I do the Chicken Chipotle Cornbread Cups at a lot of my demos and make variations of it at home. The only thing is... that demo doesn't generate big sales in terms of the items used. You have to be creative and demo other tools as well even though they are not part of the recipe.

You can subsitute taco seasoning for Southwest, but I use that more than any other spice.
BBQ is a close second.
I don't have any of the sweet sprinkles and live without them just fine ... but it might be nice to have them on hand for your Feb. shows.
My director has a sampler kit where she puts the name of the spice on the top compartment of a pill keeper and puts a pinch of each spice. She says she sells many more spices by passing this around, and it is much cheaper to do as a make and take than to buy all the spices and supplies and do it yourself.
