Need Recipe for a Dinner Show...

[PCCHeather0506]

I'm doing a show on Feb 7th at 5pm. My host has quite a few people coming and has quite a few children there....I'm going to be making something to feed dinner to everyone?? Anyone have any good suggestions?? I originally thought the One Pot Pasta...and put chicken in it to make it hearty! If I doubled it...it might feed a lot, just wanted to see what else sounded good?!

Not sure how many you have coming, but one of my favorite dinner recipes to do is the Skillet Lasagna and Garlic Bites.

When I had 12-14 coming to a show, I increased the Lasagna noodle amount and sauce/water amount in the recipe to try to stretch it a little. (I did not add additional meat). The garlic bites are nice to fill people up. I use the large can (8 count) of biscuits in the 10" saute. You could always have your host add a salad to complete the meal.

How about the new Mexican Lasagna Recipe?? Ann typed it up and posted it for us somewhere in the recent threads. It is made in the Deep Covered Baker and looks like it feeds alot!

what about the 30 minute chicken? I heard you can add stove top stuffing to the left over juices and then you have a side. I think you just mix it in, then let it sit with the lid on for 5 min or so. during that time you could be carving the chicken.

I'd have the host order pizza for the kids. It's not your job to feed everybody's kids too.

I would be careful to not be the evening's "caterer" instead of consultant!

 

[DebbieJ]

Yeah, I gasped when you said you're feeding everyone dinner. While I have done a full on meal show before (but only for family and close friends), I would explain to her that you are there to provide a TASTE of our recipes while you show everyone how our tools work.

White chicken chili, it's delicious! Or the chicken tortilla soup from the power cooking recipes. Both, you could have the host have plenty of chips and salsa, maybe gaucamole too to serve with it.

I agree with Becky and Alison (Wadesgirl, did I get your name right? ), you should not be feeding the kids, you are not a caterer, and you are not providing dinner. That's not what a show is about. You are demonstrating a recipe and providing samples for the guests to try. If the host wants to feed her guests a meal, then she needs to provide it.

Oh, and if you do somthing a bit spicy, maybe the kids won't want it anyway!

Two L's but yes you did get the name right.

It is a family member...which is why I was ok with it, but I'm seriously considering suggesting we do something simple for the kids like pizza....so I don't have to make a feast!
