sauce is bitter unless baked low and slow in the oven. Try green enchilada sauce, it is much better for quick cooking, not as bitter.

what did you dislike? I make it with ground beef or turkey (usually a bag of the make ahead GB from the Power cooking theme) and I use flour tortillas. I did not care for the texture of the corn tortillas.
