Need Recipe Help Asap Purty Please!

[kcjodih]

Helpppppppppp.....I need to know ASAP (like right now, this minute ) what everyone is making for February. I have to email a hostess by late tonight or at the latest so that she gets it FIRST thing in the morning of her recipe choices for her Sunday show.

This is my first February show and I'm not sold on either the molten or turtle cake as I don't think it's much of a demo or shows many products. I was thinking maybe offering her a choice between different dips AND add the garlic parmesan pull apart in the saute pan but don't know which ones. She's been to a couple a parties a year for many years so I don't want to offer something she's had before. All these parties were with other consultants. I won't have access to the kitchen (we'll be in the lower rec room) and we don't have portable hot plates here in Canada at Wally World for sale so I thought I'd cook the bread and pull it out just before we start and then demo the dip.

Or any other idea would be appreciated.

I'm starting to panic as she and the past host seem to be quite 'judgemental' gals and I don't want them thinking 'how boring'.

Anyone?

I still haven't decided what I want to do yet either. Last month I did the pull apart bread and hot brocolli dip with it. I put both of them in the oven at the same time so they came out at the same time. Can she take something up to the kitchen to cook while you total people's orders? Thats what my hosts did last month.

My director is doing a demo out of the its good for you cookbook. Its an angel food cake recipe made in the bar pan. You could always do something with stoneware and then do a small batch of rice crispie treats in the small saute pan to show cookware

recipesDo you have two saute pans? How about having the Parmesan Pull-Apart Bread (the recipe that is done in the fluted pan, but I make it in the saute pan instead- it is much better tasting than the one with just the butter and ital. seasoning) ready when the guests come, and then show them how to do the same type of pull-apart bread in a sweet version. (caramel ice cream topping, maybe a little butter?, can't remember off the top of my head, and chopped pecans. Yum!

How is the pull-a-part bread done in the saute pan?

I have been making Italian Pasta Stir-fry in the family skillet and pull-aparts in the saute skillet. Everyone has RAVED about them both, and very easy to do both in 1 show

Hi Jodi, I understand your dilemma and I'm here to help! I have a few suggestions for you that will not only impress your hostess and guests, but also showcase some of our amazing products. First, for a dip option, I highly recommend our Spinach Artichoke Dip in the Rockcrok. It's a crowd-pleaser and can be easily demonstrated in the Rockcrok without needing a kitchen. Plus, it's a great opportunity to show off the Rockcrok's versatility and heat resistance. Another option for a dip is the Buffalo Chicken Dip made in the Deep Covered Baker. It's a delicious and easy recipe that can be made ahead of time and heated up in the microwave. For a bread option, instead of the garlic parmesan pull apart, you could try our Beer Bread made in the Stoneware Loaf Pan. It's a simple and tasty recipe that can be baked ahead of time and served with a variety of dips. As for a dessert option, our Chocolate Chip Cookie Dough Brownies made in the Brownie Pan are a hit with everyone and can be made ahead of time. I hope these suggestions help and good luck with your show! Let me know if you need any further assistance. Happy cooking!
